Spring 2013
The durability of concrete is one of its most important properties and has been an attractive subject for research in recent years. One of the criteria that affect concrete durability is permeability. Transport processes in concrete have been investigated for several decades. However, the...

The most common detrimental processes that lead to reduction in durability in reinforced concrete elements are shrinkage, sulphate attack and chloride attack. Shrinkage is a dimensional instability chiefly caused by a loss of moisture in the hydrating cement paste. Soluble sulphate ions take part...

Although significant progress in the modelling of the nonlinear response of reinforced - concrete (RC) structures at the element level has been achieved in the past decades, reliable and accurate analysis models at the system level for RC structures are scarce. Due to the complexity of elements...

Feasibility Studies on Usage of Agro-Forestry-Based Ash as a Cement Replacement in Concrete
DownloadSpring 2015
This study is part of a joint Canada-India research program to effect sustainable construction. Alberta generates a significant amount of waste from agricultural- and forest-based industries. Similarly, India has lots of sugar cane bagasse waste. Researchers in both countries want to use these...

Embedded plates (embeds) are a common method of joining steel and concrete members in structures. Research at the University of Alberta emphasized the lack of consideration in the Canadian concrete design standard CSA A23.3:19 Annex D for the effect of reinforcement on anchorage capacity, as well...

Effect of Cellulose Nanocrystal Particles on Rheology, Transport and Mechanical Properties of Oil Well Cement Systems
DownloadSpring 2018
The increase in oil consumption during the past few decades, coupled with oil/gas extraction from shale in the recent years has increased drilling and cementing demands. Well cementing operation is one of the most crucial and important steps in any well completion. However, since it takes place...

Fall 2010
This study assesses the suitability of four sectional shear methods for predicting the shear capacity of reinforced concrete members which do not comply with S6-06 Section 14 stirrup spacing and area requirements. The results of the evaluations indicate that the sectional shear provisions in...

Modelling Repair Techniques for Reinforced Concrete Bridge Barriers using Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer Bars
DownloadSpring 2021
In an era where bridge deterioration due to corrosion has become evident and a pressing concern for future reinforced concrete bridge construction, glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement has emerged as a feasible alternative to steel due to its superior corrosion resistance. Research...

Bond Performance between Lightweight Concrete with Crumb Rubber and Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer Bar
DownloadFall 2017
For any reinforced concrete structure, the bond between concrete and the reinforcement bar is the most important parameter from structural standpoint. Notwithstanding numerous prior studies on describing this interaction for different reinforcing bars, not enough understanding exists for fibre...
