A framework for offsite construction manufacturing process improvement through digitalization and automated real-time data collection
DownloadFall 2022
This thesis proposes methods to apply real-time data to improve manufacturing operations in offsite construction using a combination of tools such as simulation, machine learning, and exploratory data analysis. These methods are applied to increase flexibility in operations and digitalize the...

Applying Machine Learning Techniques to Improving Truck Productivity Prediction Accuracy at Mine Sites
DownloadFall 2023
In oil sands mining, off-the-road trucks play a leading role in transporting bulk materials (ores and waste). The productivity of truck haulage (also referred to as truck productivity), defined as the truck payload per unit time in each truck haulage cycle, is of great interest to the mining...

Development and Applications of Mechanics- and Data-based Capacity Models for Intact/Corroded Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders
DownloadFall 2022
Prestressed concrete (PC) highway bridges represent an integral part of the transportation network and contribute significantly to socio-economic development. However, highway bridges are susceptible to Deterioration and thus exhibit structural deficiency after years of service, especially in the...

Effect of Purge Gas Flow Rate and Oxygen Impurity on Heel build-up and Prediction of Heel build-up Using Machine Learning
DownloadFall 2021
Heel buildup, i.e., the accumulation of non-desorbed/non-desorbable adsorbates and their by-products on an adsorbent, during cyclic adsorption/regeneration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) onto activated carbon decreases its adsorption capacity and lifetime. In this this study, the effect of...

A rock burst refers to a sudden collapse and outburst of rocks mostly from the surface of underground excavations. As one of the most serious geological disasters, rock bursts have killed hundreds of miners and injured more. A problem that remains to be solved in rock engineering is to predict an...
