An integrated approach to assessing mobile crane mat requirements based on a novel approach to ground bearing pressure calculations and a redefining of crane mat selection and optimization
DownloadFall 2022
Modular construction is adopted to increase construction efficiency and curtail waste. The fortitude of modular construction is high-capacity mobile cranes, of which hydraulic and crawler cranes are the most widely used. With the surge in weight of modules, the mobile crane's ground bearing...

An Integrated 3D Safety-based Approach for the Design of Horizontal Curves using Reliability Analysis and LiDAR Data
DownloadSpring 2022
Safety-based design can be described as an approach in which safety is considered a core design input and the safety performance of proposed designs that follow this approach can be expected. Although current-day highway design guidelines are constantly updated to incorporate recent advances in...

An Improved Approach to Production Planning in Oil Sands Mining Through Detailed Analysis and Simulation of Cycle Times
DownloadFall 2018
The objective of this thesis is to develop, implement and verify a theoretical framework based on detailed analyses and simulation of truck and shovel cycle times in open pit mining, placing an emphasis on the hauling component of the cycle. The goal is to improve the generation of accurate and...

Massive hydraulic fracturing operations conducted in shale reservoirs create extensive fracture networks to enhance recovery of hydrocarbons from low permeability shale reservoirs. Fluid invasion into the shale matrix is identified as one of the possible mechanisms leading to low fracturing fluid...

The increasing demand for fossil energy and the decreasing trend of conventional resources have shifted the focus of industry towards unconventional resources including shale gas, shale oil, tight gas, tight oil, and coalbed methane. Recent advances in stimulation techniques, including horizontal...
