Analysis of Scour Countermeasures from a Constructability Point of View on Bridges for the Puerto Rico Territory
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2023)
Bridge scour is considered the main reason for bridge failures due to the holes that can form and compromise the structure’s stability. Federal regulations require all proposed bridges to be designed for scour resistance ...

Assessment of Geomorphic Characteristics and Analysis at the Existing Bridge Site in Puerto Rico
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2023)
The scour on bridges is considered one of the main reasons for bridge failures. Scour is the consequence of the erosion action that is caused by the water flow, which at the same time excavates and carries away material ...
Comparative Analysis of the Wind Speeds and Wind Loads Requirements for Puerto Rico on the Last Three Decades
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2018)
This paper presents an analysis of the
changes and differences of the wind load provisions
between the Building Regulation No. 7 of Puerto
Rico (amended in 1987) and the ASCE 7-88
through ASCE 7-16 and how they compare ...
Analysis of Billboards Signs Collapse Due to Intensive Wind of Hurricane Maria
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2018)
In Structural Analysis the collapse of
different structures always will depend on factors
such as the loads, dimensions and material used for
building the structure. Billboards signs are
commonly used by the outdoor ...
