After several pandemic-related delays, the Transit Access Project for Youth (TAP for Youth) is getting underway. TAP for Youth is a transit equity research project of the University of Toronto student chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB). The team comprised…
Designed to fail: an elegant solution to save buildings during earthquakes Pedram Mortazavi, a CivE PhD candidate in structural engineering under the supervision of Professors Constantin Christopoulos and Oh-Sung Kwon, is championing work to mitigate earthquake damage to buildings with…
By Phill Snel We know civil engineers are involved in building tall buildings, long bridges and large stadiums, but just how much detail do civil engineers delve into? Surprisingly, they’re examining building materials down to the microscopic level. Sharing research…
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 sites and facilities of near future.Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also…
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 events, it is estimated that 8% of annual world gross…
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 safety performance is now facing challenges. A safety plateau or…
Filters from HVAC systems in buildings tell a story about the particulate contaminants in the air. Quantitative filter forensics combines HVAC characterization with physical, chemical, and biological analysis of dust that accumulates on filters. The results provide insight on human…
