Biography
Professor Chouinard is a specialist in the field of structural engineering. His research and teaching interests are diverse, including spatial modelling of environmental data (earthquakes, hurricanes, icebergs), estimation of natural and man-made hazards, reliability analysis of engineering systems, and the inspection, evaluation and modelling of aging infrastructures and optimal allocation of repair and maintenance funds. He joined the Department of Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics at McGill in June 1992.
Research Interest
1.Estimation of ice scouring hazards for offshore oil production facilities 2.Condition indexing system for the rehabilitation, evaluation, maintenance and repair of embankment dams 3.Ice forecasting model for navigation in Canadian waters
