Analysis of Short-term Steel Corrosion Products Formed in Tropical Marine Environments of Panama
(2012-07-05)
The phases and compositions of the corrosion products of a mild steel (A-36) and two weathering steels (A-588 and COR 420) formed after 3 months exposure to the tropical marine atmosphere of Panama were examined using FTIR ...
An experimental study of steel fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete slender columns under cyclic loading
(2012-08-10)
Structural engineers usually limit the use of HSC columns to seismic active zones because of their britle behavior in comparison with NSC, even though it presents advantages both in terms of mechanics and durability. A ...
Estimates of Biomass and Fixed Carbon at a Rainforest in Panama
(2012-10-03)
This paper presents an estimation of the quantity of carbon fixed in trees in a one hectare (ha) plot at the Cerro Pelado-Gamboa
Hydrology Tropical Observatory, which is located in the province of Colon, Panama. The ...
Estudio teórico de capacidad de deformación de soportes esbeltos de hormigón armado con fibras de acero sometidos a esfuerzos combinados de axil y carga lateral
(2012-10)
El estudio de la ductilidad es muy importante en elementos estructurales sometidos a esfuerzos combinados, ya que nos determina la capacidad de resistencia y a la deformación. Actualmente son escasos los ensayos experimentales ...
Behaviour of steel-fibre-reinforced normal-strength concrete slender columns under cyclic loading
(2012-03-28)
The inclusion of ductility requirements is necessary to guarantee a safety design of concrete structures subjected to unexpected and/or reversal loads. It is important to outline that plastic hinges may develop in columns ...
Assessing resilience to climate change in the US cities
(2012-03-09)
In the face of uncertainties associated with climate change, building adaptive capacity and resilience at the community level emerges as an essential and timely element of local planning. However, key social factors that ...
Comportamiento de soportes esbeltos de hormigón armado con fibras de acero sometidos a esfuerzos combinados de axil y carga lateral cíclica
(2012-10)
La ductilidad es un indicador de la capacidad de deformación en estructuras sometidas a esfuerzos combinados de axil y carga lateral cíclica. El elemento estructural sometido a estos esfuerzos debe ser capaz de absorber y ...
