(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 ...
Seismic performance and fragility curves for reinforced concrete frame and shear wall residential buildings in Puerto Rico
(2007)
Puerto Rico is situated in an earthquake prone region. Most of residential buildings in Puerto Rico are reinforced concrete structures. Because of the imminent risk of being affected by a strong earthquake, it is important ...
Earthquake induced damage estimation for steel buildings in Puerto Rico
(2006)
This work presents a method for estimating the expected damage caused by an earthquake on steel buildings in Puerto Rico. Since Puerto Rico is located between a series of tectonic faults, buildings could suffer the damages ...
Behavior of corrugated metal panels for use as storm shutters
(2009)
This investigation presents a study of the nonlinear dynamics of thin-walled folded plate structures under the localized impact of a rigid object. The research emerges in the context of the structural design and assessment ...
