Application of the precursor transformation method to investigate cable tension influence in La Plata Bridge in Puerto Rico
(2015)
Bridge engineers are becoming more interested in structural health monitoring of cable stayed bridges in order to understand and mitigate problems such as from vibrations, fatigue, and corrosion. La Plata Bridge in Naranjito, ...
Diseño de un sistema para el manejo de información de proyectos de construcción en la Universidad de Puerto Rico, Recinto de Mayagüez
(2009)
The purpose of this project is the optimization of the flow of information between all personnel involved in the construction projects of the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus. In addition, an attempt to reduce ...
Fate and transport of TCE aqueous and non-aqueous phases in a karstified limestone physical groundwater model under different flow rates
(2019-12-06)
This research assesses the fate and transport of non-aqueous and dissolved trichloroethene (TCE) in a karstified limestone physical model (KLPM). The KLPM integrates a limestone block (15 cm x 15 cm x 77 cm) and simulates ...
Metodología para la evaluación de la consistencia de diseño de carreteras rurales de dos carriles
(2015)
The road geometric design consistency is correlated with its level of safety. This evaluation is performed in three stages: measure or estimation of the operational speed, calculation of the dependent variable in the ...
Computational buckling analysis of cylindrical thin-walled above-ground tanks
(2005-06)
This thesis evaluates the stability of cylindrical above-ground steel tanks under imposed support settlements and wind pressures. The tanks considered are representative of tanks constructed in Puerto Rico and in the ...
Utilización de synchro para mejorar el proceso de planificación de proyectos de construcción
(2015)
The construction project contract documents contain all information, specification, details, quantities and others information. Typically, these documents are prepared and delivered in different files that have to be ...
Fatigue life assessment of sandwich composite hulls under repeated slamming loads
(2014)
Slamming loads induced by waves on ships can cause severe damages on structural members which may compromise integrity and safety. Therefore, better understanding of the slamming problem is a topic of interest in marine ...
Factores de calidad de servicio para el sistema de carros públicos
(2010-12)
The “Carros Públicos” is a special demand response transit service operating in Puerto Rico. The sustained reduction in the system ridership could be related to its poor quality of service, as perceived by the population, ...
Stochastic simulation of tropical cyclones for quantification of uncertainty associated with storm recurrence and intensity
(2019-07-10)
Current practice for the design and assessment of coastal infrastructure requires the use of stochastic methods for the evaluation of the risk associated with coastal hazards such as storm surge and flooding induced by ...
Curvas de fragilidad para estructuras de pórticos de hormigón armado en Puerto Rico involucrando el efecto de las paredes de mampostería no estructurales
(2008)
Las estructuras de pórticos de hormigón armado con paneles de mampostería como relleno representan una porción significativa de las estructuras construidas en Puerto Rico y en muchas partes del mundo. Muchos de los ingenieros ...
