(2021)*Embargoed until October 2024 -
Effect of sulfate content on the evolutive fracture behavior and properties of fiber-reinforced cemented paste backfill
(2022)Backfilling technology is utilized globally to improve ore recovery, reduce mine-generated waste, and provide stability to underground voids. Cemented paste backfill (CPB), a mixture of mine tailings, cement binder, and ... -
Embodied energy assessment of building structural systems using building information modeling
(2017)As the population of the world increases, the need to develop sustainable housing has gained worldwide attention. Although buildings contribute to socio-economic development, they are also among the biggest consumers of ... -
Entropy-based reliability analysis and design in slope engineering
(2018)Canada has a wide range of landslide types reflecting the diverse geomorphic and geologic environments in the nation’s landscape. Many civil engineering projects are located on or near sloping ground, and thus are ... -
Estimation of stripping by static immersion test using image processing and machine learning
(2019)Hot Mixed Asphalt (HMA) is one of the most common types of pavement, which exists on the surface of the roads, inside and outside of cities. One of the main destresses in HMA is moisture-related damage, which mainly occurs ... -
Evolutive fracture behavior of cemented paste backfill
(2022)Underground mining is a key global industry that produces many of the mineral resources needed by several sectors of the economy. However, underground mining extracts large volumes of material from below the ground, which ... -
Examination of independent contributions of driver, crash, vehicle and geometric characteristics to driver fatalities
(2018)In 2016, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) had recorded a total of 37,461 road-related mortalities within the United States alone. To alleviate the effects of road fatalities concerning economy and ... -
Experimental determination of the residual compressive strength of concrete columns subjected to different fire durations and load ratios
