Developing Models for Estimating Winter Road Weather and Surface Conditions–An Empirical Investigation
DownloadSpring 2019
Inclement weather poses a threat to road safety and mobility for motorists in cold regions during winter. To facilitate more efficient winter maintenance decision support and reduce weather-related collisions, many transportation agencies have adopted one of the most critical highway...

Developing Penetration Rate Prediction Models to Enhance the Productivity Prediction of Microtunneling Construction Projects
DownloadSpring 2023
Predicting the productivity of microtunnelling construction projects is challenging due to the inherent complexities of this trenchless excavation method. One of these complexities has to do with estimating the micro-tunnel boring machine penetration rate, given that it is subject to a number of...

Developing Risk Breakdown Matrix for Onshore Wind Farm Projects Using Fuzzy Case-Based Reasoning
DownloadSpring 2021
Many countries have invested in the development of renewable energy projects, particularly onshore and offshore wind farm projects because of their low adverse environmental impact on the environment. However, onshore and offshore wind farm projects are novel types of projects in most countries...

Development and Application of BowTie Risk Assessment Methodology for Carbon Geological Storage Projects
DownloadFall 2014
The objective of this research is to develop a framework for risk assessment of CO2 geological storage projects. This is achieved using the BowTie approach as a framework for capturing the failure of CO2 geological storage, and using BowTie approach to combine different failure mechanisms such as...

Development and application of Fenton and UV-Fenton processes at natural pH using chelating agents for the treatment of oil sands process-affected water
DownloadFall 2016
The increasing amount of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW), its high toxicity towards aquatic organisms due to naphthenic acids (NAs) and other organics, and the zero discharge practice of the oil sands industry urge researchers to seek effective approaches for its treatment. Advanced...

Development and Application of Hydraulic Fracturing Simulation for Analysis of Fracture Interference and Distributed Acoustic Sensing Characterization
DownloadFall 2023
Low-frequency distributed acoustic sensing (LF-DAS) is one of the promising diagnostic techniques to detect and characterize hydraulic fractures. LF-DAS signals can capture fracture hits and the strain field around the hydraulic fracture and provide continuous monitoring of fracture geometry and...

Spring 2014
Oil sand reservoirs play an important role in the economy of Canada due to their significant recoverable reserves. Due to the high viscosity of the oil in these reservoirs, conventional methods cannot be used for production. The steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) method is an efficient way of...

Development and Applications of Mechanics- and Data-based Capacity Models for Intact/Corroded Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders
DownloadFall 2022
Prestressed concrete (PC) highway bridges represent an integral part of the transportation network and contribute significantly to socio-economic development. However, highway bridges are susceptible to Deterioration and thus exhibit structural deficiency after years of service, especially in the...

Development and Evaluation of Model-Based Adaptive Signal Control for Congested Arterial Traffic
DownloadFall 2015
Under congested conditions, the road traffic states of different arterial links will interact with each other; therefore, it is necessary to understand the behavior of traffic corridors and to investigate corridor-wide traffic coordinated control strategies. In order to achieve this, traffic flow...
