Fire performance of a novel concealed mass timber moment-resisting connection utilizing mechanically-fastened steel rods
(2020)
A major hindrance to more application of engineered-wood products in the Canadian building
construction market is the lack of technical documentations and guidelines for the design of timber
beam-to-column connections, ...
Performance-based fragility and resilience assessment of coastal bridges subjected to extreme wave loads
(2022)
Bridges are vulnerable to severe damage due to extreme wave-induced loads from natural
disasters, including storm surges, tsunamis, and hurricanes. The frequency of these hazards has
been increasing recently as a direct ...
Concrete structure damage classification and detection using convolutional neural network
(2022)
A resilient infrastructure system remains a top priority for Canada as it is hinged to strong
economies. Corrosion, ageing, aggressive environments, material defects, and unforeseen
mechanical loads can compromise the ...
Fracture behavior of fiber-reinforced cemented paste backfill under curing pressure
(2022)
Due to the rapid strength acquisition rate, relatively high solid content, and sustainable reuse of
waste tailings, cement paste backfill (CPB) technology has gradually become a standard practice
in underground mining ...
Geomechanical behaviour of fibre-reinforced cemented paste backfill under cyclic loading conditions
(2022)
Cemented paste backfill (CPB) is considering a promising mine backfilling technology with
several technical, environmental, and economic benefits for the underground mining operation.
After placed into underground voids ...
Effect of sulfate content on the evolutive fracture behavior and properties of fiber-reinforced cemented paste backfill
(2022)
Backfilling technology is utilized globally to improve ore recovery, reduce mine-generated waste,
and provide stability to underground voids. Cemented paste backfill (CPB), a mixture of mine
tailings, cement binder, and ...
Dynamic stability of an axially loaded elastically restrained column
(2023)
The dynamic stability of axially loaded columns is a key problem in structural analysis, and in
earthquake engineering particularly. Experience has shown that columns occasionally buckle
when subject to dynamic axial ...
Experimental investigations on the effects of grid-screen, sand bed, and nozzle orientation on the dynamics of bubble plumes
(2023)
A bubble plume is defined as a column of air that flows through a liquid ambient due to the density difference between air and the ambient liquid. Bubble plumes have been utilized in wastewater treatment and oxygen transfer ...
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 ...
Identifying and addressing roundabout accessibility issues confronting persons with vision loss in Canada: a pilot study
(2023)
Municipalities and Transportation Agencies in Canada are building more roundabout
intersections to promote efficient and safe movement of traffic for their low carbon
footprint, low lifetime maintenance cost, and better ...
