Analysis and Comparison of Experimental Tests of Barrier-Deck Slab Overhang Structures Using Steel and GFRP Reinforcement
DownloadSpring 2024
Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymers (GFRP) have been commonly used as external or internal reinforcement of repaired or sound structures for some time in North America. GFRP-reinforced concrete (RC) technology has been implemented in bridge components like decks and barriers whose exposure to harsh...

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...

INVESTIGATION OF SHEAR CONNECTION SYSTEMS FOR PARTIALLY COMPOSITE INSULATED CONCRETE AND DOUBLE WYTHE CAVITY MASONRY WALLS
DownloadSpring 2024
Insulated concrete and double wythe cavity masonry walls are commonly used on building exteriors. Both wall types consist of inner and outer layers known as wythes, which surround an insulation layer, and these wythes are joined by mechanical devices known as shear connectors. In insulated...

Double wythe masonry cavity walls consist of two masonry wythes, an exterior layer typically made of clay-backed or ceramic bricks (veneer) and the inner layer composed of concrete masonry units (CMU), which serves as a structural backup. In typical cavity wall design, the two wythes are assumed...

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...

Standardization and Testing of Embedded Plates for Design, Fabrication, and Construction Economy
DownloadSpring 2021
Embedded plates are commonly used to facilitate connecting structural steel members to reinforced concrete building elements such as walls and columns. Due to a lack of readily available industry-wide standard embedded plate designs, embedded plates are often custom designed for each project....

Slender masonry walls are often found in school gymnasiums, warehouses and other low-rise buildings. According to current North American masonry design standards, a slender wall is defined to have a height-to-thickness ratio of 30 or greater. These walls must satisfy several stringent...

Spring 2024
Masonry connectors are used in wythe wall systems to either transfer lateral loads or increase composite behaviour. As future energy code requirements are updated, insulation is increasing which increases the cavity within walls which affects a connector’s behaviour. Due to a lack of masonry...

Most of Canada’s municipal infrastructure, including bridges, was built between the 1950s and 1970s. With design lives of 50-100 years, many of these structures are due for major rehabilitations or replacements. With the growing costs of deteriorating infrastructure, the cost savings from...
