This study aims to develop a rapid evaluation method for slab and box culvert bridges subjected to military vehicles; by adopting some of the metrics that already exist in the literature provided by the American Association ...

One of the most common dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) found in polluted underground systems in the U.S. is trichloroethylene (TCE). Most of the remediation technologies for chlorinated solvents like TCE have been ...

This work consisted in developing and programming a three dimensional non-linear analysis model for reinforced concrete structures using the incremental method for the application of loads or displacements and the Newmark ...

In this study a seismic microzonation of the city of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico was developed, starting from the design spectrum of the IBC-09 code for rock B. A conventional microzonation project requires substantial funds to ...

Se ha demostrado que considerar la respuesta sísmica de los componentes no estructurales de un edificio es de vital importancia, ya que en muchas ocasiones edificios bien diseñados sobreviven el sismo pero su funcionamiento ...

Slamming loads induced by waves on ships can cause severe damages on structural members which may compromise integrity and safety. Therefore, better understanding of the slamming problem is a topic of interest in marine ...

This research work is aimed to develop a robust Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) scheme that combines modern system identification methodologies and advanced signal processing techniques to improve the capabilities of ...

This study considers the analysis and load rating of reinforced concrete box culverts (RCBC) without structural plans using an inferred procedure based on the reinforcement index to estimate the type and location of the ...

This research study focuses on evaluating slope stability within the watershed during rainfall events. Detailed slope water flow and stability analyses were performed in order to determine the rainfall duration and intensity ...

Irrigation canals transport water from a source, such as a natural river or a reservoir, to a crop field or a community, making them vital for agriculture. This research develops a computer model to determine the water ...
