Alberta needs to supercharge its energy storage
Two Saturday evenings ago, something unprecedented happened in the Province of Alberta. Provincial residents received an emergency alert notification asking them to conserve electricity use as Alberta’s electricity system, operated by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO), was in a level 3 grid alert.

Below, we have included a summary of key changes made to the draft Guideline.
Nouvelle ligne directrice B-10 du BSIF sur la gestion du risque lié aux tiers | JD Supra
Le 24 avril 2023, le Bureau du surintendant des institutions financières (le « BSIF »), soit l’organisme de réglementation des institutions financières fédérales au Canada, a publié la nouvelle Ligne directrice sur la gestion du risque lié aux tiers (B-10) (la « nouvelle ligne directrice B-10 »). La publication tant attendue de cette dernière fait suite à la publication d’un projet de ligne directrice le 27 avril 2022 et à une période de consultation subséquente.

OSFI’s New Guideline B-10: Third-Party Risk Management | Blakes
clarifies that the risk and criticality of a third-party arrangement are to be considered in determining the intensity of applying expectations set out in the Guideline; assigns a greater importance to criticality and indicates that it can be used to scale risk assessments (as noted above, criticality is defined and relates to the impact of a risk event on the FRFI, irrespective of its likelihood); clarifies that example due diligence considerations (Annex 1) and provisions for contractual...
Design and Detailing Recommendations of Slotted-Hidden-Gap Connection for Square HSS Brace Members
Abstract The slotted-hidden-gap (SHG) connection eliminates the need to reinforce the slot region of hollow structural sections (HSS) braces of concentrically braced frames (CBFs). However, the existing design approach for SHG connections is rather empirical and limited by the range of the connection geometries and materials that had previously been tested.
Finite-Element Simulation of the Lateral Response of Posttensioned Base Rocking Steel Bridge Piers
Abstract This paper presents the results of a finite-element (FE) study on posttensioned (PT) rocking steel bridge piers, each composed of a circular tubular column, welded end plates, PT strands, and axially yielding steel energy dissipators (EDs), and corresponding chairs. The pier is configured so that it rocks at its base. Previously conducted experiments on five scaled rocking steel columns are summarized.
Nouvelle ébauche de la Ligne directrice B-10 du BSIF sur la gestion du risque lié aux tiers | JD Supra
Le 27 avril 2022, le Bureau du surintendant des institutions financières (le « BSIF »), l’organisme de réglementation des institutions financières fédérales au Canada, a publié la nouvelle ébauche très attendue de la Ligne directrice sur la gestion du risque lié aux tiers (B-10) (le « projet de ligne directrice »).
Experimental Investigations on the Lateral Cyclic Response of Post-Tensioned Rocking Steel Bridge Piers
Downloaded 150 times Technical Papers Abstract This paper presents the results of a series of unidirectional quasi-static cyclic tests on 1/3-scale post-tensioned rocking steel bridge column specimens designed to rock at the interface with the foundation. The objective was to examine the effects of column diameter-to-thickness ratio, base plate, and energy dissipaters and their locations on the lateral cyclic behavior of the system.
Robert A. Tremblay: Spotlight should be on success, not drop in test scores during pandemic
Robert A. Tremblay "Traumatized loved one told how much they disappointed others during pandemic" For most of us, a headline like that would make us sick to our stomach, but it would certainly capture our attention.
Full-Scale Cyclic Rotation and Shear-Load Testing of Double Web with Top and Seat Angle Beam-Column Connections
Downloaded 0 times Technical Papers Abstract Partially restrained beam-column connections such as bolted double web with top and seat angle connections can be used in the gravity load system of steel buildings to develop secondary moment frame action and enhance seismic collapse prevention.
Rotational Capacity of Bolted Double-Web-Angle Beam-Column Gravity Connections through Full-Scale Experimental Testing
Downloaded 0 times Technical Papers Abstract Double-web-angle beam–column connections are used extensively for gravity framing in steel buildings. Although they are designed to resist shear and to allow rotation, they still possess moment capacity that may contribute to lateral resistance, particularly in extreme-load scenarios.
Design of Bolted Single Shear Lap Connection with Different Thicknesses of Splice Plates
Downloaded 0 times Technical Papers Abstract A method based on elastic stability analysis to design bolted single shear lap (SSL) connections, which are traditionally used for hollow structural section (HSS) bracing members, is proposed in this paper. The method includes connections with different lap plate thicknesses. An approximate nonlinear analysis method is also presented to mimic the inelastic buckling and post-buckling response of the connections.
Elastic-Plastic Analysis of Bolted Angles Usable in Steel Frame Connections
Downloaded 8 times Technical Papers Abstract An analytical model was proposed to predict the monotonic load-deformation behavior of bolted angles used in semirigid steel frame connections. This model was validated using the results of 30 pull tests performed on bolted angle specimens with 10 different geometrical configurations. The model employed elastic-plastic analysis to follow the behavior upon formation of up to four plastic hinges involved in the entire yielding mechanism.
Seismic Assessment of Existing Steel Chevron Braced Frames
The seismic response of existing, nonductile 3- and 10-story steel chevron braced frames is examined to identify potential deficiencies. The structures are located on the west coast of Canada. They were designed in accordance with the 1980 Canadian building code, without any specific seismic ductility considerations for braces, brace connections, or floor beams. The frame beams are light because they carry low tributary gravity loading.
Improvements to the simplified analysis method for the design of seismically isolated bridges in CSA-S6-14
The design provisions for seismically isolated bridges in the CAN/CSA-S6 Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code and the AASHTO Guide Specifications for Seismic Isolation Design (AASHTO 2010, 2014) have been developed primarily based on ground motions recorded along the west coast of North America.
Seismic design and response of steel multi-tiered concentrically braced frames in Canada
This article investigates the seismic design and response of steel multi-tiered concentrically braced frames (MT-BFs) in which braces meet at columns between diaphragms. The seismic design provisions of CSA S16-14 are described and illustrated for three-tiered Type MD (moderately ductile) and five-tiered Type LD (limited ductile) braced frames. Analysis methods are proposed to evaluate the in-plane flexural demand on columns.
3-D Vision Enables Challenging Adhesive Inspection Applications
A new generation of 3-D vision systems is being used to automate the inspection of adhesive applications that cannot be addressed with conventional 2-D vision systems. The key advantage of 3-D vision in adhesive applications is the ability to determine the width, position, height and volume of the adhesive that has been applied. The newest 3-D vision systems use a combination of a laser that projects a line and an image sensor, both contained in a single industrial housing.
Quality Magazine
3D vision systems are being implemented throughout a number of inspection applications that previously could not be addressed with conventional 2D vision systems. One such 3D system is a laser displacement sensor, which consists of a laser that projects a line and an image sensor, which are both contained in an industrial housing.
Montréal vulnérable aux tremblements de terre
Montréal, zone à risque. L'information surprend, d'autant plus que le plus puissant séisme enregistré à ce jour dans la métropole est de 5,8... en 1732. Mais la ville se trouve dans une zone où il y a une activité sismique modérée, donc où il y a la possibilité d'avoir des séismes entre 5 et 6 sur l'échelle de Richter. « Le parc de bâtiment n'est pas conçu selon les normes d'aujourd'hui, il va y avoir des dommages.
