The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is the inertial destabilization of a parallel shear flow in a density stratified fluid under the influence of gravity. For example, this type of instability manifests itself as surface waves in the ocean when wind blows over the water surface. In this thesis we...

Double wythe masonry cavity walls consist of two masonry wythes, an exterior layer typically made of clay-backed or ceramic bricks (veneer) and the inner layer composed of concrete masonry units (CMU), which serves as a structural backup. In typical cavity wall design, the two wythes are assumed...

Mandibular Condyle Tissue Reaction to Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound in a Young Adult Rat Animal Model
DownloadSpring 2015
Mandibular condyle, especially in postnatal life, grows mainly by endocondral bone growth and has a pivotal role in development of the mandible and oro-facial complex as a whole. This important growth site of the mandible has unique adaptive remodeling in response to external stimuli even beyond...

Because of their high strength to weight ratio, stiffened steel plates are often used in light structures where plates are placed into compression. The stability of steel plates stiffened with longitudinal tee-shaped stiffeners and subjected to uniaxial compression or combined axial compression...

The production of a tailings waste stream is ubiquitous to mining and mineral processing operations, especially in Alberta’s oil sands industry. Due to the presence of colloidal clays such as kaolinite, which do not naturally sediment in suspension, water recycling and land reclamation remain...

Relationships among diverse root foraging behaviours: understanding plant behavioural types
DownloadSpring 2014
Behaviours capture the functional response of plants to environmental factors. I explore behaviours for twenty co-occurring grassland species in response to common belowground environmental factors (competition, mycorrhizae, heterogeneous and high nutrients) and their relationship to plant...

Objective: Reading is a complex behaviour requiring the connectivity of numerous brain regions. Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) has recently been used to examine the differences in reading networks in skilled adult readers and skilled and impaired child readers. Such...

Combining steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) and high strength longitudinal reinforcement in a structural member creates the potential for increased strength and durability compared to conventional reinforced concrete members. There is however limited research into the structural behaviour...

Shear Behaviour of Concrete Slabs and Beams Reinforced with High-Performance ASTM A1035 Steel
DownloadFall 2013
High-performance steel bars manufactured to conform to ASTM A1035-11 have different metallurgy and microstructure than conventional reinforcing steel. These changes result in an effective yield strength significantly higher than conventional ASTM A615 steel while also being less susceptible to...

Fall 2012
Hooked end steel fibers were included between 0~1% by volume to provide enhanced shear resistance to three different types of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) namely, a regular concrete mix, a lightweight aggregate mix and a high strength mix. The test results at the material scale showed a...
