Stress strain behavior and dynamic properties of Cabo Rojo calcareous sands
(2006-05)
This thesis involved studying the stress-strain behavior and dynamic properties of
uncemented calcareous sands from southwest Puerto Rico (Cabo Rojo sand). A silica
sand (South Bend sand) with similar grain sizes was ...
Study of axially loaded post grouted drilled shafts using CPT based load transfer curves
(2005)
Post-grouted drilled shafts (PGDS) have been reported to have increased axial capacity
and to experiment smaller settlements, for a certain load level, compared to conventional
piles installed under similar conditions. ...
Establishing the magnitude of landslide triggering rainstorm events within the Cayaguas river watershed: a proposed methodology
(2009-12)
This research study focuses on evaluating slope stability within the watershed during rainfall events. Detailed slope water flow and stability analyses were performed in order to determine the rainfall duration and intensity ...
Medición de la infiltración y la succión en una arena no saturada usando un lisímetro de campo y su aplicación a la estabilidad de taludes
(2008-12)
Esta investigación involucró el diseño y construcción de un lisímetro de campo para monitorear el proceso de infiltración en una arena. El lisímetro, con un diámetro de 1.25 m y una altura de 1.75m, fue instalado en las ...
