Evaluating degraded ballast and track geometry variability along a Canadian freight railroad through ballast maintenance records and ground-penetrating radar
DownloadSpring 2018
The majority of track comprising Canadaâs large railway network is constructed on ballasted foundations. As such, the accumulation of fines within the void space between the ballast aggregate, referred to as ballast degradation, is considered to be a significant factor contributing to the...

Evaluating Long-term Trends and Variations in Daily and Extreme Precipitation Indices over Western Canada
DownloadFall 2012
Continuous and long weather records are essential to assess possible long-term, hydrologic/climatic changes at local and regional scales by applying appropriate statistical analysis on daily climate data that may require data quality control, adjustments or gap filling of missing data. In this...

Fall 2010
This study assesses the suitability of four sectional shear methods for predicting the shear capacity of reinforced concrete members which do not comply with S6-06 Section 14 stirrup spacing and area requirements. The results of the evaluations indicate that the sectional shear provisions in...

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...

Evaluating the Biogeochemical and Geotechnical Behavior of Oil Sands Tailings in Pit Lakes and Mitigating Pit Lake Turbidity with Biofilms
DownloadFall 2023
Permanent storage and reclamation of oil sands mine waste (fluid fine tailings, FFT) in pit lakes has been proposed by industry. Pit lakes are considered best practice in terms of geotechnical stability, however, there are numerous challenges and knowledge gaps surrounding this proposed oil sands...

Evaluating the Performance of Activated Carbon, Polymeric, and Zeolite Adsorbents for Volatile Organic Compounds Control
DownloadFall 2018
Activated carbon, zeolites, and polymeric adsorbents are commonly used adsorbents to remove Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial gas streams. To better understand of adsorbents performance for the removal of VOCs, adsorption capacity, cumulative heel and the influence of water vapor...

Evaluating the Performance of Tire- Derived Aggregate in the Leachate Collection Systems of Alberta Landfills
DownloadSpring 2016
The application of tire-derived aggregates as drainage media in leachate collection systems is an important component for recovery and recycling of waste tires. However, there are concerns that tire-derived aggregates may not perform adequately because of rapid clogging that is attributed to...

Evaluating the Potential of CO2 Foam and CO2 Polymer Enhanced Foam for Heavy Oil Recovery in Fractured Reservoirs: Pore-Scale and Core-Scale Studies
DownloadSpring 2017
Besides oil-sand reserves that should be recovered by thermal recovery methods, there are significant reserves of conventional light to heavy crude oil in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) that can be also recovered by non-thermal processes. Several carbonate reservoirs have undergone...

Evaluating the Safety Effects of Driver Feedback Signs and Citywide Implementation Strategies
DownloadSpring 2020
Speeding is a leading factor that contributes to about one-third of all fatal collisions. To improve drivers’ compliance with speeds, various passive/active countermeasures have been adopted by municipalities around the world. A Driver Feedback Sign (DFS) is one such countermeasure as it...
