Dynamic risk assessment of natural gas transmission pipelines with LSTM networks and historical failure data
City-scale modelling of road thermal and hydrologic characteristics and failure mechanisms
First city-scale modeling of Montreal's roads at 250 m super-resolution. • Reductions in freeze-thaw related distress anticipated for the cold season. • Heightened risks of rutting in a future warmer climate. • Increases in road and land runoff projected for both cold and warm seasons. • Underscores the necessity for reassessing the existing road drainage system. This study focuses on understanding and quantifying projected changes to road therma…
High-resolution regional climate–CFD integrated modelling to inform climate responsive design of northern buildings in a changing climate
In permafrost regions, where climate change poses significant challenges to infrastructure stability, understanding the thermal behaviour of buildings is crucial. This study conducts a detailed investigation into the thermal performance of elevated buildings in permafrost regions within the context of a changing climate. High-resolution regional climate simulation-informed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models were developed for northern buil…
Internal thermal mass for passive cooling and ventilation
How effective is naturally ventilated internal thermal mass for obviating air-conditioning, mitigating heatwaves and storing carbon in buildings? This study combines detailed climate model outputs with scaling rules for optimizing internal thermal mass coupled with buoyancy ventilation. It identifies regions where this passive design strategy is most effective during future heatwaves and determines how much internal thermal mass each person needs…
Projected changes to extreme wind and snow environmental loads for buildings and infrastructure across Canada
Projected changes to extreme ice loads for overhead transmission lines across Canada
