Strengthening Short Concrete Columns Using Longitudinally Bonded CFRP Laminates
This paper investigates the behavior of short concrete columns strengthened with externally bonded longitudinal carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates combined with transverse basalt fiber-reinforced polymer ... -
Lateral Behaviour of Concrete-Filled FRP Tube Piles
Applications of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite piles are rapidly gaining traction in Canada and around the world. FRP piles offer several advantages compared to traditional piles, the most important of which is ... -
Green Sandwich Composites Fabricated from Flax FRP Facings and Corrugated Cardboard Cores
Composite sandwich beams and panels made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and lightweight, low-density core materials have been shown to be effective in reducing weight and increasing strength and stiffness in a variety ... -
Cumulative Impact Energy Absorption of Sandwich Panels with Foam Cores and Flax FRP Facings
In this paper, the cumulative energy absorption of sandwich panels constructed of foam cores and flax fiber-reinforced bio-based polymer (FFRP) faces is studied. Nine sandwich panels were constructed and tested under varying ... -
Diffusion and Sorption of VOCs Through Soil-Cement Materials
This paper presents a laboratory study that assesses the diffusive and sorptive parameters of three volatile organic compounds benzene, ethylbenzene, and trichloroethylene) though cured, monolithic, soil-cement materials. ... -
Variation of horizontal in situ stress with depth for long-term performance evaluation of the Deep Geological Repository project access shaft
A site characterization program was carried out for a proposed Deep Geological Repository (DGR) project for Ontario Power Generation's (OPG) low- and intermediate-level nuclear waste repository near Kincardine, Ontario. ... -
Fillet weld effective lengths in CHS X-connections. II: Finite element modelling, parametric study and design
Finite element (FE) modelling was performed to extend the results of a recently completed experimental test program to evaluate the static strength of fillet welds in X-connections between circular hollow sections (CHS). ... -
Using a geotextile with flocculated filter backwash water and its impact on aluminium concentrations
The use of geotextiles (i.e. geotextile tubes) in wastewater treatment applications is ever increasing. This paper examines the potential of using a geotextile to improve upon the treatment of aluminium present in a filter ... -
Low impact development effects on aquifer recharge using coupled surface and groundwater models
Low impact development (LID) is promoted as a sustainable management practice for stormwater in urbanized catchments. While the positive effects of LID features on surface water hydrology and water quality have been ... -
Development of a leaching procedure to asses the risk of uranium leaching due to construction and demolition waste
Naturally-occurring uranium can be found at elevated concentrations in groundwater throughout the world, with the potential to cause kidney damage in chronically exposed individuals. Empirical evidence shows that uranium ... -
Contribution of Longitudinal GFRP Bars in Concrete Cylinders under Axial Compression
Contribution of longitudinal glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in concrete columns under compression has been ignored by current design guidelines. This paper challenges this convention by testing 21 concrete ... -
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 ...
