Abstract: Laboratory apparatus to simulate flow through culverts has been used to collect discharge and water level measurements. Two different shapes of culvert barrels, namely square and circular, were tested. The measurements ...

Abstract: Parking garages are among the concrete structures that suffer from corrosion and deterioration due to exposure to deicing salts. The 40-year-old La Chancelière parking garage in Québec (Canada) showed severe corrosion-related ...

Abstract: Development of stage–discharge relationships for coastal low-gradient streams is a challenging task. Such relationships are highly nonlinear, nonunique, and often exhibit multiple loops. Conventional parametric regression ...

Abstract: Hybrid reinforcement for concrete bridge-deck slabs is being investigated through a collaboration project between the Ministry of Transportation of Quebec (MTQ) and the University of Sherbrooke. This paper presents design ...

Abstract: This study investigated the punching shear behavior of two-way concrete slabs with glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars as flexural reinforcement and FRP stirrups (glass or carbon) as shear reinforcement. A total of ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the crashworthiness of prototype steel post-and-beam barriers [Ministry of Transportation of Québec (MTQ) Type 210] whose concrete curb-to-bridge deck connection is reinforced with corrosion-resistant ...

Abstract: Water losses in irrigation systems are a major problem in arid countries. The losses are primarily due to inefficient irrigation systems and uncontrolled water delivery. Improving the irrigation‐management systems is ...
