Risk and Uncertainty in Oil Sands Upland Reclamation: Best Management Practices within the Context of Climate Change
Download2014
The focus of most climate change impact studies to date is on changes related to mean climate conditions. In terms of climate model output, these changes are more robust than changes in climate variability, the latter of which has considerably greater uncertainty. By concentrating on climate...

Nadadoor Srinivasan, Venkat R.
Biological engineering is a domain of study that involves applying known engineering principles to biological systems. Qualitative studies in the field of biology have undergone tremendous advancements in the last two decades but quantitation is still in its early stages due to various...

Bindiganavile, V.S., Lubell, A.S., Shoaib, A.
Hooked end steel fibers were included between 0~1% by volume to provide enhanced shear resistance to three different types of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) namely, a regular concrete mix, a lightweight aggregate mix and a high strength mix. The test results at the material scale showed a...

Shear Behaviour of Concrete Slabs and Beams Reinforced with High-Performance ASTM A1035 Steel
Download2013-09-30
Lubell, Adam S., Desalegne, Admasu S.
High-performance steel bars manufactured to conform to ASTM A1035-11 have different metallurgy and microstructure than conventional reinforcing steel. These changes result in an effective yield strength significantly higher than conventional ASTM A615 steel while also being less susceptible to...

Zheng, Jie, Li, Haoyang, Hogan, James D.
The strain-rate-dependent tensile response of a commercial alumina ceramic (CeramTec 98% alumina) is investigated by experimental and modeling methods. The experiments at different loading rates are carried out on a standard MTS machine and a modified split-Hopkinson pressure bar system with...

Christiansson, R., Martin, C. D., Kaiser, P. K.
Abstract: When the stress-induced risks to a projects warrant it, in situ stress must be measured. However, as the stress-induced risks increase, i.e.. the stress magnitudes approach the rock mass strength, the confidence in commonly used stress measurement techniques decrease. The design of...

System modeling and controller designs for a Peltier-based thermal device in microfluidic application
DownloadSpring 2010
A custom-made Peltier-based thermal device is designed to perform miniaturized bio-molecular reactions in a microfluidic platform for medical diagnostic tests, especially the polymerase chain reaction for DNA amplification. The cascaded two-stage device is first approximated by multiple local...
