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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Industrial ecology approach to management of fly ash from fluidized bed combustion: production of slow-release fertilizer and soil conditioner
(2006)
Coal has been a major energy source since the Industrial Revolution. Despite its environmental problems, coal consumption is still growing because of the lack of alternatives such as natural gas and petroleum resources. ...
Modeling the land-use legacy effect of agricultural practices on the water quality of streams from forest watersheds of Puerto Rico
(2018-05)
In order to aid in the establishment of “reference” criteria the nutrient status and dynamics of
soils, water and stream sediments of a secondary forested watershed is being compared with the dynamics
of an “historically” ...

(2009-05)
Este proyecto es parte de un proyecto de investigación realizada para la oficina del Comisionado de Seguros de Puerto Rico. El proyecto consiste en la generación de mapas de tipos de suelo para el municipio de Arecibo. Las ...
Tomografía preliminar de Puerto Rico
(2013)
Seismic Tomography has been used by researchers to obtain information about the internal structure of the Earth at different depths. This method is applied to identify and visualize the seismic wave velocity propagation ...
