Fall 2019
An evaluation of the resistance of two different X70 pipeline steels to hydrogen-induced cracking in severe (pH 2.7 and 1 atm H2S) and intermediate (pH 5.5 and 1 atm H2S) sour service conditions was undertaken. The two steels used in this work, X70-X and X70-B, were selected based on their...

Extracting and Integrating Industrial Construction Steel Trade Data in ill-formed BIM Models
DownloadFall 2017
Oil and gas are known for their huge-size and complex projects that consist of multiple trades’ subprojects such as concrete, steel, and piping. These subprojects are executed within a confined area during a limited time frame. This requires careful planning and coordination between these...

Coped beams are susceptible to fatigue cracking in the web at the cope radius when subjected to tension in the coped region. Use of an adhesively bonded composite patch over the crack can reduce the stress concentration and delay further crack growth. This report contains the results of a...

Casing pipes used in sour service are prone to two forms of failure: hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) and sulfide stress cracking (SSC). The objective of this thesis is to investigate the resistance of L80 ERW and Seamless steel pipe, with five different chemical compositions, to both HIC and SSC....

The formation of bainite is the most studied and the most debated phase transformation in steels, with research spanning almost a century. With two theories of transformation, the transformation mechanism of bainite is still a disputed subject among physical metallurgists. Upper bainite and lower...

Modeling of the Effect of Run-out Table Cooling on the Microstructure of a Thick Walled X70 Skelp
DownloadSpring 2018
This thesis presents work performed to model and measure the effect of run-out table cooling on a thick walled X70 steel. During run-out table cooling, the steel undergoes several phase transformations that will affect its microstructure, and thus, its mechanical properties. To predict the steel...

Optimization techniques, in conjunction with a finite element thermal model, are used in this thesis to optimize the temperature profile (i.e. cooling rate and coiling temperature) of a steel skelp during laminar cooling. Optimization parameters include skelp velocity, laminar cooling bank...

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...

The effects of soil and plant nutrients on the oviposition preference, larval performance and spatial dynamics of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus and its parasitoids
DownloadFall 2010
The effects of nitrogen and sulfur fertilization on the oviposition, feeding preferences, and larval performance of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Marsham) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Brassica napus L. were examined in a series of laboratory experiments. The associations between C. obstrictus...

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...
