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 ...

This thesis presents the results of the design of residential housing using welded wire mesh reinforcement (WWR) and the lineal evaluation of the shear walls reinforced with WWR under dynamic loadings. Typical residential ...

Esta tesis estudió una alternativa de reciclaje de neumáticos viejos en la forma de neumático triturado como material de relleno en muros de contención. Este material reciclado se considera costo efectivo y tiene ventajas ...

The most widely used model to perform the analysis of piles under lateral loads consists in modeling the pile as a series of beam elements and representing the soil as a group of unconnected, concentrated springs perpendicular ...

This research presents a study of the lateral capacity of the reinforced concrete houses constructed in Puerto Rico. These houses are built with a reinforced concrete roof slab and three reinforced concrete walls oriented ...

The laterally loaded pile problem involves a fourth order differential equation, where a complex relationship between the lateral deflections of the pile and the reactions generated by the surrounding soil take place. A ...

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 ...
