Pipelines are considered one of the most efficient ways of transferring oil and gas from the extraction sites to refineries, and finally to consumers. However, leakage or loss of containment of pipelines in the transmitting grid can be caused by several factors such as overpressure, cracking, and...

Reliability Assessment for Loadbearing Concrete Masonry Walls Subjected to Gravity and Lateral Loads
DownloadFall 2023
The current Canadian standard for masonry structures design (CSA S304-14) is based on a Limit-State Design (LSD) philosophy, incorporating masonry-specific material strength reduction factors initially calibrated in the 1980s. These factors were last updated in 2014, prompted by changes in the...

Fatigue assessments have been carried out predominantly with quasi-deterministic approaches, such as the use of S–N curves. However, both the loading and the resistance of fatigue prone components are subjected to significant uncertainties. Consequently, a prediction of the remaining fatigue life...

Removal of model waste-water bacteria by magnetite in water and waste-water treatment processes
DownloadFall 2012
Conventional disinfection processes used for water and waste-water treatment such as chlorination, and ozonation produce disinfection by products which are carcinogenic. The use of magnetite as an alternative method of removing pathogenic microorganisms from the water streams was proposed as it...

Removal of Organic and Inorganic Contaminants from Oil Sands Tailings using Carbon Based Adsorbents and Native Sediment
DownloadFall 2013
The extraction and refinement of oil sands bitumen produces substantial quantities of liquid tailings and solid coke. Tailings contain metals and naphthenic acids, which require remediation before mine closure. Adsorption is a potential remediation technique which may reuse stockpiled petroleum...
