Cases of dam failures are seen almost every year globally, and the propagation of rapidly varying unsteady flows resulting from those dam failures has significant environmental and economic consequences. A three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics model was created to solve unsteady Reynolds-Averaged equations to investigate the generation and propagation of dam-break flows and reflected flood waves in the presence of a trapezoidal bottom obstacle. The dam-breaks were modelled using OpenFOAM based on the Volume of Fluid method employing the Finite Volume Method, and the performance of various Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes turbulence models, including the realizable k − ε, SST k − ω (Shear Stress Transport k − ω), and v2 − f models, has been evaluated. To assess the capabilities of the different turbulence models, quantitative comparisons of numerical simulations with laboratory experiments were completed, and it was found that the SST k − ω model performed better in predicting the free surface profiles and negative bore propagation speeds than the realizable k − ε and v2 − f models.
在全球范围内，几乎每年都会发生大坝溃坝事件，而这些大坝溃坝引起的快速变化的非定常流的传播具有重大的环境和经济后果。建立了三维计算流体力学模型，求解非定常reynolds - average方程，研究了存在梯形底障时溃坝流和反射洪波的产生和传播。采用基于流体体积法的OpenFOAM模型，采用有限体积法对溃坝进行了建模，并对各种reynolds - average Navier-Stokes湍流模型的性能进行了评估，包括可实现的k−ε、SST k−ω(剪切应力输运k−ω)和v2−f模型。为了评估不同湍流模型的能力，完成了数值模拟与室内实验的定量比较，发现SST k−ω模型比可实现的k−ε和v2−f模型在预测自由表面轮廓和负孔洞传播速度方面表现更好。

The process of icing and the resulting layered ice masses, called aufeis, are caused by the freezing of overflow originating from groundwater or surface water. Aufeis can directly impact infrastructure and property, most commonly through winter ice formation and spring flooding within, against, and on the surface of hydraulic structures and transportation infrastructure. They also represent a safety concern for drivers. This geohazard often needs to be managed proactively and efficiently to mitigate associated risks. This paper provides an overview of the consequences of aufeis in northwestern Canada. A total of 50 existing and novel icing and aufeis mitigation approaches are described and classified. The context of applicability for each approach is identified, considering the source of water, the type of infrastructure, and its role in the formation of aufeis. Finally, future research avenues to support the development or improvement of aufeis risk reduction techniques are presented.

This paper presents a method to quantitatively assess the impact of ice-affected hydraulics on hydropower operations using the widely used HEC-RAS hydraulic model. The model was used to identify historical periods where downstream river ice growth reduced the net head on a US Army Corps of Engineers dam on the Pend Oreille River in Idaho, USA. The model was used to create curves of projected stage impacts based on border ice and continuous bank-to-bank ice-formation scenarios. The temperature modelling capabilities in HEC-RAS were used to hindcast ice formation periods on the river which were validated with shore-based webcam data. These results provide a framework that can be applied to other rivers with hydropower generation, particularly sites where an open water HEC-RAS model exists.

A combined sedimentation test of suspended solids, colloids, and inorganic salts and a sand column blocking test were conducted, and mineral composition and grain characteristics of sediments were determined. Adsorption and flocculation reactions occurred in colloids (silver iodide) and inorganic salts (calcium chloride or aluminum sulfate), and final products were flocculation or flocculent network polymers. This increased the sedimentation rate of suspended matter by 8–18 times. Combined migration of suspended solids, colloids (silver iodide), and inorganic salts (calcium chloride or aluminum sulfate) significantly exacerbated silting of sand columns. Compared with sand column silting caused by pure SS, this combined migration more than halved sand column silting time and reduced hydraulic conductivity by nearly one order of magnitude.

