Masonry wall systems are an essential structural component of a building, providing resistance against lateral and gravity loads. Due to its economy and efficiency, most masonry walls in low- to moderate-seismic markets are partially-grouted, in which only the reinforced cells are filled with

The extensive damages caused by natural disasters incur substantial costs to the built environment. The escalating frequency and severity of disasters, particularly hurricanes, driven by the impacts of Climate Change, highlight the urgency for prompt post-disaster assessments. A thorough and...

these uncertainties on the structural behaviour of masonry structures is of paramount importance to lay down the basis for reliable structural design. This thesis focuses on the uncertainty analysis of the out-of-plane behaviour of reinforced concrete masonry walls using mechanics-based finite element

Steel cantilever plate connection elements are rectangular steel plates that are distinguished from other connection plates by their two opposite unrestrained edges. The increased length of cantilever plate connection elements in some connection configurations raises concern regarding the...

maintained structures are increasing in importance (Mirza, 2007). The use of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), which uses sensor technology paired with data acquisition and analytical models to quantify various bridge parameters such as strain, vibration, and displacement, has been growing in popularity in

structural health monitoring and predicting the effects of various damage cases on the modal properties of the bridge using an analytical model. Twelve triaxial accelerometers were deployed in four locations along the bridge, and the modal properties were calculated from the acceleration data using a

Wildfires occurring in proximity to urban areas pose a potential risk to the safety and wellbeing of the population, while also carrying the potential for substantial economic damage through the destruction of infrastructure and private property. Canada, given its unique geographical and climatic...

released a disclosure document for the proposed project. Since then, a comprehensive public and regulatory consultation and communication program as well as an Environmental Impact Assessment have been underway in parallel with engineering studies. This document comprises the application for approval of

Project Millennium and serves to meet requirements under the Alberta Oil Sands Conservation Act and the Alberta Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act. It also includes the Environmental Impact Assessment. This folder contains the main volumes of the EIA plus the supporting reports. Look at the

While most biomolecules can be visualized with a fused fluorescent protein, more sophisticated biosensors are required to report a specific

reports the first experimental detection of the elusive heterochiral dimer. This detection unequivocally establishes that tunneling between the gauche forms of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol cannot be responsible for the strong chirality synchronization observed. The result highlights the advantages of using high

resolution spectroscopy in comparison to low resolution spectroscopy, in providing detailed and important structural and dynamical information about the molecular recognition process at the microscopic level. The first step of the solvation process of methyl lactate, a multifunctional chiral molecule, by
