Application of ground-based InSAR for rock slope monitoring and site assessment at the Checkerboard Creek Rock Slope
DownloadFall 2020
In recent years ground-based, interferometric, synthetic aperture radar (GB-InSAR) has been successfully implemented for purposes of monitoring displacements of both natural and man-made slopes. GB-InSAR monitoring has also provided detailed, spatially continuous, and high temporal frequency...

Application of machine learning techniques to predict the unconfined compressive strength of sustainable cementitious materials used in the mining industry
DownloadFall 2023
Balasooriya Arachchilage, Chathuranga S J
Various forms of cementitious materials, including shotcrete, grouts, and cemented paste backfill (CPB), are made with ordinary Portland cement (OPC). They are widely used for both underground and surface mining applications. However, due to the high carbon footprint of OPC production, the mining...

Application of Machine Learning to Automate Classification and Information Extraction in Industrial Construction Documents
DownloadSpring 2022
Industrial construction projects are usually mega-projects that involve millions of labour person-hours and generate hundreds of thousands of documents. Construction documents represent a vital source of information and knowledge regarding the project scope. Documents come in different types and...

Application of New Modelling Techniques to Perform Observational Before-After Safety Evaluations
DownloadFall 2015
Speeding is the number one road safety problem in many countries around the world. Speeding contributes to as many as one third of all fatal crashes, and is considered an aggravating factor in crash severity. Because of the adverse consequences of speeding, speed management is considered to be...

Application of Ozone and Peroxone Processes for Naphthenic Acids Degradation in Oil Sands Process-Affected Water: Characterization of Water Before and After Treatment
DownloadFall 2017
Appling ozone (O3) with high doses (>100 mg/L) to remove naphthenic acids (NAs) from oil sands process-affected water (OSPW); limits its application and feasibility in the OSPW remediation. To decrease the required doses and their associated costs, this study examined the application of ozone...
