Díaz Marrero, Elythania Del Coral (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2020)Due to the rain caused by Hurricane Maria there were various slope failures around Puerto Rico (PR). This project evaluates a failure in Lares, PR, road PR-124. The evaluation consists in mitigate that failure with two ... -
Evaluation of the Horizontal Coefficient of Consolidation Determined by One Dimensional Consolidation Tests for Soft Saturated Soil
García Betancourt, José A. (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2013)When determining time of consolidation at a project site where a soft clay soil profile is present the coefficients of vertical and horizontal consolidation are key parameters, when vertical drains are used. The ... -
Increasing the Available Soil Rotational Stiffness using Rammed Aggregate Piers for Wind Turbine Foundations Applications
Rodríguez, Juan Pablo (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2015)Wind turbine foundations must be designed to limit the angular rotation of the tower. Rammed Aggregate Piers (RAPs) are commonly used as a mean for increasing the available soil rotational stiffness by taking advantage ... -
