This book comprises the proceedings of the Annual Conference of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering 2023. The contents of this volume focus on the specialty track in environmental engineering with topics on water and wastewater treatment, sustainability and climate change, remediation, and environmental hazards, among others. This volume will prove a valuable resource for researchers and professionals.
Dr. Serge Desjardins is Associate Professor and interim Chair of the Civil Engineering Department at the Université de Moncton. Holding a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (Structures) from Carleton University, his research focuses on structural health monitoring using long-term vibration responses and automated operational modal analysis. As a member of the Ottawa-Carleton Bridge Research Institute, he has contributed to advancing vibration-based monitoring techniques, notably for the Confederation Bridge. Serge is Fellow of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering; he is a long-serving executive member of the local CSCE section (Eastern NB) and has served as the faculty advisor of the CSCE student chapter for the past decade and as the faculty advisor to the CSCE concrete canoe team since 2021. Serge has more than 20 years of combined academic and industry experience. His industry experience includes working as structural design engineer on projects like the Ottawa International Airport expansion, the Croix-Bleue Medavie Stadium on the Université de Moncton campus, and several bridge rehabilitation and replacement projects in New-Brunswick.
Dr. Gérard J. Poitras is Professor in the Civil Engineering Department and Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the Université the Moncton. He completed his Doctorate studies in Engineering Sciences at the Université de Poitiers, France in 2002. His research interest includes wind-structure interaction, optimization of structures and dynamics of structures. He has more than 40 years of combined academic and industry experience in structural engineering. Professor Poitras is Fellow of Engineers Canada, Fellow of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE), and a past chair of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineers South-East NB section. In 2009, he received the Université de Moncton Award of Excellence in Teaching, and in 2014, the Outstanding Educator Award from the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientist of New Brunswick.
Dr. Kelvin Tsun Wai Ng is Professor of Environmental Systems Engineering at University of Regina, Canada. He is interested in the design of a sustainable waste management system, and he has received both research and teaching awards. Dr. Kelvin has authored/coauthored more than 150 publications, and he has reviewed 500+ manuscripts in 100+ refereed journals and conference proceedings. He is currently serving on the editorial boards for various journals, including journals of waste management, environmental science and pollution research, and ecological informatics. Dr. Kelvin also served as a grant reviewer for various Canadian and European funding agencies. Currently, he is serving on the Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee (SWMAC) with Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment, as well as the Awards Committee with Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS). Dr. Kelvin is chairing the Environmental Division Chair for Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE). He organized and chaired/co-chaired several international conferences, including the CSCE General Conference in 2015, and the six CSCE Environmental Specialty Conferences from 2019 to 2024.
