Low temperatures in cold seasons generate diverse challenges for the construction industry in many northern countries. Construction based on cementitious material suffer from the low hydration rate at low temperatures and the possible damage caused by water to ice transition at below freezing temperatures. The common solution for this problem is to heat and protect […]

Recent years have witnessed a boom in the construction of modern high-rise buildings in megacities around the world. It is important to design a high-rise building that can effectively withstand both wind and earthquake loads. Nonetheless, in current practice, the design of highrise buildings for wind and earthquakes is done independently. Hence, there is an […]

A l’heure actuelle, le domaine de la construction est l’un des plus en retard au niveau des nouvelles technologies par rapport aux autres domaines de l’industrie. En effet, que ce soit pendant la phase de conception, ou celle de réalisation, l’information circule encore beaucoup sur support papier, et en grande quantité. Alors que des études […]

This research project investigates how disaster memorial spaces such as museums, monuments, and preserved sites contribute to collective memory and public engagement in different cultural contexts. Focusing on case studies in Japan and drawing comparisons with prior research in Türkiye, the project examines how spatial design, narrative construction, and visitor interaction shape societal understandings of […]

This project is developing innovative composite materials using advanced AeroGel technology for use in the construction industry. These materials are designed to be lightweight, highly insulating, fire-resistant, and durable, making them ideal for improving energy efficiency and safety in buildings. The proposed project will help the partner organization explore how these cutting-edge materials can be […]

Thermal bridging is a significant challenge in building design, increasing heat loss, raising energy demand, and reducing occupant comfort. As awareness of its impact grows, Canadian building standards are evolving to mandate more sustainable and energy-efficient construction practices. However, existing solutions for mitigating thermal bridging, particularly in balconies, are often ineffective, difficult to install, or […]

Off-site construction involves prefabricating building components in a controlled environment, allowing for enhanced efficiency, quality, and sustainability. This research addresses critical challenges in the development of manufacturing facilitylayoutsfor Roberts Group, Prince Edward Island(PEI). By employing digital simulation approaches, the project aims to design and optimize factory layouts and workflows, reducingmaterial and streamline production processes to […]

Ce projet de recherche, en collaboration avec Hydro-Québec, vise à mesurer l’impact dynamique de la glace sur les piliers des évacuateurs de crues et à vérifier les forces calculées selon diverses normes et guides. L’aménagement hydroélectrique de Rivière-des-Prairies a été choisi en raison de ses fréquents déversements en hiver et au printemps, qui exposent les […]

There are three main problems in construction sector which are addressed through our startup. The first one is the high negative environmental impacts and energy required for conventional concrete or earthen constructions. The second problem is the high pre- and post-construction costs which results more building costs and maintenance fees. Lastly, there is the necessity […]

FluidPlanet.org is a site that hosts digital twins for use in education, entertainment and enterprise. We work with university and college students to produce and publish simulations of real world places.

Le projet de doctorat porte sur les liens entre illégalité et développement urbain aux Philippines. De manière à mener le terrain adéquatement aux Philippines (à l’hiver 2025), une session de recherche à Turin en Italie sera entreprise durant l’automne 2024. Cette session a pour but de me former aux sujets reliant illégalité et ville que […]
