Particle size effects on breakage of ACT aggregates under physical and environmental loadings
Aggregates manufactured from fine-grained thermal waste residues using accelerated carbonation technology (ACT) represent a potential sustainable alternative to natural aggregates. However, for these manufactured products ... -
Particle Size Effects on Breakage of ACT Aggregates Under Physical and Environmental Loadings
Aggregates manufactured from fine-grained thermal waste residues using accelerated carbonation technology (ACT) represent a potential sustainable alternative to natural aggregates. However, for these manufactured products ... -
Performance of High-Modulus Near-Surface-Mounted FRP Laminates for Strengthening of Concrete Columns
This study investigates the performance of high-modulus near-surface-mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates in strengthening of existing concrete columns. The focus of this study is on the compressive and ... -
Post-impact residual strength and resilience of sandwich panels with natural fiber composite faces
In this paper, the post-impact residual flexural behavior of sandwich panels with flax fiber-reinforced polymer (FFRP) faces and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam cores is investigated experimentally. The faces were manufactured ... -
Quantifying hydraulic conductivity spatial variability for a cement-based solidification/stabilization (S/S) remediation project: a case study.
This paper presents statistical analyses of hydraulic conductivity data collected from an existing cement-based solidification/stabilization (S/S) system. The goal is to characterize the spatial variability of hydraulic ... -
Recycled gypsum powder from waste drywalls combined with fly ash for partial cement replacement in concrete
Recent developments towards sustainable infrastructure have motivated more environmentally conscious construction practices. The concrete industry is known to have a large carbon footprint, which can be decreased by reducing ... -
Reliability Assessment of Concrete-Filled RHS Beam-Column Design Provisions (Preprint)
Revisions were recently proposed to the way in which concrete-filled hollow structural section members are handled in CSA S16. These revisions were based on previous research, comparisons to experiments, and an approximate ... -
Reliability-Based Evaluation of the Stiffness Reduction Factor for Slender GFRP Reinforced Concrete Columns
The stiffness of concrete columns is adjusted by a factor referred to as the stiffness reduction factor or the stability resistance factor when utilizing the simplified second-order moment magnification method for designing ... -
Residual Behavior of Sandwich Panels with Flax FRP Faces and Foam Cores after an Impact Event
polymer (FFRP) faces which have been subjected to impact loading will be investigated. The sandwich panels tested in this study were fabricated using a closed cell polyisocyanurate foam with a density of 64 kg/m3 and faces ... -
Rethinking the use of seabed sediment temperature profiles to trace submarine groundwater flow
Submarine groundwater fluxes across the seafloor facilitate important hydrological and biogeochemical exchanges between oceans and seabed sediment, yet few studies have investigated spatially distributed groundwater fluxes ... -
Second-order Analysis of Slender GFRP Reinforced Concrete Columns Using Artificial Neural Network
Analysis of slender concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars is required for design and optimization purposes. Finite element, finite difference, and analytical-numerical tools were ...
