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.

Understanding absenteeism in construction: a pilot study on industrial construction in Alberta
DownloadSpring 2010
Absenteeism is a factor that adversely influences construction productivity. Construction employers in Alberta have been trying to address high levels of absenteeism on their projects but they have not been successful so far. This study aims at a better understanding of absenteeism on...

Spring 2015
Airport leakage is a phenomenon that occurs when air passengers choose to travel longer surface distances to take advantage of better air services at an airport further away (i.e., the substitute airport), instead of, as expected, using their local airport. The overall objective of this research...

Spring 2016
Vehicle painting booths are among the major sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions in the auto manufacturing sector. A challenge with controlling VOCs by adsorption onto activated carbon (AC) is the occurrence of strongly, or even permanently, adsorbed species. Irreversible...

Understanding and Improving Input for Quantitative Risk Analysis in the Construction Industry
DownloadFall 2013
Risk analysis in the construction industry involves identifying risk events that could potentially affect a project and its delivery, quantifying those risks, and developing mitigation strategies to enhance project success. This thesis aims to improve the process of risk analysis through the...

Spring 2019
Combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has led to improved oil recovery from unconventional resources over the past decade. In spite of the huge amount of oil in-place, the primary oil recovery factor is very low (3-10 % of initial oil in-place) in unconventional resources....

Spring 2022
Estimating costs for construction projects is a complex and often uncertain process. Given the inherent uncertainty of estimating and the unique risk profile of each construction project, many owners use cost uncertainty analysis to understand a project’s range of potential costs. Since results...

Understanding the Role of Amphiphilic Chemical Additives in Enhanced Oil Recovery from Molecular Perspectives
DownloadFall 2022
Carefully designed chemical formulas are often applied in the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process. Understanding the molecular distribution and working mechanism of each component can provide theoretical guidance in designing chemical formulas with desired functionalities. In this dissertation,...

Unraveling the relationship between trip chaining and mode choice using Structural Equation Models
DownloadSpring 2010
Trip chaining and mode choice are two important travel behavior decisions in activity-based travel demand modeling system. The hierarchy of these two decisions influences model’s predictive capability and policy sensitivity. This thesis is aimed at investigating the hierarchical relationship...
