Spring 2016
Renewal of damaged and worn pipes is becoming a significant maintenance concern for municipalities in North America as many collection systems (water and wastewater underground infrastructure) have reached beyond the ends of their service lives. Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) rehabilitation is one of...

Finite Element Model of the Thermal Profile During Submerged Arc Welding with One and Two Electrodes
DownloadFall 2016
The submerged-arc welding (SAW) process is used extensively in the manufacturing of pipes. The heat flow introduced by the welding operation has a significant impact on the properties of both the weld metal and the heat affected zone (HAZ). The work presented in this thesis aims to develop a...

Force spectroscopy of the frameshift signal from West Nile virus reveals multiple folding pathways and structural heterogeneity
DownloadSpring 2019
Programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) represents an important mechanism for translational genetic recoding, especially in viruses. The components of a PRF stimulator have been well characterized, though accounting for the variation in the frameshift stimulating efficiency has thus far been...

Spring 2010
Many geological deposits contain nonlinear anisotropic features such as veins, channels, folds or local changes in orientation; numerical property modeling must account for these features to be reliable and predictive. This work incorporates locally varying anisotropy into inverse distance...

Improving the Efficiency, Productivity, and Cost-Effectiveness of Modular Design and Construction Processes
DownloadSpring 2012
This thesis provides a methodology to incorporate building information modeling (BIM), lean construction, and simulation modelling into a cohesive package in the context of modular manufacturing. BIM was used to construct a three dimensional model from which the wall and object properties were...

Rodriguez-de la Torre, Rhamid Hortensia
Since oil and gas production from conventional fields is decreasing, the produc-tion of unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs is becoming imperative, where geo-mechanical responses play an important role. This research presents a methodology that starts exploring the inclusion of geomechanics in...

Incorporating the effects of complex dynamic interactions in the construction decision making process
DownloadFall 2011
Construction projects involve complex interactions among operational components such as labour, materials and equipment and context or organizational components such as worker morale and organizational policies. Interactions among different components of construction projects form byzantine...

Integrated Production Planning and Control System for Prefabrication of Panelized Construction for Residential Building
DownloadFall 2016
Panelized construction has been recognized as a promising approach to residential construction. However, its full potential in terms of productivity improvement has not yet been realized due to the absence of an automated production planning and control system. This research thus conceives an...
