Investigation on the Differences in the Mechanical Properties of Fresh, Frozen, and Vitrified Porcine Menisci
DownloadFall 2020
The medial and lateral menisci are two semilunar-shaped fibrocartilaginous tissues in the knee that serve multiple important biomechnical functions. While removal of the menisci leads to progressive degenerative changes in the knee, meniscal transplantation is explored to restore normal knee...

Fall 2019
Lateral–torsional buckling is a stability-related failure mode of unbraced or insufficiently braced flexural members. In recent years, several concerns have been raised regarding the adequacy of the Canadian steel design standard, CSA S16-14, in characterising the lateral–torsional buckling...

Spring 2015
The current design provisions (2006 edition of CSA-S6) for horizontally curved steel I-girders in the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code are based on research conducted prior to the mid 1980's. Much research, experimental and numerical analysis, on horizontally curved girders has been conducted...

Spring 2021
Lateral–torsional buckling (LTB) is a stability failure mode that occurs in unbraced segments of flexural members and is associated with simultaneous out-of-plane lateral defection and cross-section rotation. The LTB behaviour of doubly symmetric I-shaped members is generally well understood....

Fall 2023
CLT panels are widely used in mid- and high-rise timber building structures, but the application of in-plane compression loads to its edges presents a significant challenge. The Canadian Standard Association (CSA O86) assumes that the load is uniformly distributed across the entire panel, but...

Spring 2024
Double wythe masonry cavity walls consist of two masonry wythes, an exterior layer typically made of clay-backed or ceramic bricks (veneer) and the inner layer composed of concrete masonry units (CMU), which serves as a structural backup. In typical cavity wall design, the two wythes are assumed to

Markerless 3D Assessment of Severity and Progression of Scoliosis Using Surface Topography on Isolated Back Scans
DownloadSpring 2019
The objectives of the thesis were to: 1. Determine if open source software can be use in markerless asymmetry analysis of surface topography. 2. Determine if isolated back scans can be used in markerless asymmetry analysis of surface topography. Markerless asymmetry analysis of surface...

Modelling Repair Techniques for Reinforced Concrete Bridge Barriers using Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer Bars
DownloadSpring 2021
In an era where bridge deterioration due to corrosion has become evident and a pressing concern for future reinforced concrete bridge construction, glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement has emerged as a feasible alternative to steel due to its superior corrosion resistance. Research...

Novel XFEM Variable Strain Damage Model for Predicting Fracture in Small-scale SENT and Full-scale Pipeline Fracture Tests
DownloadFall 2021
Of all the common integrity threats of steel pipelines, cracking is the most dangerous and potentially resulting in the immediate loss of pressure containment capacity. Industry pipeline operators should ensure that the tensile train capacity (TSC) of welded pipeline exceeds the longitudinal...

Fall 2019
Lateral–torsional buckling (LTB) is a failure mode that is associated with simultaneous vertical displacement and twisting of a beam when subjected to flexural loading. LTB behaviour is generally well understood for I shaped steel beams; however, the LTB behaviour of T shaped steel beams is not...
