Tensile Properties of Flax FRP Composites
In this study, the effects of the polymer matrix properties and shape of test specimens on mechanical properties of flax fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are examined. A total of 30 flax FRP coupons were fabricated ... -
Tensile Properties of PET FRP with Bio-resin Polymer
This study analyses the mechanical behaviour of polyethylene terephthalate fiber-reinforced polymer (PET FRP) made with a bio-resin polymer matrix. The utilized bio-resin is furfuryl alcohol mixed with phthaloyl dichloride ... -
Theory, tools, and multidisciplinary applications for tracing groundwater fluxes from temperature profiles
Quantifying groundwater fluxes to and from deep aquifers or shallow sediment is a critical task faced by researchers and practitioners from many environmental science disciplines including hydrology, hydrogeology, ecology, ... -
Three-point Bending of Sandwich Beams with FRP Facing and PP Honeycomb Core
In this study, two sets of sandwich beams were tested in three-point bending. The sandwich panels were fabricated in a wet layup process. The facing component was made of either polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber-reinforced ... -
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 ... -
Using Heat to Trace Vertical Water Fluxes in Sediment Experiencing Concurrent Tidal Pumping and Groundwater Discharge
Heat has been widely applied to trace groundwater-surface water exchanges in inland environments, but it is infrequently applied in coastal sediment where head oscillations induce periodicity in water flux magnitude/direction ... -
Using TDA to Partially Replace Coarse Aggregates in Concrete Mixtures
Applications utilizing rubberized concrete have grown substantially in the last decade as an answer for the scrape tires stockpiling problems and its associated environmental issues. Though rubberized concrete mixtures ... -
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. ...
