Fall 2021
Newer energy codes for buildings in Canada now require energy losses associated with thermal bridging in smaller components to be accounted for. In masonry cavity wall systems, most of the energy losses from thermal bridging are due to structural penetrations at floor levels located at the shelf...

Sharma, Nitin Kumar, Kannan, Rangasayee, Hogan, James D., Fisher, Gary, Li, Leijun
Surface mining causes significant wear damage that affects equipment performance, reliability, and lead to associated downtime costs. To improve the wear resistance of components used in natural resources industries, cemented carbide tiles are joined to engaging surfaces of the components....

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Ultrasonic Leakage Detection (ULD) as a maintenance and condition monitoring technique for freight rail airbrakes in cold weather conditions
DownloadSpring 2015
Freight rail airbrakes need improvement in reliability to reduce failures, which can lead to harm to the environment, loss of human life, and a negative impact on the economy. This research focuses on identifying the failures of airbrakes using a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) framework,...

Shear Behaviour of Concrete Slabs and Beams Reinforced with High-Performance ASTM A1035 Steel
Download2013-09-30
Lubell, Adam S., Desalegne, Admasu S.
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...

The Role of Sulfur Species in Establishing the Corrosion Reactions in Refinery Metallurgies
DownloadSpring 2016
This thesis is focused on the studying the role that model sulfur-containing molecules have in corrosion reactions on relevant metallurgies. This was done by using a design of experiments where a number of sulfur-based compounds were reacted with various metallurgies. The 8 model sulfur compounds...

Ultrasonic Characterization of Bitumen with Pressure and Temperature: Implications for seismic monitoring of the Grosmont Formation
DownloadFall 2018
The vastly untapped carbonate Grosmont Formation in north-eastern Alberta may hold in excess of a couple of hundred billion barrels initial volume of bitumen in place. Bitumen, an ultra-heavy hydrocarbon oil, possesses a density comparable to water, but a dynamic shear viscosity million times...

Traditionally in pipeline steels and welds, ultrasonic testing (UT) has been used for crack and/or flaw detection. The work presented in this Thesis explores the use of this technique to characterize the microstructure of pipe steels. Ultrasonic velocity calculations, for shear and longitudinal...

Spring 2020
ML80 and Grade 483 are heat treatable steels, produced by a quench and temper process, that are used in the oil and gas industry. The development of the microstructure during heat treatment is important to ensure that the correct properties are achieved for these steels. However, a real-time...

Ductile steel plate shear walls are an established lateral load resisting system. Past research indicates that cold-rolled infill panels less than 1 mm in thickness present one solution to an overstrength problem arising from selecting an infill panel thickness based on ease of welding and...
