NCK Engineering Ltd. has become one of the leading consulting engineering companies in the world. Over numerous achievements in civil engineering, art structures and construction projects, NCK has built and claimed to be a world-renowned expert in its profession. The Firm has been involved in the design and construction of many landmark projects and specialized structures such as CN Tower in Toronto. NCK's business strategy is built on providing innovative solutions to build sustainable infrastructures with enhanced durability, ductility and economy. Over the years, NCK has analyzed and design various structural systems made of traditional regular and high performance concretes. Company is currently seeking to specialize in the design and construction of structural systems incorporating emerging highly flowable ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concretes (UHPFRCs) such as those developed at Ryerson University. The high strength and high strain capacity makes UHPFRCs an ideal durable material for construction. The objective of this project is to develop design and analysis tools (such as finite element 'FE' models) which are not currently available/fully developed for UHPFRC based structural elements/systems (such as frames and shear walls) through
