Aiming to best their third place honours received last year, the University of Toronto student chapter of the Canadian/National Electrical Contractors Association (CECA/NECA) is competing in the 2018 ELECTRI International/NECA […]
At the largest scale, fractures give rise to volcanoes and earthquakes and at engineering scales they form pathways for fluids to flow through and reduce the strength of rock. For […]
The demand for underground radioactive waste repositories makes the study of thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes in rocks an increasingly important topic. In collaboration with the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) we conducted […]
The heart of the Rock Fracture Dynamics Facility is a technologically advanced true-triaxial computer controlled rock deformation system with integral permeability measurement and geophysical imaging capability. For the first time, it is possible […]
Hydraulic fracturing is the initiation and propagation of a fracture by means of fluid pressurization. Hydraulic fracturing has grown in popularity over the past couple of decades in response to […]
New U of T Engineering research shows that adoption of self-driving cars — also known as autonomous vehicles (AVs) — could significantly reduce the amount of valuable urban space dedicated […]
Here at Building Tall Research Centre at University of Toronto, we harness the power of machine intelligence and advances in robotics to design and implement innovative solutions for smart construction […]
Mega projects are the major mode of development across the engineering sectors of infrastructure, energy, and mining. Including other fields with similar delivery models such as defence, aerospace, and global […]
Factors Affecting Safety Performance of Construction Workers Introduction Safety is a critical issue in the construction industry. Although it has been broadly researched from many perspectives, continuous improvement in […]
