Diseño elástico y análisis no lineal para terremoto esperado de edificios de alta importancia ocupacional sometidos a cargas sísmicas en Puerto Rico
(2007-12)
Los códigos actuales de diseño son cada vez más estrictos para el diseño de las estructuras que necesitan mantenerse operando continuamente durante un evento de terremoto. Las estructuras tales como hospitales, edificios ...
Seismic analysis of horizontal axis wind turbines
(2010)
The wind energy industry has seen a substantial growth in several industrialized countries in recent years. Traditionally, territories in northern Europe, with a low level of seismicity, have been the leaders in the use ...
Seismic analysis of the embedded control tower at Success Dam
(2006)
This thesis presents the analyses carried out to compute the Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction (DSSI) effects of the embedded control tower at Success Dam, California. The particular case of the Success Dam in Sacramento, ...
Assessment of directional combination rules for the seismic analysis of nuclear power plant structures
(2020-07-22)
To assure the safety of Nuclear Power Plant structures, it is crucial to design them in a way that guarantees the continuous function of systems, structures, and components (SSC) after the seismic event has passed. Seismic ...
Seismic analyses and instrumentation of the Patillas earth dam
(2009-05)
This thesis presents the results of seismic analyses performed for an earth dam located in Patillas, Puerto Rico. This embankment dam was built using hydraulic filling between 1912 and 1914. The dam geometry and material ...
Consideración de las columnas cortas en la vulnerabilidad sísmica de las estructuras
(2005)
It has been observed that in recent earthquakes the short column effect has caused damage. The main objective of this investigation was to develop a simple methodology to identify the short column effect. The methodology ...
Seismic analysis and retrofitting measures for bridge No. 2001 in Highway PR-22, Bayamón, PR
(2013-05)
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has over 2200 in-service bridges as part of their inventory and more than 50% of these bridges were constructed over 30 years ago. Seismic design requirements are updated frequently due to ...
Study of the seismic behavior of steel buildings with a 1/6 scale model and shaking table tests
(2007)
This thesis summarizes the design, construction and instrumentation of a 1/6 scale model of a steel structure typically used in commercial buildings in Puerto Rico, and the evaluation of methods to upgrade its performance ...
Análisis dinámico y evaluación sísmica de la represa de contrafuertes Guayabal
(2008-11)
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 ...
