A Visibility and Safety Assessment of Urban Intersection Sight Distance using mobile LiDAR Data
DownloadFall 2021
This thesis focuses on intersection sight distance design, which is an extremely critical element in urban road design. Research has shown that providing adequate sight distance contributes to safe operation at intersections. Conversely, a restricted sight distance impacts drivers’ fields of...

In the oil sands industry alone a single ultra-class shovel tip can lose more than 35 kg of steel mass in one operating day. When the downtime to change a set of GET on a shovel is performed frequently, it can add up to significant loss in shovel availability, not to mention the loss of tip,...

Accelerating Polymer Degradation to Explore Potential Long Term Geotechnical Behaviour of Oil Sands Fine Tailings
DownloadFall 2021
Many tailings’ technologies used in the Athabasca oil sands require the use of chemical amendments such as synthetic flocculants to densify tailings by releasing water. It is anticipated that the synthetic flocculants will eventually degrade with time leaving only a mineral soil structure behind....

Accounting for non-stationarity via hyper-dimensional translation of the domain in geostatistical modeling
DownloadFall 2009
Medium and short term mine planning require models of mineral deposits that account for internal geological structures that permit scheduling of mine production at a weekly and monthly production periods. Modified kriging estimation techniques are used for accounting for such geologic structures....

Activation of Delayed and Fluid Petroleum Coke for the Adsorption and Removal of Naphthenic Acids from Oil Sands Tailings Pond Water
DownloadSpring 2011
Oil sands companies produce substantial quantities of tailings known to contain high concentrations of dissolved organic by-products. The use of petroleum coke was proposed as a potential adsorbent for organic contaminant removal from tailings pond water. Physical activation was used to create a...
