Solving structural vibration issues
Publications
-
A structure subjected to vibrational stresses can exhibit unexpected behaviour and may suffer rapid damage. For instance, some members far from the source of vibration may begin to vibrate significantly, a phenomenon known as resonance. When the vibration frequency of an external influence approaches the resonant frequency of the system under study—determined by the system's properties—it can lead to substantial displacements and even catastrophic structural failure.

03 Nov 2021Power and RenewablesConcrete is inherently a durable material, but its durability under any given set of exposure conditions varies with concrete mixture proportions, the presence and positioning of reinforcement, and the detailing, placing, finishing, curing and protection it receives. In service, it may be exposed to abrasion, moisture cycles, freezing and thawing cycles, temperature fluctuations, reinforcement corrosion and chemical attack, which would cause deterioration and potential service life reduction.Structural concrete condition assessment and repair methodologies -

11 Aug 2021Power and RenewablesProject managers want to ensure their work complies with Québec’s Environment Quality Act (EQA), but recent changes are making them face major challenges. In fact, the EQA update and the enactment, in December 2020, of the Regulation respecting the regulatory scheme applying to activities on the basis of their environmental impact (REAFIE) have radically changed how activities are supervised subject to ministerial authorization under section 22 of the Act. Remember that the REAFIE classifies proposed activities according to their level of environmental risk. So, under certain conditions, activities may be entitled to a statement of compliance or exempt from an authorization. So, how do you figure it out?Project compliance with environmental laws: Why is the initial approach important?

06 Apr 2021Power and RenewablesDepending on the thermal properties of their internal insulation and regular maintenance, fluid-filled transformers typically have a service life of up to 40 years. At some stage in its lifetime, a purely economic decision will have to be made as to whether to refurbish or simply replace the transformer. Before refurbishing the transformer, it is best to be well prepared.Fluid-filled transformer refurbishment: points to monitor
