An Experimental and Numerical Study on Complex Behaviour of Cement Paste under SAGD Operating Conditions
DownloadSpring 2020
During the exploration stage for oil sands mining or in situ thermal projects, many wells are drilled to recover core for resource assessment: these wells are referred to as stratigraphic wells. These stratigraphic wells are subsequently plugged with either thermal or non-thermal quality cement...

Changing Landscape Coatings for Bioactive Bone Fixation Implants via Flame Spray Deposition
DownloadFall 2013
Owing to the bio-inert nature of load-bearing alloys and the brittle nature of bioactive materials there is a need to develop a composite bioactive material suitable for load-bearing applications. To fulfill this need, a new composite coating of a load-bearing alloy and a resorbable bioactive...

Severe localized corrosion was found throughout an aeration tank of a modular wastewater treatment plant. Specifically, pitting, crevice corrosion, galvanic corrosion, and intergranular corrosion (IGC) were observed on the 5000 and 6000 series aluminum alloys used in the tank’s construction. One...

Bone defects are treated with bone grafts, replacing damaged or diseased bone tissue with either natural bone or bone substitutes. Synthetic graft materials, particularly bioactive glasses, have been developed to overcome the immunological and structural limitations of natural bone grafts....

Hand injuries, due to impact, are common workplace injuries. Many work gloves afford impact protection through design of add-on components known as bumpers. Glove design criteria are complex (e.g., limitations from human factors, dexterity, use case, hand size variability) and commercial bumpers...

Design, Deployment, Performance and Assessment of Downhole and Near Surface Monitoring Technology for Geological CO2 Storage
DownloadSpring 2012
Early carbon storage research and development efforts in Canada and elsewhere began with “value-added” projects such as CO2-enhanced oil recovery or CO2 enhanced coalbed methane, where the increase in production helps to offset the costs of CO2 and of its potential long-term storage. These...

Evaluating the Behaviour of Rock Discontinuities in Direct Shear Under Constant Normal Load and Constant Normal Stiffness Boundary Conditions Using Additive Manufacturing Technology
DownloadFall 2021
The inherent heterogeneity of natural rock and the variance in the surface roughness of discontinuities limit the repeatability of rock joint sampling and testing. One way to overcome this challenge is by using additive manufacturing (AM) techniques. AM, also referred to as 3D printing, has shown...

Spring 2020
An effective Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) process requires thermal and hydraulic communication to be established between the injection and the production wells during the start-up operation. To achieve inter-well communication, the conventional steam circulation start-up operations...

Due to the natural heterogeneity of rock there exists a large variance between samples in geomechanical engineering testing. Additionally, the number of samples available for testing that meet the screening requirements for grain size, mineralogy, bedding orientation and moisture content can...
