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.

Digital Twin for Production Estimation, Scheduling and Real-Time Monitoring in Offsite Construction
DownloadFall 2023
The offsite construction industry continues to rely on experience-based average production rates (i.e., average quantity per unit of time) to estimate and schedule production operations. This approach is hindered by various sources of production variability, such as machine breakdowns and...

Spring 2022
Mechanical parts sustain significant wear throughout their lifetime and consequently get defects such as cracks, abrasion, erosion, or breakage. For instance, turbine blades experience high pressure and temperature fields which can cause damage, corrosion, and indentation. In this case, the parts...

Fall 2021
The spatiotemporal distribution of hydraulic fracturing-induced microseismicity is complicated and depends on various mechanical and diffusional parameters. Hydraulic fracture modeling can aid in understanding fluid-induced microseismicity. Nevertheless, the interaction of several physical...

Spring 2024
In the process industry, certain quality variables cannot be measured regularly due to technical limitations or economic constraints. Consequently, the industry relies on laboratory analysis to measure such quality variables. However, laboratory analysis introduces long time-delays in obtaining...
