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.

    method.Studies are performed on improving risk-based maintenance strategies, which are currently widely adopted in pipeline industry. A simulation-based approach is developed for cost evaluation for pipelines with corrosion defects. The probability of failure (PoF) threshold is used as input random variable

    effective pipeline integrity management system. This thesis provides a comprehensive review and fundamental knowledge on pipeline integrity management based on ILI data. Physics-based models and data-driven methods for predicting defect growth for pipelines with different categories of defects are discussed

    needed to accurately evaluate defects based on ILI data, predict defect growth and optimize integrity activities to prevent pipeline failures, and pipeline integrity management has drawn extensive and growing research interests.The aim of this thesis is to develop effective prognostics and risk-based
