Spring 2014
Mining haul trucks are operated on different ground conditions subjected to adverse shock loading, creating the need to give more attention to the truck components like suspension, tire, and the operating ground. Extensive experimental research has been done on these components at scale. In...

An Experimental and Numerical Study on Complex Behaviour of Cement Paste under SAGD Operating Conditions
DownloadSpring 2020
During the exploration stage for oil sands mining or in situ thermal projects, many wells are drilled to recover core for resource assessment: these wells are referred to as stratigraphic wells. These stratigraphic wells are subsequently plugged with either thermal or non-thermal quality cement...

Canada has the 7th largest road network in the world with a total of 1.13 million kilometers (40% paved and 60% unpaved). Rise in traffic volumes, increased vehicle axle loading, extremely low air temperatures and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles have resulted in decreased performance of the asphalt...

Effect of Cellulose Nanocrystal Particles on Rheology, Transport and Mechanical Properties of Oil Well Cement Systems
DownloadSpring 2018
The increase in oil consumption during the past few decades, coupled with oil/gas extraction from shale in the recent years has increased drilling and cementing demands. Well cementing operation is one of the most crucial and important steps in any well completion. However, since it takes place...

The most common detrimental processes that lead to reduction in durability in reinforced concrete elements are shrinkage, sulphate attack and chloride attack. Shrinkage is a dimensional instability chiefly caused by a loss of moisture in the hydrating cement paste. Soluble sulphate ions take part...

Evaluation of Mechanical Performance of Asphalt Emulsion Stabilized Base Course Using Asphaltenes or Cement
DownloadFall 2021
Civilization has become highly reliant on the road industry in recent years for both commercial and personal purposes. A typical road's function is to promote traffic flow comfortably and safely. The pavement is a structure made up of natural ground with varying layers on top that can distribute...

Experimental Study on Effect of hydrophobicity on Polymer Conformations, Rheology and Flow in Porous Media
DownloadFall 2023
Typically, polymer screening for enhanced oil recovery operations is done based on viscosity, viscosity dependent molecular weight correlations, and concentration. However, direct measurement of molecular weight and Molecular Weight Distribution (MWD) along with the other conformational...

Impact of Suspended Cuttings on Drilling Fluid Rheology and Hole Cleaning Capacity in Horizontal Directional Drilling
DownloadFall 2020
Trenchless technologies are a family of techniques to install or rehabilitate conduits under the ground without conventional open excavation processes. Among them, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is one of the most popular methods for installation of pipelines under surface obstacles, due...
