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...

Enhanced Model Tree Application Framework for Developing Interpretable AI in Construction Engineering
DownloadFall 2020
The construction industry has been and continues to be overflown with data. Scholars have no problems dealing with this phenomenon through the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) methods like neural networks or random forests. However, when the time comes to practical application, the...

Examining Historical Climate with Respect to Future Permafrost and Engineering Design: An Analysis of Common Assumptions and Calculations
DownloadFall 2012
This paper examines changes in climate with respect to permafrost and engineering design in Arctic regions. Current understanding of climate changes, predictive modeling, and climate data were studied. Inconsistencies and differences were noted, discussed, and evaluated using comparisons of the...
