Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Developing a Predictive Model of Near-Neutral pH Stress Corrosion Cracking of Underground Pipelines
DownloadSpring 2014
Near neutral pH Stress Corrosion Cracking (NNpHSCC) on underground oil and gas pipelines is an issue facing industry today. Determining where NNpHSCC is likely to occur and grow is an important aspect to developing an Integrity Management Program. This work focused on developing a predictive...

Spring 2014
This work provides a guideline for gecko inspired dry adhesive design and simulation. Mechanical property testing for several polymers commonly used in gecko adhesives (Kraton G1657 thermoplastic elastomer, ST-1060, and ST-1087 polyurethane elastomers) allowed hyperelastic and viscoelastic...

Development and Applications of an Emissions Micro-Simulation Tool for Transportation Infrastructure Design
DownloadFall 2014
Transportation emissions constitute a significant portion of overall emissions inventories, and contribute to air quality health concerns. Reductions in transportation emissions can be achieved through efficient design of infrastructure, effective policy and regulation, and informed planning...

Spring 2015
This research aims to assist in the assessment of tailings management technologies through the development of a dynamic simulation model. The developed model (TMSim) incorporates the mine plan, various stages of dewatering including classification, pre- and post-deposition dewatering, and an...

Fall 2009
The present work deals with the development of a direct simulation strategy for solving the motion of spherical particles in non-Newtonian liquids. The purely viscous (non-elastic) non-Newtonian liquids are described by Bingham and thixotropy models. Validation of the strategy is performed for...

Spring 2014
This thesis documents the research undertaken to develop and assess modeling and monitoring tools to improve the water quality management in the Athabasca River, Alberta. The Upper Athabasca River (UAR) has experienced dissolved oxygen (DO) sags, which may affect the aquatic ecosystem. A water...

Enhancing space modeling and mobile resources planning in construction operations through a simulation driven visualization framework
DownloadFall 2011
Simulation modeling is a strong tool that has not been utilized to its expected potential in day to day construction industry activities. One of the reasons contributing to that is the inability of simulation models to depict changes in site space in an intuitive way. This research tries to...

Spring 2016
Renewal of damaged and worn pipes is becoming a significant maintenance concern for municipalities in North America as many collection systems (water and wastewater underground infrastructure) have reached beyond the ends of their service lives. Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) rehabilitation is one of...

Fall 2010
A laboratory experiment and a numerical simulation of a dual well pair SAGD process with live bitumen were conducted to examine operating strategies on the recovery performance of a multiple well pair SAGD process. The experiment was successfully carried out under such operation strategies as...

Experimental Response and Analysis Model of an Innovative Pile-To-Pile Mechanical Connector
DownloadFall 2017
Pile-to-pile mechanical connections are used when the depth of the soil layers with sufficient bearing strength exceeds the standard pile length and extensions are needed to reach the deep stable soil. Mechanical connectors permit a safe transmission of forces while meeting strength and...
