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 ... -
Analytical Investigation of the Structural Fuse Concept
(2006-06-28)Passive energy devices (PED) are useful to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. Metallic dampers are one such PED. When they are designed such that all damage is concentrated ... -
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 ... -
Floor Response of SDOF Systems with Metallic Structural Fuses
(2004-06-26)The floor demands of Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) systems designed or retrofitted with metallic structural fuses are studied in this article. Floor velocity and acceleration are obtained and comparisons are made between ... -
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 ... -
Instrumentación sísmica en Panamá y proyecciones futuras
(2017-11-17)Los orígenes de la instrumentación sísmica en Panamá se remontan a la época de la construcción del Canal de Panamá, siendo este país el primero del Hemisferio Occidental que contó con un sismógrafo, el cual fue instalado ... -
Investigation of the Structural Fuse Concept
(2005-06-26)Passive energy dissipation (PED devices have been implemented to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. In this paper metallic dampers are defined to be structural fuses (SF) when ... -
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 ... -
