Finite Element Analysis Model for Determination of In-situ and Mining Induced Stresses as a Function of Two Different Mining Methods Used at Diavik Diamond Mine
DownloadFall 2016
One of the essential components of the underground excavation design process, which directly influences the performance and stability of underground constructions, is knowledge of the in-situ and mining-induced stress. Knowing the magnitudes and directions of these stresses can help determine...

FINITE ELEMENT CHARACTERIZATION OF THE BEHAVIOUR OF MASONRY INFILL SHEAR WALLS WITH AND WITHOUT OPENINGS
DownloadFall 2014
The current design practice is to ignore the interaction between masonry infill walls and containing frames due to the inadequate and incomplete guidance in current codes and standards. Most investigations on the behaviour of masonry infill shear walls were performed on scaled specimens and...

Finite Element Modeling and Vibration Simulation of a 5-MW 61.5-Meter Composite Wind Turbine Blade for Debonding Damage Inference
DownloadFall 2023
The renewable and clean energy industry highly relies on wind turbine blades (WTBs) to generate electricity from wind. However, WTBs can suffer from a variety of damage, including spar cap-shear web debonding, which can lead to crack initiation and propagation, and in turn, cause wind turbine...

Finite Element-based Parametric and Probabilistic Analysis of Structural Deterioration in Corroded Pre-stressed Concrete Girders
DownloadFall 2020
Deterioration of concrete structures caused by corrosion have caused worldwide concerns especially for pre-stressed concrete (PC) structures because of their extensive use in important infrastructure, such as highway bridges. PC girders that have been in service for a long time in natural...

Finite Element-based Stress Intensity Factor Estimation for Fatigue Crack Growth Simulation and Stochastic Filtering-based Fatigue Crack Growth Prediction of Pipelines
DownloadSpring 2022
Fatigue cracking is one of the major integrity threats to oil and gas pipelines. Having a reliable trajectory of fatigue crack growth once detected is very crucial for decision making regarding integrity threat management. In-line Inspection (ILI) tools, and other non-destructive methods are used...

Flexural and Shear Response of Deteriorated Prestressed Concrete Girders Taken from a Decommissioned Bridge in Alberta
DownloadFall 2021
Prestressed concrete (PC) bridges are a major component of North America’s transportation network. As this network ages, the response of deteriorated PC bridge girders is of interest since rehabilitation and repairs are constrained by limited infrastructure budgets. Bridges are often evaluated...

Spring 2017
Operations with drilling fluids require multiple performance requirements. Among those, fluid loss issue is a very severe problem that is encountered in many drilling operations. Rheological and transport properties of drilling muds in porous media control the fluid loss behavior in reservoir...
