  • 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River
    INTRODUCTION 76 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River In spite of the 360‐metre drop of the Ottawa Figure 2.27 “The Great Kettle”, between its headwaters and its mouth, the river has Chaudiere Falls been a highway for human habitation for thousands of years. First Nations Peoples have lived and traded along the Ottawa for over 8000 years. In the 1600s, the fur trade sowed the seeds for European settlement along the river with its trading posts stationed between Montreal and Lake Temiskaming. Initially, French and British government policies discouraged settlement in the river valley and focused instead on the lucrative fur trade. As a result, settlement did not occur in earnest until the th th late 18 and 19 centuries. The arrival of Philemon Source: Archives Ontario of Wright to the Chaudiere Falls and the new British trend of importing settlers from the British Isles marked the beginning of the settlement era. Farming, forestry and canal building complemented each other and drew thousands of immigrants with the promise of a living wage. During this period, Irish, French Canadians and Scots arrived in the greatest numbers and had the most significant impact on the identity of the Ottawa Valley, reflected in local dialects and folk music and dancing. Settlement of the river valley has always been more intensive in its lower stretches, with little or no settlement upstream of Lake Temiskaming. As the fur trade gave way to farming, settlers cleared land and encroached on First Nations territory. To supplement meagre agricultural earnings, farmers turned to the lumber industry that fuelled the regional economy and attracted new waves of settlers.

  • Non-Destructive Detection of Corrosion of Epoxy Coated Rebar
    NON-DESTRUCTIVE DETECTION OF CORROSION OF EPOXY COATED REBAR by BRIGITTE GOFFIN A DISSERTATION IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Civil Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2017 ©Brigitte Goffin, 2017 Abstract Abstract Deteriorating infrastructure is an acute and dangerous problem, which is often caused by the corrosion of concrete reinforcement. Marine structures and bridge decks, where sea water and de- icing salts lead to chloride ion diffusion into the concrete are particularly at risk. Epoxy coated rebar (ECR) is a popular choice for the latter structures. However, corrosion of ECR, which occurs due to coating damage, poses a challenge to non-destructive corrosion detection. This study investigated the corrosion behaviour, accelerated corrosion and non-destructive corrosion detection of ECR. The electrochemical corrosion behaviour of ECR in simulated concrete pore solutions was studied and compared to uncoated rebar (UCR). The polarized area of ECR was related but not proportional to the sodium ion concentration of the test solution. Furthermore, ECR was more susceptible to corrosion than UCR, particularly in the presence of NaCl and in NaHCO3 solution. A test solution of Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 led to the formation of a very fragile passive layer, that grew slowly but continuously. However, the protective layer was sensitive to even small amounts of NaCl. Corrosion of ECR was accelerated in neutral and alkaline NaCl solutions as well as in concrete. Neutral and alkaline environments promoted coating holiday and undercoating corrosion, respectively. Part of the undercoating corrosion process was cathodic delamination, whose acceleration prior to corrosion acceleration slowed down the lateral corrosion expansion.

Beauchamp fonds CREATOR: Beauchamp, Jacques C., 1928- EXTENT: 3.72 metres of textual records and other material DATES: n.d., 1893-1990, 2014 Biography: Jacques C. Beauchamp was born in Ottawa on 8 June 1928. He received a bilingual education in Ottawa schools and then went to McGill University in Montreal. He graduated with a bachelors in civil engineering in 1952. He started with the Department of Northern Affairs and Natural Resources on the restoration of historical sites and bridge designs for the National Parks Branch. Beauchamp moved to the federal Department of Public Works (later Public Works Canada) in 1955 where he worked on the design of structures for the Trans-Canada Highway through the Rockies and bridges in the north. Beauchamp was a District Engineer in Quebec 1960-1967, where he was responsible for the Trans-Canada Highway in Quebec, Roads to Resources, and other civil engineering work. In 1970 Beauchamp became the Director of Bridge Engineering for Public Works Canada (PWC) in Ottawa and the Director General of Structures in 1987. He oversaw the design, assessment and repair of interprovincial bridges. He had oversight of the skating oval, ski jump and bob sled/luge tracks for the 1988 Olympics in Calgary. Beauchamp’s most important project was the preliminary work on the Confederation Bridge linking Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick across the Northumberland Strait. He was one of the key people in overseeing the preparation of engineering feasibility studies and the first round of tender proposals for the construction of the Confederation Bridge.

(MH) was retained by the Town of Hawkesbury (the Client), to perform a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for three (3) property parcels at the eastern end of the Chenail Boulevard (“the site”). A Phase I ESA was not completed for the site prior to this Phase II ESA, but environmental information was obtained from four (4) background reports supplied by the client. Key findings from these reports included the presence of a former railway line that ran across the site, significant infilling activities with suspected material from an industrial site, and use of the site and surrounding area for bulk fuel storage from the 1930’s to 1992. Based on this review, the contaminants of concern (COCs) were identified as metals, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), Petroleum Hydrocarbons (PHC), and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). The environmental field program was performed in three (3) stages, building on the results from the prior stage. A total of fourteen (14) boreholes were drilled, all of which were completed as monitoring wells. Soil and groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for the COCs.
