A dynamic water balance model for drought management: A case study of the Invitational Drought Tournament
DownloadFall 2013
System dynamics modelling provides an effective approach for water management, as shown in this thesis, using Agriculture Canada’s Invitational Drought Tournament (IDT) as a case study. The objectives of the research are to simulate basin-scale management of the fictitious Western Canadian “Oxbow...

Spring 2019
This thesis aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using System Dynamics (SD) techniques to develop a transparent, open-source and reproducible model capable of simulating long-term soil water dynamics in a tailings-cap system subject to upward flux from a consolidating tailings substrate. The...

Hybrid Fuzzy System Dynamics Modeling of Multi Factor Productivity of Construction Activities
DownloadSpring 2018
Productivity plays a key role in the successful delivery of construction projects, and it has long been a major research interest within the construction engineering domain. Previous research on the identification of factors influencing productivity often focused on labour intensive activities...
