In the process of issuing building permit, urban planners need to check the compliance of proposed development with all required rules, policies, and land-use regulations (e.g., 2D and 3D) of the city mostly by using 2D graphical representations. In this internship, we will assess the value added of having 3D digital representation of land-use regulation […]

Ce projet permettra de gérer la forte demande énergétique sur le réseau électrique grâce à l’utilisation de technologies de stockage énergétique dont les accumulateurs thermiques et le stockage à air comprimé. De façon plus spécifique, le projet a pour objectif de développer un outil de design pour l’implantation efficiente des accumulateurs thermiques et de tracer […]

Inhalation of Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) generated during construction activities such as cutting or grinding can cause lung cancer and the irreversible lung disease. Exposure to RCS is common on construction sites because silica is a naturally occurring mineral that is present in many construction materials. The Silica Control Tool is a risk assessment tool […]

Civil infrastructures, particularly high-rise buildings, Along the Coastline are susceptible to damage when subjected to extreme loads like earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis. These loads are associated with the tragic loss of life and high structural repair costs. Current research trends focus on developing design techniques to mitigate the adverse effects earthquakes have on structures. However, […]

Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif principal d’évaluer le confort des passagers dans la cabine d’un train léger lorsque soumis à des accélérations verticales résultant de l’interaction dynamique du système Train-Rail-Pont. Afin d’obtenir des résultats réalistes, une analyse dynamique détaillée par éléments finis s’avère nécessaire. La méthodologie proposée dans ce projet consiste à évaluer […]

The intensity and frequency of earthquakes in Korea have increased in the past few years. Thus, the need for seismic retrofit of many middle- or low-rise buildings has increased which were designed without seismic design provisions. Nonlinear time history analyses need to be performed for accurate seismic performance evaluation and for appropriate retrofit of structures. […]

Cette recherche porte sur le développement de nouvelles méthodologies de diagraphies qui seront adaptées et optimisées pour le contexte des fondations rocheuses des ouvrages de génie civil. Le travail de la thèse consistera d’abord à évaluer les potentiels d’intégration des différentes techniques de diagraphies disponibles dans un système holistique. L’identification des spécificités du domaine du […]

Concrete is an abundant material present on earth today. It is believed that cement is the second-most abundant material after soil on planet. Infrastructure expansions and developments are close to impossible in the 21st century. Hence, building durable structures is necessary. Reinforced concrete, being a heterogeneous material, the possibilities of defects are immense. To save […]

Under the Lab2Market Program, the intern will develop and test a field notes tool called STRATUM to alleviate stresses caused by documentation in the field. The tool development will be guided by the results of three studies: 1) a qualitative investigation of user needs and sources of stress (already underway); 2) a preliminary survey of […]

The project seeks to discover the optimum design and commercialization strategy for newly developed sandwich structures derived from recycled plastic for the civil engineering sector. The sandwich structures are highly sustainable and could potentially consume large amounts of the rapidly produced plastic waste. The final sandwich product would have the potential to be used in […]

Pipelines are extremely important for the transportation of oil and gas. Buried pipelines can move in a relatively large distance under special scenarios, e.g. slope failure. Meanwhile, the surrounding soils are subjected to a large deformation. This project aims to develop a computer modeling technique to analyze the large-deformation behavior of soil and its impact […]
