Abstract: An analysis has been carried out for the basic mechanism of rapid-transit tunnel ventilation due to train piston action and for the temperatures resulting in the system. Theory is in general ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a series of punch tests conducted on freshwater ice rubble at the University of Calgary. The main objective of the tests was to approximate the in situ punch tests in such a manner that ...

Abstract: An experimental study of turbulent flow in a plane curved channel of depth-to-width ratio 8:1 and mean radius-to-width ratio 1.83:1 by means of measured distributions of mean peripheral velocity ...

Abstract: This paper describes the organization and conduct of a 4th year capstone project for civil engineering students at the University of Calgary that embodied a very significant international component and the difficulties ...

Abstract: The magnitude of the force acting on a structure during an ice‐structure interaction is obtained using an approach based on linear elastic fracture mechanics. The magnitude of the ice‐structure interaction force makes the ...

Abstract: The ability to accurately route flows through storm drain networks relies not only on the skill of the engineer, but also on the resources at his disposal. The purpose of this paper is to stress the advantage of using a ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the use of wave power as a viable energy source. A novel method for using a float to capture the power of waves is proposed, and the responses to a modeled sinusoidal ...

Abstract: The recent growth of magnetic bearing applications in the chemical, utility and aerospace industries requires more accurate design tools to insure reliable and effective operation as components ...

Abstract: This paper proposes new coefficients for design bending moments for interior reinforced concrete flat plates. These design coefficients are safe for strength and serviceability and are calculated using Hillerborg’s advanced ...
