Dynamic analysis of rigid pavements and bridges under moving vibrating trucks
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 1997-12)
The computer program UPR-PAVI2 was developed to perform the dynamic analysis of a pavement slab or a bridge superstructure loaded with moving vibrating trucks. UPR-PAVI2 can model the soil, slab and truck, considering their ...
Bridges under dynamic loads: comparison between finite element analysis and experimental results
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 1997-06)
AASHO Road Test performed experimental tests on bridges under dynamic and static truck loads. This paper shows a comparison between AASHO's tests and the analytical results of UPR-PAVI2, a computer program developed by the ...
Strain gauge and micrometer instrumentation of a truss structure
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 1997-12)
This project was performed as part of the Structural Analysis courses in order to compare theoretical results of the response of simple structures with the experimental results obtained at the Structures Engineering ...
Colapso de un muro de contención construido con mampostería
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 1997-06)
This study presents the analysis of a masonry retaining wall, typically built in Puerto Rico to stabilize and retain slopes. How safe and well built are these walls?. Have they the adequate resistance to efficiently retain ...
