Modeling the Modal Shift towards a More Sustainable Transport by Stated Preference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
(MDPI, 2021-01-01)The need to gain a comprehensive understanding of road travelers’ choice of mode and their perceptions of using sustainable urban mobility modes have evolved to shape the form of future transport planning and policymaking. ... -
Modeling the Transportation of Select Trace Organic Contaminants from Source to Ecosystem in the Grand River
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-02)Trace organic contaminants (TOrC) have been observed in waters downstream of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) in the Grand River in southern Ontario, Canada. These contaminants have been correlated with adverse impacts ... -
Modeling Volatile Organic Sulfur Compounds In Anaerobic Digestion
(University of Waterloo, 2010-07-19)Anaerobic digestion is a common process for treatment of wastewater sludge from municipal sewage systems. Volatile sulfur compounds, including volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs) and hydrogen sulfide, have been ... -
Modelling Fatigue Deterioration and Retrofitting in Bridge Management Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-11)Similar to any other structure exposed to the elements, bridges deteriorate and degrade over time. This deterioration can result in costly maintenance and repair if it is addressed properly or damage and even loss of life ... -
Modelling Temporal and Spatial Transportation of Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care Products, and Endocrine Disrupting Compounds in a Canadian Watershed
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-16)Temporal and spatial concentrations of several pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are predicted in the Grand River watershed using a novel version of the PhATE ... -
Modelling Tile Drains Under Present and Future Climate Conditions
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-19)Modelling the impact of climate change on the water from agricultural areas on a regional scale over a 40 year time period is the subject of this thesis. The Grand River watershed spans approximately 290 km with an area ... -
Modelling, Simulation and Control of Signalized Intersections under Adverse Weather Conditions
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-28)Adverse winter weather has always been a cause of traffic congestion and road collisions. To mitigate the negative impacts of winter weather, transportation agencies have been introducing weather responsive traffic management ... -
MODELS FOR ASSESSMENT OF FLAWS IN PRESSURE TUBES OF CANDU REACTORS
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-26)Probabilistic assessment and life cycle management of engineering components and systems in a nuclear power plant is intended to ensure safe and efficient operation of energy generation over its entire life. The CANDU ... -
Models for quantifying safety benefit of winter road maintenance
(University of Waterloo, 2011-12-15)In countries with severe winters such like Canada, winter road maintenance (WRM) operations, such as plowing, salting and sanding, play an indispensible role in maintaining good road surface conditions and keeping roads ... -
Modular Road Plate System
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-10)Concrete and asphalt are the most common materials used in permanent roadway pavements. Roadways are also constructed for temporary use in the resource industry, for remote site construction, and for disaster relief. ... -
Moisture Movement and Mould Management in Straw Bale Walls for a Cold Climate
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-29)There is a growing interest in straw bale construction for its low embodied energy and insulation value. Early studies of its structural behaviour and fire resistance have shown it to be a viable alternative to traditional ... -
Moisture Response of Wall Assemblies of Cross-Laminated Timber Construction in Cold Canadian Climates
(University of Waterloo, 2012-02-22)Wood is a highly versatile renewable material (with carbon sequestering properties), that is light in weight, has good strength properties in both tension and compression while providing good rigidity and toughness, and ... -
Molecular-Based Methods to Detect Viable Bacterial Pathogens in Source Waters
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)Humans can be exposed to waterborne bacterial pathogens and numerous outbreaks have been reported involving these microorganisms around the world. Many different enteric pathogens can be found in source waters used for ... -
Monitoring Oil Reservoir Deformations by Measuring Ground Surface Movements
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-21)It has long been known that any activity that results in changes in subsurface pressure, such as hydrocarbon production or waste or water reinjection, also causes underground deformations and movement, which can be described ... -
Monotonic and Fatigue Flexural Behaviour of RC Beams Strengthened with Prestressed NSM CFRP Rods
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-11)The use of near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement is a recent and a promising technique for increasing the flexural capacity and the fatigue life of reinforced concrete (RC) flexural ... -
Monotonic and Fatigue Performance of RC Beams Strengthened with Externally Post-Tensioned CFRP Tendons
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-04)External post-tensioning is an attractive technique for strengthening reinforced concrete structures because of its ability to actively control stresses and deflections, speed of installation, minimum interruption for the ... -
