Adapting modular structures for healthcare applications
(2022)COVID-19 has highlighted many vital factors to consider when it comes to the healthcare systems. Some challenges such as personnel, equipment, and space demands. Personnel demand can be met by calling retired doctors and ... -
Advancing wind load assessment of low-rise buildings: CFD and wind tunnel approaches
(2025)Understanding wind hazards is essential for designing low-rise buildings that are resilient over time. These structures located within the turbulent Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) are particularly vulnerable to wind-induced ... -
Assessment of fire-induced damage and CFRP retrofitting strategies for GFRP-reinforced concrete columns
(2025)Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are increasingly used to improve the durability and sustainability of reinforced concrete structures. Glass FRP (GFRP) bars offer a corrosion-resistant alternative to steel reinforcement, ... -
Experimental investigation of exposed column base plate connections subjected to combined axial and bi-directional lateral loading
(2023)Column base plate (CBP) connections are critical components in the overall design of a steel structure. CBP connections are responsible for transferring the forces exerted on base columns through a base plate and grout ... -
Long bolted HSS-to-HSS connection for modular structures: a solution for indigenous housing challenges
(2025)Remote Indigenous communities across Canada are experiencing severe housing shortages and widespread repair needs, both stemming from engineering challenges encountered during construction. To address these issues, ... -
Optimization of tall buildings subjected to wind load using genetic algorithm and image-based machine learning
(2025)As the prevalence of tall buildings are on an upward trend in urban cities, the need to navigate their design intricacies becomes increasingly important. Tall buildings exhibit dynamic and nonlinear responses to applied ... -
Structural layout optimization framework of tall buildings subjected to wind load
(2024)Conventional design methodology for tall buildings is a time-consuming and repetitive trial-anderror procedure with a limited probability of yielding an optimal solution that satisfies architectural, structural and ... -
Wind-induced pounding of tall buildings
(2022)Pounding of adjacent structures under lateral loads (e.g., earthquake and wind) due to proximity has been a major cause of building damage in the past. The effects of pounding can be mitigated by providing a suitable gap ...
