Corrosivity and Thermal Stability of Biocrude Oil for Co-Processing in FCC Feedlines: An Investigation and Risk Assessment
DownloadSpring 2023
Fast pyrolysis bio-oil is a promising renewable energy source derived from biomass. However, its high corrosivity and poor thermal stability have limited its widespread use as a drop-in fuel. One promising method for transforming low-quality biocrudes into drop-in fuels is co-processing with...

Design and Implementation of Chipless RFID-Based Monitoring Sensor System for Coated Metallic Structures' Integrity
DownloadFall 2020
This thesis work presents structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques for coated-metallic structures based on Chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The structures of interest for this study include pipelines for crude oil transportation and storage tanks (or terminals). The...

It has become common for steel fabricators to find torsional loads included in the design documents of many industrial steel structures. These loads arise in wide-flange beam-to-column moment connections when the beam is subject to weak axis bending, which in turn, is transferred to the column as...

Ahmed, E., Henein, H., Qureshi, A., Liu, J.
Downhole tools made of dissolvable alloys (DAs) are getting more attractive, especially with the difficulties that arise from drilling wellbores with longer lateral distances. To date, most of the DAs are based on Al alloys (AAs) or Mg alloys, which offer undesirable mechanical properties. This...

Development of Finite Element Modeling and Bayesian Parameter Estimation Strategies for Corroded RC Bridges towards Probabilistic Seismic Performance Assessment
DownloadFall 2022
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures, such as RC bridges, are designed to remain safe and functional for their lifetime, during which the impacts of aging may result in performance degradation. Steel bar corrosion is one of the most common causes of structural performance degradation in RC...

The most common detrimental processes that lead to reduction in durability in reinforced concrete elements are shrinkage, sulphate attack and chloride attack. Shrinkage is a dimensional instability chiefly caused by a loss of moisture in the hydrating cement paste. Soluble sulphate ions take part...
