DEMAND MODEL FOR CRUDE OIL RAIL AND PIPELINE SHIPMENTS IN CANADA
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-24)Global energy demand is expected to increase significantly over the next 10-20 years, and in the absence of an increase in pipeline capacity, Canadian crude oil shipments are likely to be diverted to rail. The current rail ... -
Estimates of gridded relative changes in 24-h extreme rainfall intensities based on pooled frequency analysis
(Elsevier, 2019-10)The potential effect of climate change needs to be considered in urban infrastructure design and risk assessment to improve reliability. The present study proposes a methodology for obtaining grid-scale relative changes ... -
Evaluation of the Performance of Pervious Concrete Pavement in the Canadian Climate
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-30)Pervious concrete pavement has the capacity to perform as two types of infrastructure: a pavement; and a stormwater management solution. It is a low impact development as it does not alter the natural hydrological cycle ... -
An Improved Static Seismic Design Method for Podium Structures with Vertical Irregularity of Mass and Stiffness
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-12)Owing to potentially reduced costs and faster project timelines, North American designers are increasingly opting for novel structural systems that are not well-addressed by the current model codes. Specifically, mid-rise ...
