Influencia de la presión en roturas de tubería de redes de distribución
(2016-09-01)
Uno de los síntomas del deterioro de las redes de distribución de agua son las frecuentes roturas de tubería. Las gestoras del agua tratan de evitarlas en la medida de lo posible debido a los elevados costos económicos, ...
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 ...
Geophysical Investigations in the Old Panama Archaeological Site
(2006-06-28)
The results of geophysical prospections in an archaeological site of hispanic type in Panama (Central America) are presented in this article. The archaeological site of Old Panama has been intensively investigated with the ...
Seismic Response of Single-Degree-of-Freedom Systems with Structural Fuses
(2004-06-25)
Passive energy dissipation (PED) devices have been implemented to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. In this article, metallic dampers are defined to be structural fuses (SF) ...
Estudio experimental de la ductibilidad de soportes de hormigón convencional sometidos a compresión y carga lateral cíclica
(2009-12)
Los soportes de hormigón armado que forman parte de una estructura sismorresistentes en lugares donde existen mayores riesgos de sismo, deben diseñarse con el objetivo de asegurar un adecuado comportamiento en cuanto a ...
Seismic Design of Multi-story Buildings with Metallic Structural Fuses
(2006-06-28)
Seismic design relies on inelastic deformations through hysteretic behavior. However, this translates into damage on structural elements, permanent system deformations following an earthquake, and possibly high cost for ...
Microstructural And Mechanical Study of The Al-20Sn (MASS%) Alloy Processed By Equal-Channel Angular Pressing By Route C
(2013-05-25)
In this work, the feasibility of an Al–20Sn (mass%) alloy to improve its mechanical properties through the Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) process is presented and discussed. Al–20Sn (mass%) alloy samples with a ...
Spatial genetic structure in the saddled sea bream (Oblada melanura [Linnaeus, 1758]) suggests multi-scaled patterns of connectivity between protected and unprotected areas in the Western Mediterranean Sea
(2016-04-01)
Marine protected areas (MPAs) and networks of MPAs are advocated worldwide for the achievement of marine conservation objectives. Although the knowledge about population connectivity is considered fundamental for the optimal ...
Experimental Validation of the Structural Fuse Concept
(2008-06-30)
Seismic design relies on inelastic deformations through hysteretic behavior. However, this translates into damage on structural elements, permanent system deformations following an earthquake, and possibly high cost for ...
Increase In Simple Precipitation Intensity Index In Panama
(2011-09-30)
The paper describes trends in climate change indices in the Republic of Panama by using long-term
meteorological data sets from the Panama Canal and MRI-AGCM. Simple precipitation intensity index
from eleven climate change ...
