Over the years, structural engineering codes and specifications in Canada and elsewhere have moved from an allowable stress design (ASD) approach to a load and resistance factor design (LRFD) philosophy. LRFD methodology takes better account of the inher...

Acoustic emission monitoring (AEM) has emerged as an effective technique for detecting wire breaks resulting from, e.g., stress corrosion cracking, and its application on prestressed concrete bridges is increasing. The success of this monitoring measure ...

The intensity of tropical cyclones is highly dependent on air?sea enthalpy and momentum exchange. At extreme wind speeds, the values of the enthalpy, CK, and momentum, CD, exchange coefficients are characterized by high uncertainty. The present study aim...
