A variable damping semiactive device for control of the seismic response of buildings
(2005)
This dissertation proposes a new semiactive device, composed of two fixedorifice viscous fluid dampers installed in the form of V whose top ends are attached to the upper floor and their lower ends to a point that can move ...
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 ...
Response of ISO containers to a variety of dynamic loadings at different standoffs: Comparison of field experimentation and finite element modeling
(2021-05-14)
Intermodal cargo containers, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
containers, are use in a daily basis for transportation of merchandize. The development of the
intermodal cargo containers ...
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 ...
Parámetros sísmicos de registros de temblores medidos en Puerto Rico y su distribución geográfica
(2016)
In the present study the geographical distribution of several seismic parameters calculated for three
earthquakes recorded by the Puerto Rico Strong Motion Program (PRSMP) were analyzed. These
seismic parameters have ...
