This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
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.

Geometric Tolerance Quantification and Prediction Framework for Additive Manufacturing Processes
DownloadFall 2021
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an advanced manufacturing technology used to manufacture custom and geometrically complex parts using a layer-by-layer material addition process. Variations in the AM process lead to ‘deviations’ in the manufactured part, resulting in geometric non-conformance. To...

Predictive Method for Pipeline Strain Demand Subject to Permanent Ground Displacements with Internal Pressure & Temperature
DownloadFall 2022
Pipelines subject to ground deformations generated by geohazard loads carry high importance on pipeline analysis, design, and assessment due to risk of structural damage or failure. Additionally, internal pressure and temperature variation within an operating pipe induce additional strains in...
