Updated understanding of landslides kinematics along the Thompson River Valley using satellite InSAR
DownloadFall 2022
Geohazards threaten human’s well-being in many different ways. Landslide, as a common geohazard in both natural and anthropogenic man-made features all around the world, generally, damage many infrastructures, nature balance, animal habitat and cause even loss of lives for many creatures as well...

Unsaturated soil property functions are necessary for numerical modeling of geotechnical engineering problems including transient seepage or contaminant transport involving unsaturated soils such as tailings or mine wastes. The accuracy of the input of material properties significantly influences...

Unraveling the relationship between trip chaining and mode choice using Structural Equation Models
DownloadSpring 2010
Trip chaining and mode choice are two important travel behavior decisions in activity-based travel demand modeling system. The hierarchy of these two decisions influences model’s predictive capability and policy sensitivity. This thesis is aimed at investigating the hierarchical relationship...

Understanding the Role of Amphiphilic Chemical Additives in Enhanced Oil Recovery from Molecular Perspectives
DownloadFall 2022
Carefully designed chemical formulas are often applied in the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process. Understanding the molecular distribution and working mechanism of each component can provide theoretical guidance in designing chemical formulas with desired functionalities. In this dissertation,...

Understanding and Improving Input for Quantitative Risk Analysis in the Construction Industry
DownloadFall 2013
Risk analysis in the construction industry involves identifying risk events that could potentially affect a project and its delivery, quantifying those risks, and developing mitigation strategies to enhance project success. This thesis aims to improve the process of risk analysis through the...
