Thermal Design Considerations for a Seasonally Frozen Capillary Barrier Diversion Cover System
(2016-07-26)
Soil covers on mining waste are typically designed for temperate climates and often rely on fine-grained soils to limit net percolation. Mine sites in cold regions, such as Northern Canada, have limited fine-grained materials ...
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 ...
Development of safety performance functions and a GIS based spatial analysis of collision data for the City of Saskatoon
(2012-09-17)
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) produced the first edition of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) in 2010. The HSM introduces a six-step safety management process which provides ...
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF GAS FLOW WITHIN A MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL
(2012-08-30)
Numerical analysis and modelling of gas flow within a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill has the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency of design and performance of operation for landfill gas (LFG) extraction ...
Petroleum hydrocarbon content, leaching and degradation from surficial bitumens in the Athabasca oil sands region
(2012-09-06)
Mine reclamation has become a topic of considerable research in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region of Northeastern Alberta, Canada. In this area some of the largest open pit mines in the world extract bitumen, a type of heavy ...
The hydraulic behaviour of sand and silt soils around the residual-state condition
(2012-11-28)
Geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering problems may require the computation of near-ground-surface water balances. Evaluation of the unsaturated coefficient of permeability function is often necessary in order to ...
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 ...
Characterization of the urban runoff from the city of Saskatoon to the South Saskatchewan river
(2007-01-31)
A major upgrade to the wastewater treatment plant in Saskatoon, Canada significantly improved the final effluent quality. Consequently, the relative impact of the city’s urban runoff on the receiving stream, the South ...
Vibration-Based Damage Detection For Timber Bridges
(2012-09-20)
Vibration-based damage detection (VBDD) methods are global response-based methods that have the potential to provide valuable insight into the health of a structure. Dynamic characteristics obtained through vibration ...
An Empirical Analysis of Gas Well Design and Pumping Tests for Retrofitting Landfill Gas Collection
(2012-09-21)
Retrofitting a landfill with a gas collection system is an expensive and time consuming endeavor. Such an undertaking usually consists of longer-term extraction testing programs and the installation of deep, large diameter ...
