Considering the high risk of seismic activity of the island of Puerto Rico, this research is aimed at determining the fundamental natural periods of the soil deposits in two areas, downtown Aguadilla and the Espinal ...

The equivalent linear method is widely used in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering to calculate the accelerations at the surface of soil deposits subject to earthquakes of moderate intensity. The method approximately takes ...

In the present study the geographical distribution of several seismic parameters calculated for three earthquakes recorded by the Puerto Rico Strong Motion Program (PRSMP) were analyzed. These seismic parameters have ...

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 ...

Esta tesis presenta el análisis dinámico y la evaluación sísmica de la represa de contrafuertes Guayabal ubicada en Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico para establecer conclusiones preliminares en cuanto a su integridad estructural ...
