Poor design of indoor architectural spaces can contribute to an increased risk of falling for older adults. Thus, this research aims to provide an architectural design assessment system to integrate state-of-the-art evidence-based research into an assessment process by which to evaluate the risk...

Oil sands process water (OSPW) is a highly complex mixture that contains sand, silt, clay, dissolved salts, heavy metals and a wide range of organic compounds such as naphthenic acids (NAs) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). To effectively manage water during operations and support reclamation...

Compact facility designs and retro-fitting of facilities that involve heavy lifts are often performed in congested areas. Tight schedules increase the requirement to provide detailed heavy lift analysis. The planning of every aspect of a critical lift operation is essential. Managing the behavior...

Sinkholes are frequently reported around the world, and soil erosion around defective sewer pipe is found to be one of the possible cause of sinkholes. As water infiltrates through the defect in a pipe, soil can be washed into the pipe leading to a cavity or even sinkhole formation. Besides,...

This thesis expands previous research on operating speed models by developing models for tangent segments in an urban road environment. The thesis explored the relationships between operating speeds and several road features which have not been previously investigated. Typically, operating speed...