An experimental investigation of 126 masonry prisms was conducted to assess the influence of concrete masonry unit web height on structural response. All prisms had the same overall geometry, were either grouted or left hollow, and included either: regular stretcher units with full-height webs, knock-out units with remaining web height conforming to typical Canadian practice, or knock-out units with remaining web height resulting in a calculated normalized web area approaching the minimum permissible in accordance with U.S. standard ASTM C90. Cracks in hollow prisms shifted from the centre of the exterior web face for those constructed with regular stretcher units to the web-face shell interface as the remaining web height decreased. The stability of the grout columns in grouted prisms reduced stress concentrations at the web-face shell interface and the effects of increased restraint with reduced height-to-thickness ratio.

In a present study, bio-binder was made using the bio-oil obtained from rice straw and petroleum hard pitch to reduce the air pollution caused by the burning of waste rice straw in the field. The physical, rheological, and chemical tests were conducted on the viscosity grade binders (VG30 & VG40), petroleum hard pitch, and bio-binders prepared with a blending of petroleum hard pitch with 20 and 30 wt.%. The performance of bituminous mixes made with viscosity grade binders and bio-binder was evaluated by using the dynamic creep, resilient modulus, and tensile strength tests. The results of the frequency sweep and FTIR tests indicate that bio-binders have poor resistance to aging. The rut resistance of the bio-binder modified mix was better than that of the VG30 mix. There is no significant difference in moisture resistance of bituminous mixes prepared with bio-binder and viscosity grade binders.

Delays are a pervasive challenge in the global construction industry, requiring more consideration to address project failure. This research proposes an improved methodology for analysing delays in the construction industry. Through a literature review, a set of 85 delay factors were identified and classified into five categories aligned with the various project phases: initiation, design, procurement, execution, and closeout. A method based on the Z-number theory was developed for the evaluation and prioritization of delay factors in the context of Pakistan. This approach incorporates expert judgment, confidence level, and experience to enhance the reliability of the evaluation. The research findings underscore the substantial influence of several critical factors on project delays. Specifically, factors such as cost inflation, contractor financial issues, inadequate project supervision and management, adverse weather conditions, insufficient skilled labour, delays in government document approvals, and unforeseen cost escalations during construction emerged as the foremost contributors to project delays.

This study examines the impact of climate change combined with clogged expansion joints on the integrity of four typical I- and box-girder bridges in Canada. The investigation considers ten different climate regions across the country. The results reveal that the accumulation of debris, including compacted ice in expansion joints, poses a significant threat to bridge structures. Winnipeg and Saskatoon are identified as the most vulnerable regions to projected temperature changes with restricted movement, while Vancouver shows the lowest susceptibility. The study recommends classifying climate regions based on their vulnerability to climate change to facilitate resource allocation for bridge maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement. Furthermore, a formula is introduced to assess and prioritize critical bridges in Canada's extensive inventory, offering a systematic and objective approach to efficient resource allocation for bridge maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation.

Construction crew productivity is affected by the motivation of the crew performing given activities and by situational/contextual factors forming the dynamic construction environment. The literature lacks a comprehensive analysis of causal relationships between crew motivation and situational/contextual factors for dynamic modelling of crew productivity. The contributions of this paper are 1) identifying a set of criteria for performing expert weight assignment for heterogenous group experts in productivity research, 2) proposing an integrated fuzzy analytic hierarchy process–fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (FAHP-FDEMATEL) approach that provides a systematic, structured method for determining causal relationship mapping between factors affecting crew productivity, and 3) proposing an approach for identifying cause-and-effect groups amongst the situational/contextual factors and crew motivation, which can further be used to formulate strategic productivity improvement solutions. The proposed methodology is demonstrated using a case study on an actual industrial construction project in Alberta, Canada.

The wall system constitutes a large portion of the material used in building construction. Although non-structural interior walls cover more surface area within a building, published literature has mainly focused on the performance assessment of exterior walls. The aim of this research is to examine the life cycle environmental, social, and economic performance of interior wall construction methods (i.e., concrete block masonry, wood stud gypsum, and steel stud gypsum) used for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional buildings. The findings indicated that the environmental, social, and economic performance of concrete block masonry wall is 49%, 23%, and 18% higher than the next best alternative. This research has generated important information that can be used in material specification for greener building design.
