Air-Void Characteristics and Permeability of Fibre Reinforced Repair Mortar for Conservation
DownloadSpring 2019
Masonry is among the oldest and widespread construction materials, used to build structures traditionally, both in North America, and worldwide as well. Most of the historical buildings have been built with pre-Portland cement mortar. A large number of existing masonry buildings in Canada have...

Analytical and Experimental Study of Gas Flow Regime in the Matrix and Fractures of Shale Gas Reservoirs
DownloadFall 2016
One of the most significant differences between conventional and unconventional gas resources is the ultra-low matrix permeability of unconventional gas reservoirs such as shale, coal and tight gas. Matrix permeability of shales is an elusive but important parameter in characterizing shale gas...

Effect of Cellulose Nanocrystal Particles on Rheology, Transport and Mechanical Properties of Oil Well Cement Systems
DownloadSpring 2018
The increase in oil consumption during the past few decades, coupled with oil/gas extraction from shale in the recent years has increased drilling and cementing demands. Well cementing operation is one of the most crucial and important steps in any well completion. However, since it takes place...

Evaluating Track Stiffness and Rail Bending Moments using Vertical Track Deflection Measurements Considering the Effects of Track Geometry
DownloadFall 2020
Vertical track stiffness (or track modulus) is generally accepted as one of the key structural properties of track which impacts the bearing capacity, dynamic response of passing trains, quality of track geometry, and track components’ life. Although it is known that track stiffness parameters...

A sizeable portion of the Athabasca oil sand reservoir is classified as Inclined Heterolithic Stratification (IHS). IHS is a particular type of lithosome that is comprised of two alternating lithologies which are fluvially-dominated sand beds and brackish tidally-influenced mud beds. However, due...
