Dimensionnement mécaniste empirique de chaussées

Le dimensionnement des chaussées au Canada est actuellement effectué avec des méthodes empiriques. Ces méthodes limitent la possibilité d’utiliser de nouveaux matériaux et de nouvelles technologies qui permettraient de prolonger la durée de vie des chaussées tout en limitant leur impact négatif sur l’environnement. Il existe des méthodes de dimensionnement mécaniste-empirique, comme PavementME et des […]

Non-destructive applications of gene transcriptional profiling to fish health and stress quantification

Freshwater fish contribute to the economic and ecological wellbeing of Canada; however, they are in decline globally. To mitigate those threats, accurate health status data for individual fish is critical. Since fish respond to changes in their habitat through gene expression, unexpected changes in gene expression patterns are powerful indicators of fish stress and declining […]

Investigate of implications of atmospheric corrosion on various flanged configurations for pipelines and process equipment

Atmospheric corrosion, commonly known as weathering is among the leading causes of infrastructure degradation. The extent of atmospheric corrosion becomes more concerning when it triggers localized and non-linear metal loss rates. One such scenario is the localized corrosion at the flanged connections in piping, pipeline, and equipment for hydrocarbon industry and even utility sectors. As […]
