Fall 2018
Geostatistics aims at applying statistics to quantitatively describe geological deposits and assess the uncertainty due to incomplete sampling. Strong assumptions are required regarding the location-independence of statistical parameters to construct numerical models with geostatistical tools....

Fall 2022
Evaluation of the thermal resistance of building envelope elements is essential for a reliable assessment of the thermal behaviour and energy efficiency of buildings. Energy codes continue to drive the building construction industry toward more stringent thermal performance standards. To reduce...

A Quantitative Assessment of Cost and Carbon Dioxide Emissions Associated with Industrialized Concrete Basements in Cold-climate Regions
DownloadFall 2024
Vecchio Castillo, Valeria Veronica
The building and construction industry aims to reduce its CO2 emissions to reach Net-Zero goals by the year 2050. However, the industry faces the challenge of a possible increase in its CO2 emission levels due to rapid global population growth. Consequently, researchers and practitioners have...

A quantitative evaluation of the impact of railway track characteristics on the magnitude of dynamic loads
DownloadFall 2024
Canada has one of the largest railway networks globally, with more than 48,000 route kilometers of track. The Canadian railway network is primarily a heavy freight railway network that highlights the importance of the railway industry for the Canadian economy and the requirement for its fast and...

Spring 2017
The railway networks in Canada traverse from coast to coast, and pass over diverse terrain with large stretches of very soft soils, including clay deposits and peat formations. The majority of these lines were constructed approximately 100 years ago. Railway loads have since increased...

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...

Fall 2012
Crane lift path planning is time-consuming, prone to errors, and requires the practitioners to have exceptional visualization abilities, in particular, as the construction site is congested and dynamically changing. This research presents a methodology based on robotics motion planning to...

A Robust Model for Integration of Sand-Arch Stability and Fractal Wormhole Network in CHOPS and post-CHOPS Process Simulation
DownloadSpring 2024
Cold heavy-oil production with sand (CHOPS) is a primary recovery process in unconsolidated heavy-oil reservoirs. The recovery factor typically ranges from 5% to 15% of the initial oil in place (OOIP). Approximately 90% of crude oil is left underground with considerable exploitation potential...

A Semantic-Driven Framework for Facilitating Reusability and Interoperability of Construction Simulation Modeling
DownloadFall 2012
This research describes a semantic-driven framework to facilitate reusability and interoperability of simulation and modeling of construction processes. An immense amount of knowledge of construction processes and simulation modeling is needed to develop construction simulation models. Knowledge...
