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.

Fall 2010
In the past riveting was commonly used for connecting steel structures, such as bridges. These fasteners usually develop a low and unreliable level of pretension such that the joints are assumed to behave like bearing type connections. Under cyclic loading, and depending on the stress...

In the construction industry, it is common practice to use timber mats beneath crawler cranes to redistribute heavy loads over large surfaces and allow the stresses on the soil to fall within allowable design limits. The distribution of stresses beneath the mats is generally assumed to be...

Fall 2016
The most common fatigue problem in steel structures is fatigue cracking caused by distortion. Although methods of repair for structures that suffer from distortion induced fatigue do exist, our ability to assess the resistance of existing structures is lacking. Consequently, it is difficult to...

Stress- and strain-based reliability assessment of pipelines subjected to internal pressure and permanent ground movement
DownloadFall 2023
As a critical member of infrastructural lifeline, pipelines fulfill a vital role in energy delivery across long distances from source to market. Pipelines at service can be exposed to a wide variety of loads depending on the environment and the area of application. Internal pressure and ground...

Fall 2019
In order to meet a higher standard of building energy efficiency, the thermal insulation of exterior walls is often increased. Adding a layer of continuous thermal insulation exterior to the cavity insulation, insulated sheathing, to reduce thermal bridging is getting more popular in practice. In...
