Recent tailings dam failures occurring in past years have highlighted a need for innovative approaches to monitoring these structures. This research proposes to explore advances in the development of a novel type of distributed fiber-optic sensing technology known as Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), and evaluate its performance in monitoring a tailings dam. Ambient noise interferometry […]

Grand Lac St. Francois (GLSF) is a large lake in southern Quebec with a high diversity of fish species. There are several existing and emerging anthropogenic pressures at GLSF. One of the pressures of greatest concern is how the large and variable winter water level drawdown (due to operation of the Jules-Allard dam) influences the […]

Hollow core planks are used as floor systems in some structures. These planks are precast offsite of the structure and shipped to the building site for installation. They rely on the use of prestressing steel to help span large distances with minimal depth. The planks have several large voids in the interior of the concrete […]

Le système d’injection dans une machine thermique a une influence directe sur les émissions polluantes et les performances. Dans le but de développer un moteur plus écologique, une meilleure compréhension des variables d’injection permet de déterminer les conditions optimales afin de minimiser les émissions polluantes tout en maintenant des performances acceptables. Un prototype de Pratt […]

The National Building Code of Canada (and hence Canada) currently lacks an enforceable minimum safety standard for the design of its foundations. It is becoming increasingly apparent to the geotechnical community that the lack of a minimum standard of practice for such a critical component of each building, its foundation, leads to either inefficient designs, […]

The sector is constantly overwhelmed when catastrophic weather-related flooding occurs. By streamlining the process and empowering homeowners to do the jobs, properly themselves Phoenix can aid in disaster response across the country. Furthermore, in a post-COVID 19 world, cost-conscious consumers have been buying low-cost insurance solutions that don’t come near to covering the losses when […]

In order to meet the new 2012 Ontario Building Code (aBC) standard and further differentiate its leadership in the housing market, Heathwood Home has developed a pilot study to examine the cost-benefit of different energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy technologies that could apply to low-rise residential dwellings. The overall objectives of the proposed study […]
