The influence of the microstructural shape on the mechanical behaviour of interpenetrating phase composites
(2005-03-17)
The microstructure-property relationship for interpenetrating phase composites (IPCs) is currently poorly understood. In an attempt to improve this understanding this study focused on one particular part of this relationship: ...
Open stope hangingwall design based on general and detailed data collection in unfavourable hangingwall conditions
(2009)
This thesis presents new methods to improve open stope hangingwall (HW) design based on knowledge gained from site visits, observations, and data collection at underground mines in Canada, Australia, and Kazakhstan. The ...
A risk-based decision policy to aid the prioritization of unsafe sidewalk locations for maintenance and rehabilitation
(2008)
Air pollution and a general concern for lack of physical activity in North America have motivated governments to encourage non-motorized modes of transportation. A key infrastructure component for these forms of transportation ...
An evaluation of the performance of prototype instrumented soil covers at the Regina municipal landfill
(2009)
The City of Regina Fleet Street landfill, north-east of Regina, Saskatchewan, is approaching its maximum capacity after a 47-year operating life and plans are now being made for its closure. As part of closure planning ...
A Model Study of the Hydraulics Related to Fish Passage Through Embedded Culverts
(2011-10-18)
This aim of this research program was to provide a better understanding of the hydraulics of embedded culverts. The results of this research may provide support to improving the methods of culvert installation with respect ...
Tracking changes in hydraulic conductivity of soil reclamation covers with the use of air permeability measurements
(2007)
The objective of this project was to design a prototype field air permeameter that can be used to track changes in the hydraulic conductivity within soil covers with time. The evolution of soil structure in reclamation ...
Integration of Structural Information into an Urban Asset Management System
(2012-10-25)
The Strategic Services Branch of the City of Saskatoon (COS) has observed that neighborhoods such as Erindale and Briarwood, exhibited more fatigue cracking than neighborhoods that were much older. Many of these roads ...
Durability of Flax Fibre Reinforced Concrete
(2012-08-16)
Flax fibre-reinforced concrete has been found to perform as well as concrete
reinforced with fibres made from glass and plastic in terms of its resistance to plastic
shrinkage cracking. However, flax fibres alone have been ...
Project level highway management framework
(2003-01-22)
Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation (SHT) is responsible for 26,125 km of highways in the province. The highway system is divided into primary and secondary highways. The primary highway system provides an inter-regional, ...
Modelling streamflow from forested watersheds on the Canadian boreal shield using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT)
(2012-07-16)
The Forest Watershed and Riparian Disturbance (FORWARD) Project was initiated in 2001 in Canada. The main objective of the project is to investigate the effects of tree harvesting upon streamflow and nutrient export from ...
