A Quantitative Assessment of Cost and Carbon Dioxide Emissions Associated with Industrialized Concrete Basements in Cold-climate Regions
DownloadFall 2024
Vecchio Castillo, Valeria Veronica
The building and construction industry aims to reduce its CO2 emissions to reach Net-Zero goals by the year 2050. However, the industry faces the challenge of a possible increase in its CO2 emission levels due to rapid global population growth. Consequently, researchers and practitioners have...

Serviceability and Ultimate Performance of Steel and Chopped Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete Flexural Members: Experimental and Analytical Study
DownloadFall 2024
Fibre reinforcement in concrete mitigates cracking, significantly enhancing peak, post-cracking, and toughness responses. The versatile applications of Fibre-reinforced Concrete (FRC) encompass parking lots, taxiways, runways, ground slabs, tunnels, barriers, railway tracks, site access road...

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...

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...

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...

Structural Reliability of Non-Slender Loadbearing Concrete Masonry Members under Concentric and Eccentric Loads
DownloadFall 2017
Moosavi Nanehkaran, Seyed Abdol Hadi
Although the reliability levels of structural steel and reinforced concrete structures designed to the Canadian codes and standards have been investigated substantially in the past four decades, studies on the reliability of masonry structures are limited. Based on some preliminary studies in...

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...
