Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper is a review of the civil engineering heritage of Canada, one of the series of national profiles being published by Engineering History and Heritage. It is presented under four headings: ‘Canada’s major civil engineering achievements’, ‘National and regional recognition of engineering heritage’, ‘Exemplar conservation of engineering structures’ and ‘Information sources for engineering heritage’. The profile discusses engineering structures of heritage importance, including the Victoria Bridge in Montreal; the Quebec Bridge in Ste-Foy, Quebec; the Canadian Pacific Transcontinental Railway; the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage sites in the Historic District of Quebec City; and the Rideau canal in Ottawa. The profile lists organisations in Canada that are active in helping conserve its engineering heritage, including the Ministry of Canadian Heritage, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada and many provincial heritage organisations, and concludes with a short list of websites and books giving further information about Canadian civil engineering heritage.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
