Diseño de un sistema para el manejo de información de proyectos de construcción en la Universidad de Puerto Rico, Recinto de Mayagüez
(2009)
The purpose of this project is the optimization of the flow of information between all personnel involved in the construction projects of the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus. In addition, an attempt to reduce ...
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 ...
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. ...
Clasificación de suelos según el NEHRP para el municipio de Arecibo
(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 ...
Water hammer analysis of Villalba-Coamo potable water transmission line
(2009)
The hydraulic behavior of a new potable water transmission line that flows from Villalba to Coamo was analyzed using computer modeling. The modeling considered steady-state and transient simulations. All the input data in ...
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 ...
Multi-objective optimization approach for land use allocation based on water quality criteria
(2009)
Surface water contamination by point and nonpoint sources of pollution is a major concern for public and government agencies around the world due to the excessive contamination of water bodies. Water is an important resource ...
Probabilistic-based design factor for the elastic modulus of a pultruded composite material reinforced with a 3D braided preform
(2005-05)
This work describes research aimed to probabilistically assess the mechanical properties of a pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced with a 3D braid and roving. In addition, reliability-based reduction factors ...
Retrofitting of R/C structures on gravity columns using inverted-Y steel bracings
(2007)
It is common practice in Puerto Rico to build elevated reinforced concrete frame and shear wall structures in hillsides and hilly terrains by supporting them on gravity columns. Recent studies have indicated the vulnerability ...
