Incorporating climate change uncertainty into transportation infrastructure investment decisions
DownloadFall 2019
The Mackenzie River is a historically important transportation corridor of the Northwest Territories, allowing for barge freight transport to remote communities throughout its length. However, more recently, climate change has affected the duration of the Mackenzie River’s navigational season,...

Crane lift path planning is time-consuming, prone to errors, and requires the practitioners to have exceptional visualization abilities, in particular, as the construction site is congested and dynamically changing. This research presents a methodology based on robotics motion planning to...

Extended shear tab connections are efficient for both fabrication and erection where a beam would otherwise need to be coped to clear the flanges of the supporting member, and are therefore used extensively in industry. Stability issues can arise as the plate becomes longer and more slender, as...

An Ecological Habitus on the oilfield? Environmental concerns of oilsands workers and their lifestyle social practices.
DownloadFall 2018
In this case study research I interviewed direct employees of oilsands mines in Northern Alberta about their environmental concerns, how their concerns translate into their day-to-day lives, how they think about climate change, green energy technologies, and a world beyond oil use. I use the...

Examining Historical Climate with Respect to Future Permafrost and Engineering Design: An Analysis of Common Assumptions and Calculations
DownloadFall 2012
This paper examines changes in climate with respect to permafrost and engineering design in Arctic regions. Current understanding of climate changes, predictive modeling, and climate data were studied. Inconsistencies and differences were noted, discussed, and evaluated using comparisons of the...

Investigation of Sanding around Water Injector Wells in Unconsolidated and Weakly-Consolidated Sand Reservoir under Water Hammer Pressure Pulsing
DownloadSpring 2018
This research is focused on massive sand production around injector wells immediately after well shut-in events. Sand production in some water injector wells has been reported to be catastrophic, massive and always occurring after an unplanned shut-in. High pore pressures around injectors,...

Talar collapse results in incongruity of the ankle joint, resulting in pain, stiffness, and disability. In the past, standard treatment has been surgical fusion or total ankle arthroplasty. These treatments can result in a loss of motion and function of the foot, as well as pseudarthrosis. A...
