Metodología simplificada para la evaluación de instalaciones peatonales en zonas escolares urbanas
(2008)
The main purpose of this project is to facilitate the evaluation of pedestrian safety in school zones considering the condition of the pedestrian infrastructure, the traffic control devices and the pedestrian behavior. ...
Evaluation of RC wall and frame systems under beyond design accelerations including aging effects
(2018)
Nuclear power plants and other civil structures in the world have recently experienced strong ground motions exceeding the original design values. The evaluation of the capacity of structural systems in a nuclear power ...
Ground vibration measurements: study case of simultaneous HVSR and SASW for site characterization
(2019-03-07)
In civil engineering, the properties of the soils are important for design and construction of a project. Therefore, it is necessary to know the different properties of the soil layers, the hydraulic and mechanical, so ...
Hybrid multimedia-filter prototype (HMP) for the degradation of trihalomethanes precursors and pathogens control from raw waters
(2018)
The need for affordable and resource conserving water purification methods has only increased over the years. Alongside that, the occurrence and discovery of emerging contaminants demand the research and development of new ...
Viabilidad de un edificio de aparcamientos multiusos mediante una Alianza Público Privada en el Recinto Universitario de Mayagüez de la Universidad de Puerto Rico
(2019-05-13)
The World Bank indicated that inadequate infrastructure hinders local economic growth, competitiveness, and is a major cause for a deficient quality of life. For the past decade, the government of Puerto Rico has been ...

(2019)
In civil engineering, the properties of the soils are important for design and construction of a project. Therefore, it is necessary to know the different properties of the soil layers, the hydraulic and mechanical, so ...
Analysis of driver’s performance on a school zone using a driving simulator and an eye tracker
(2019-07-03)
Road safety and speed limit compliance in school zones are critical problems in the United States (US), Puerto Rico, and other places around the world. Research has shown that drivers do not comply with speed limits around ...
Evaluation of the lateral stiffness for the seismic analysis and design of squat RC walls
(2019-05-15)
Reinforced concrete (RC) squat walls provide most of the structure lateral strength and stiffness to resist earthquakes and wind loadings in nuclear power plants and other buildings. A reduction factor is usually applied ...
Development of UPRM hybrid simulation facilities for dynamic analysis
(2019-05-15)
Puerto Rico is located in a high seismicity zone, hence it is essential the development and implementation of state-of-the-art dynamic analysis in order to predict and prevent possible damages on structures. At present, ...
Ambient vibration measurements to estimate site fundamental periods in Aguadilla and Aguada, PR
(2019-05-14)
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 ...
