Quantifying the Distribution of Rail Bending Stresses along the Track using Train-Mounted Deflection Measurements
DownloadSpring 2017
Heavy and frequent train loads generate large bending stresses in rail. These stresses contribute to the propagation of transverse fatigue defects, which are among the leading causes of broken rail derailments in North America. A thorough assessment of the rail structural condition requires...

Quantitative Risk Assessment of Natural and Cut Slopes: Measuring Uncertainty in the Estimated Risks and Proposed Framework for Developing Risk Evaluation Criteria
DownloadFall 2013
Understanding and limiting the risks inherent to natural and cut slopes are now recognized to be a priority in achieving an acceptable quality of life. Various methods of risk management that have been proposed in the last three decades have evolved into a general framework for landslide risk...

The Mildred Lake Settling Basin (MLSB) is the largest disposal site for mature fine tailings (MFT) at the Syncrude Canada Ltd oil sands plant. Since 1996, MFT densification in the MLSB has significantly accelerated due to microbial activity. Methane-producing microorganisms, known as methanogens,...
