Senior Reports
Permanent URI for this collection
Senior Reports were/are, essentially, undergraduate theses for some science and most engineering faculties going back as far as the 1920s. Their digitization and upload to UNB Libraries Institutional Repositories was meant to preserve these works in electronic format. Because of NDAs with industry, the propriety of information, and other privacy reasons, this collection requires UNB Login credentials to view as per the wishes of the faculties responsible. These works are unavailable to those outside the institution, generally.

Current analytical methods which compare level of service will not provide an accurate determination of relative efficiency because the level of service criteria for each configuration is different ~ stopped delay per vehicle for a signal, and minimum average delay or reserve capacity for a circle. To provide the basis for an accurate comparison, computer modelling was used. The analysis was carried out using the simulation software TRAF-NETSIM*. Cases of varied approach volume, approach volume ratios and turning traffic were considered. The comparison was made by the output measures of effectiveness. These were travel time, stopped time, average speed, fuel consumption and the ratio of free flow travel time to actual travel time. Traffic circles were found to give a superior performance to signalized intersections when approach volumes were low and balanced, and when turning traffic was high.Item A comparison between activated sludge and trickling filter processes(University of New Brunswick, 1973) Foote, Thomas W.; Landine, R.Item A comparison between Marshall and gyratory compaction methods(University of New Brunswick, 1997) Burgoyne, Marci; Douglas, RobertItem A comparison between the Benkelman Beam and the Dynaflect(University of New Brunswick, 1978) Stephens, Donald O.; Dohaney, WalterItem A comparison between welded wire fabric and tied reinforcing(University of New Brunswick, 1978) Wasson, Gordon P.; Bremner, TheodoreItem A comparison of accident rates for New Brunswick divided and undivided highways(University of New Brunswick, 1987) Pye, Glendon B.Item A comparison of biological and biochemical methods of phosphorus removal from wastewater(University of New Brunswick, 1995) Haynes, Bassey M.; Lin, K.Item A comparison of currently available resource leveling methods used in construction(University of New Brunswick, 1990) Rankin, Jeff H.; Waugh, L.; Waugh, LloydThe capabilities of two heuristic-based methods and one optimization-based method for resource levelling are examined. Four different projects are used for this examination. Of the two heuristic methods one is determined to be inappropriate and the other is best suited for resource allocation. The optimization model works well for resource levelling and not for resource allocation. Both the optimization and one of the heuristic methods are useful in their specific application. However improvements can be made to each method to improve it's usability.Item A comparison of highway guiderails(University of New Brunswick, 1973) MacLean, Brian Robert; Wilson, F.Item A comparison of preserved wood foundations to concrete block and placed concrete systems(University of New Brunswick, 1979) Ketch, Brian Kenneth; McLaughlin, R.Item A comparison of provincial and federal acts, regulations, and contract documents that control the effect of holdback policies(University of New Brunswick, 1991) Lamont, Duane A.; Waugh, LloydThere i s much d i s p l e a s u r e with the current l e g i s l a t i o n c o n c e r n i n g holdbacks.
