The article focuses on open access (OA) publishing and methods by which authors can meet Canadian funding agencies' OA publishing requirements. It mentions OA repositories such as the University of Toronto's TSpace or the OA service OpenArticle. It reports the OA journal "Arctic Science" which will provide free and immediate access to the final published article which will temporarily wave article processing charges and states the publishing company is developing a new OA publishing platform.

The article provides information on Intelligent Sensing for Innovative Structures (ISIS) Canada, a national Network of Centres of Excellence (NCE) created in 1995. The objective of ISIS is to develop advanced technologies for civil engineering structures that are innovative by virtue of integrated fibre optic sensing (FOS) systems and the use of fibre reinforced polymers (FRP). ISIS is being financed primarily by the Canadian government.

Provides information on the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) Research Press on its 75th anniversary. List of journals being published by NRC Research Press; Development in the operations of NRC Research Press; Plans and preparations being made by the publisher for the future.

Presents a reply to a discussion on the article "Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composite Bars for the Concrete Deck Slab of Wotton Bridge." Design specifications of the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code; Description of the flexural method used for the concrete deck slab; Main objective of the laboratory test slabs; Effect of thermal strains on reinforced concrete structures.

The article discusses several inconsistencies in the treatment of the angle of internal friction in the modelling of dynamic ice-jam processes. It highlights the laboratory test conducted by researchers G. W. Timco and A. M. Cornett to eliminate uncertainties and errors arising from limitations of the study "Ice and sedimentation processes in the Saint John River, Canada." It is concluded that the findings concerning the spatial variability of the angle of internal friction is tenuous.

Introduces a series of articles on environmental engineering in Canada.
