A Comparative Analysis on Sewer Structural Condition Grading Systems Using Four Sewer Condition Assessment Protocols
DownloadFall 2012
Pipeline condition assessment is a primary task in running an efficient urban asset management program because in the case of system failure, the consequences can be significant to both municipalities and users. Selecting a suitable assessment protocol is crucial for municipalities, since the...

Pipelines form an integral component of the distribution network of oil and gas products, which have to be transported from production sites to markets far off where there is need for them. Pipelines thus have to traverse long distances and as any other structure are susceptible to damages with...

Buried pipelines that share a common corridor with nearby overhead AC power lines experience voltage induction. The induced voltages can cause personnel safety and pipeline corrosion problems. Industry has a requirement to reduce the induced voltages below an acceptable level. In view of the...

Application of manure from cattle fed with different diets affects soil properties and greenhouse gas emissions
DownloadSpring 2019
Cattle production contributes the largest portion of livestock agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada mostly in the form of methane (CH4). Efforts to reduce CH4 emissions have led to modification of diet composition for livestock, resulting in a corresponding change in manure...

Biodiversity of soil arthropods in a native grassland in Alberta, Canada: obscure associations and effects of simulated climate change
DownloadFall 2013
Soils have traditionally been treated as a “black box” due to the challenges of studying this complex medium. The living component of soil consists of a complex network of roots and mostly very small, highly abundant, and extremely diverse group of microbes, protists, and other invertebrates. In...

Biomass fuels have long been accepted as useful renewable energy sources, especially in mitigating greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. Fossil fuel-based power plants make up over 30% of the GHG emissions in Alberta, Canada. Displacement of fossil fuel-based power through biomass co-firing has been...

Chars were obtained from individual fuels and blends with different blend ratios of coal, coke and biomass in Drop Tube Furnace at different temperatures. Based on TGA experimental data, it was shown that the effect of the blending ratio of biomass to other fuels on the reactivity of the...

Creation and Characterization of Ceramic/Polymer Bi-Continuous Composite Material for Hot-Bitumen Pipeline Coating
DownloadSpring 2015
Current composite materials base their capabilities from the dispersion of discrete reinforcing materials throughout a matrix. This method places too much reliance on the surface bond between matrix and reinforcing phase. By employing two continuous, interpenetrating materials, it is theorized...
