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 ...

En abril la Autoridad de Desperdicios Solidos celebro el mes de reciclaje y manejo adecuado de los residuos solidos. En mayo se celebro en Puerto Rico la semana del ingeniero y el agrimensor. Posiblemente se estaran ...
Cryptography: Algorithms and Security Applications
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2000-06)
Cryptography in Computer Science and Information Systems are broad. It is based in a sequence of steps, and its premise is only one: security. One of the latest developments in cryptography is Steganography, which is the ...
Knowledge Management: Managing Legal Information Via the WWW and Intranet
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2000-12)
The legal profession is an industry that has yet to exploit the Web to its fitllest extent. In an industry that resolves around documents, issues surrounding their creation, delivery, storage and management will have ...
PLAGA: A Highly Parallelizable Genetic Algorithm for Programmable Logic Arrays Test Pattern Generation
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 1999-06)
An evolutionary algorithm (EA) approach is used in the development of a test vector generation application for single and multiple fault detection of shrinkage faults in Programmable Logic Arrays (PLA). Three basic steps ...
PLAtestGA: A CNF-Satisfiability Problem for the Generation of Test Vectors for Missing Faults in VLSI Circuits
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2000-06)
An evolutionary algorithm (EA) approach is used in the development of a test vector generation application for single and multiple fault detection of growth faults in Programmable Logic Arrays (PLA). Three basic steps are ...
ADSL: The Best Choice for Fast Internet Access
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2000-12)
There is a real need for the increased bandwidth at a tower cost provided by ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line). The time is ripe for deployment due to the current competitive environment, and both A DSL transport ...
