Comportamiento mecánico de tubos de material compuesto rellenos de hormigón bajo carga axial en compresión
(2007)
Los tubos de polímero fibro-reforzado (FRP) rellenos de hormigón constituyen una alternativa eficiente para la construcción de elementos de soporte estructural. Para ser utilizados con un nivel adecuado de confianza, estos ...
Fatigue behavior of ultra high strength structural materials
(2007)
Ultra high strength structural AF1410 steel is commonly used in critical aircraft structural components in aerospace and marine application, because it possesses high toughness and outstanding mechanical properties. However, ...
Recommendations of bridge distribution factors for military vehicles on steel beam bridges
(2007)
Analyses were carried out to develop live load distribution factors for the seven
most common US Army military vehicles on ninety steel multi-beam bridges. The
bridges were analyzed by the finite element method (FEM) to ...
Efficiency evaluation of an advanced oxidation processes (AOP) package plant for MTBE removal from natural waters
(2007-05)
To provide safe drinking water to small communities in Puerto Rico, this project evaluates the performance and reliability of a small-scale, advanced oxidation processes (AOP) package plant for water treatment. Specifically, ...
Experimental cyclic behavior of reinforced concrete wall houses loaded in their weak direction
(2007)
This research presents a study of the lateral capacity of the reinforced concrete houses constructed in Puerto Rico. These houses are built with a reinforced concrete roof slab and three reinforced concrete walls oriented ...
Developing insurance solutions software for natural hazard loss estimation
(2007)
The population explosion in the second half of the twentieth century has caused exponential growth in economic losses associated with the natural and man-made disasters. Efforts to better understand economic consequences ...
Study of the seismic behavior of steel buildings with a 1/6 scale model and shaking table tests
(2007)
This thesis summarizes the design, construction and instrumentation of a 1/6 scale model of a steel structure typically used in commercial buildings in Puerto Rico, and the evaluation of methods to upgrade its performance ...
Amortiguamiento en estructuras de acero utilizando materiales viscoelásticos
(2007)
En esta tesis se evaluó la efectividad de materiales viscoelásticos para disipar energía en edificios de acero mediante simulaciones numéricas con elementos finitos. El material se aplicó con tratamientos a cortante y ...
Development of a regional integrated hydrologic model for a tropical watershed
(2007)
A preliminary hydrologic regional conceptual model was developed for a coastal tropical basin and implemented in an integrated, fully distributed, physically based, numerical model. The model attempts to include features ...
Engineering behavior of soft clays treated with circulating fluidized bed combustion fly ash
(2007-07)
This thesis presents results from a comprehensive laboratory study carried out to investigate the feasibility of using Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion fly ash for improvement of engineering properties, particularly ...
