Determination of soil strength parameters from unconfined compression testing on partially saturated soils
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 1996-12)
The uneonfined compression test is used in most geotechnical studies to y -determine soil strength parameters. This test is recommended for fine cohesive > ^ soils with a degree of saturation of more than 90%. It has been ...
Inscribed r-gons: A Combinatorial approach
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 1996-12)
The author uses the concept of circular combinations to find the number of r-gons that can be inscribed in a n-gon.
Trigésimo Aniversario
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 1996-12)
La Universidad Politécnica de Puerto Rico (UPPR) cumple 30 años. Nació en 1966 cuando comenzó a ofrecer cursos técnicos conduncentes a un bachillerato en agrimensura y cartografía.
Determination of interface roughness and its correlation in amorphous-silicon/ amorphous-germanium multilayers
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 1996-06)
The importance of surfaces and interfaces of materials is increasing in many technological areas. In the microelectronic industry, for example, the J current trend is toward even faster and smaller electronic devices. ...
Study of the density of states in amorphous Silicon-Hydrogen using the semiconductor/electrolyte system
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 1996-12)
Localized states in amorphous Silicon-Hydrogen are studied by pulsed measurements on the a-Si:H/electrolyte (S/E) system. The S/E interface is essentially blocking to current flow. As a result, surface space-charge layers, ...
Vector quantization
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 1996-12)
Data compression is the packing of data, the process of transforming a body data into a smaller representation from which the original or an approximation of the original can be computed at a later time. Most data sources ...
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 ...
Implementation of the stiffness method within MathCad numeric computation environment
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 1996-12)
This article presents a case study of a simple planar framed structure to show an original implementation of the stiffness method of structural analysis within MathCad numeric computation environment. This approach was ...
Golden section search solution of single variable optimization problems using MathCad
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 1997-06)
The method of solution presented in this article is based on a searching technique known as the Golden Section Rule. This method can be used for solving single-variable optimization problems without constraints, but for ...
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 ...
