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.

Steam-Solvent Coinjection for Bitumen Recovery under Reservoir Heterogeneity with Consideration of Water Solubility in Oil
DownloadFall 2017
The main objective of this research is to determine if expanding solvent-steam assisted gravity drainage (ES-SAGD), wherein a small quantity of a condensable solvent is coinjected with steam, can be a better alternative to SAGD in highly heterogeneous formations. Specifically, three previously...

Fall 2013
The objective of this research is to develop design methods for steel plate shear wall in low and moderate seismic regions, and to examine its performance under accidental blast. Different practical details are investigated to reduce the force demands on the boundary frame of the wall system and...

Spring 2016
The susceptibility of structures to extensive collapse when subjected to a localised failure due to an extreme loading event has in recent years gained considerable research attention. The scenario most often used to assess such performance, either experimentally or through finite element...

Fall 2012
Transition metal-mediated E–H (E = Si, Ge) bond activation plays a pivotal role in industrially important processes, such as hydrosilylation and dehydrogenative coupling of organosilanes. Activation of these bonds by mono-metallic complexes is well studied, however, E–H bond activations in...
