Design Evaluation and Optimization of School Buildings Using Artificial Intelligent Approaches
DownloadSpring 2013
School buildings are one of the most important educational and learning environments and the appropriate design of these spaces has a significant impact in enhancing both students’ and teachers’ performance, comfort and satisfaction. As a result, the preliminary design evaluation and optimization...

Spring 2018
It has become common for steel fabricators to find torsional loads included in the design documents of many industrial steel structures. These loads arise in wide-flange beam-to-column moment connections when the beam is subject to weak axis bending, which in turn, is transferred to the column as...

Design of Steel Plate Shear Wall Systems with Explicit Consideration of Drift Demands and Frame Action
DownloadSpring 2017
This research presents a performance-based design procedure for steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems with explicit consideration of plastic mechanisms, inelastic drift demands and frame actions. The proposed design procedure generally adopts the philosophy of a recently developed...

Spring 2018
In flat roof solar PV projects, design is one of the most important and challenging processes. PV design is challenging in that it requires various aspects to be considered (such as weather, location, purpose of use), and standard guidelines for building a solar PV system are not currently...

Design, Deployment, Performance and Assessment of Downhole and Near Surface Monitoring Technology for Geological CO2 Storage
DownloadSpring 2012
Early carbon storage research and development efforts in Canada and elsewhere began with “value-added” projects such as CO2-enhanced oil recovery or CO2 enhanced coalbed methane, where the increase in production helps to offset the costs of CO2 and of its potential long-term storage. These...

Design, Deployment, Performance and Baseline Data Assessment of Surface Tiltmeter Array Technology in Aquistore Geologic CO2 Storage Project
DownloadSpring 2016
Tiltmeters have been widely applied in the engineering field for precise angle measurement. The recent adoption of surface tiltmeter array in monitoring geologic CO2 storage has further expanded the reach of this technology. During reservoir surveillance, tiltmeter array detects sub-millimeter...

Fall 2016
The main purpose of this study was creating a finite element model with bio-realistic geometry of ligaments in the cervical spine region. A ligamentous finite element model was created that allows the study of the stress distribution on ligaments under six different moments: flexion, extension,...
