Spring 2023
When a photon experiences a change in momentum of any form, be it being absorbed or reflected from a surface, the photon will exert a force upon that material. This force is called the radiation pressure force. One way that we can harness this radiation pressure force is to couple optical and...

Developing Penetration Rate Prediction Models to Enhance the Productivity Prediction of Microtunneling Construction Projects
DownloadSpring 2023
Predicting the productivity of microtunnelling construction projects is challenging due to the inherent complexities of this trenchless excavation method. One of these complexities has to do with estimating the micro-tunnel boring machine penetration rate, given that it is subject to a number of...

Traditionally, multi-disciplinary modelling exercises involve one discipline mechanistically using the output from a black-box model developed by another discipline. To address this deficiency, the research uses techniques relatively new to the geotechnical community, such as System Dynamics (SD)...

Energy optimization of a residential building using occupancy prediction via sensor fusion and machine learning algorithms
DownloadFall 2023
Occupancy-based control systems for floor heating can lead to energy saving in a residential building. This study focuses on the energy consumption by space heating system in a half-duplex residential house located in Edmonton, Alberta. In the first part, a sensor fusion model was designed to...

Forensic Schedule Information Modeling for Analysis of Time Claims in Construction Projects
DownloadFall 2019
A review of state-of-the-art research and practice has revealed that while the incidence of claims in the construction industry is increasing, current analysis practices are failing to accurately analyze and evaluate contemporaneous project data. The most common types of construction disputes...

Reclamation of slurry materials such as mine tailings requires effective management of consolidation-induced water release in the long-term. This is particularly challenging for flocculated or thickened tailings which require excessive time to fully consolidate to the final landform due to their...
