Evaluación computacional de la efectividad del método lineal equivalente para la estimación de la respuesta inelástica de pórticos de hormigón resistentes a momento
(2018-12-11)
This thesis examined an approximate method to calculate the nonlinear seismic response of structures known as the Equivalent Linear Model (ELM) which seeks to approximate the true nonlinear response through a series of ...
Vapor phase transport of explosive related compounds through unsaturated sandy soils
(2008-08)
Chemical detection of buried explosives devices through chemical sensing is influenced by factors affecting the transport of chemical components associated with the devices. Explosive-related chemicals (ERCs), such as ...
Automatización y estandarización del proceso de inspección para proyectos de carreteras
(2009)
The inspection in construction consists mainly on verifying that the work is being performed in accordance with plans, specifications, laws, regulations and codes. The inspection is a very important aspect, and to a large ...
Exploring the determinants of students' travel behavior in the face of parking scarcity problems
(2020-05-28)
Finding a parking spot at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (UPRM) can be a daily struggle. Currently, the Campus mismatch between parking demand and supply has resulted in a substantial number of people, mostly ...
Immobilization of titanium dioxide in crushed recycled glass for atrazine photo-degradation
(2016)
The release of toxic chemicals, as herbicides from agricultural activities is causing contamination of surface water by runoffs action after precipitation. This research studied the degradation of atrazine (herbicide) by ...
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. ...
Characterization of an optimized hig performance concrete with partial replacement of cement by fly ash and nanosilica
(2018)
Modern construction industry requires new technologies to comply with increasingly stricter environmental regulations. In particular, cutting back cement demand in concrete fabrication lowers carbon dioxide emissions caused ...
Redesign of a signalized intersection using non-conventional left turn treatments to optimize level of service and delays: Western Plaza case study
(2016)
Congestion and safety problems at intersections have been on the rise due to the increased traffic volumes throughout mainline corridors in Puerto Rico, as well as in the United States. As a result, new and innovative ...
Analysis and evaluation of traffic congestion at Sunny Isle and Sion Farm intersections in St. Croix, Virgin Islands
(2008)
This project presents the results of the analysis and evaluation of traffic conditions at two congested intersections Sunny Isle and Sion Farm in Saint Croix, Virgin Islands. They are among the busiest intersections in the ...
Axial compression load transfer mechanisms of drilled shafts in weak porous limestone
(2012)
The considerable increase in the use of drilled shafts to meet the demand of loads of great magnitude in the construction of buildings, roads and bridges, the fact that around 27.5% of the geomorphologic area of Puerto ...
