Solving structural vibration issues

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.

Purposeful planning for mining decarbonization

Based on current worldwide policies, climate projections are estimated to result in about 2.7°C above pre-industrial levels.1 Increased GHG emissions from human activity, including heavy industry, is one of the leading contributors to the temperature rate increase. As unprecedented heat waves, fires and floods are being witnessed around the world, global social awareness of climate change is rising quickly. This is putting tremendous focus on environmental initiatives and driving action toward sustainable investments in greener energy.

Acoustic measurements: the effects of weather on sound propagation

Weather conditions influence noise levels, especially over long distances, and need to be considered when taking acoustic measurements. In Québec, the Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP) has established criteria for weather conditions that must be met in such situations. The criteria are set out in Note d’instructions [guidance note] 98-01.

Ingenious women – Mina Shahraki

"Growing up in Iran with a family background in biology and medicine, it was expected of me to pursue a profession as a medical doctor. However, my passion for math and physics, as well as my desire to create safe environments, drew me to the field of civil engineering. I wanted to learn how to design structures that could withstand any external conditions and provide safety for those inside. Despite the societal pressure to conform to traditional gender roles, my parents encouraged me to pursue my interests and supported my decision to study civil engineering. They firmly believed that their daughters should have the freedom to pursue their dreams without limitations.

Ingenious women – Mélanie Chouinard

''I’m a very analytical person, but I also listen to my instincts a lot, and by trusting myself, I’ve been able to make the important decisions that have shaped my career. If I think something’s wrong, I stop, ask questions and sometimes, take a step back so I can start again... just like in innovation! If, on the other hand, I feel good about it, I go for it. So far, it’s served me well!
