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 ...
Seismic Response of Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) Structural Fuse Systems
(2004-06-26)
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) ...
Restricción del Río Caimito para Uso Recreativo según el Índice de calidad de Agua 2004
(2013-07-05)
Debido al crecimiento vertiginoso de las áreas suburbanas por falta de planificación y desconocimiento de la población y su interrelación con el medio ambiente, se contaminan nuestras fuentes de agua potable. El Río Caimito, ...
Study of The Corrosion Products Formed on Carbon Steels in The Tropical Atmosphere of Panama
(2003-06-25)
Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction (in selected samples) have been used to characterize corrosion products on carbon steels after atmospheric exposure to the tropical Panamanian locations of Panama and ...
Seismic Response of Hybrid Systems with Metallic and Viscous Dampers
(2016-06-27)
Metallic dampers can enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced lateral displacements, and by reducing inelastic behavior of beams and columns. Limiting story drift also indirectly allows for mitigation ...
Using the Micro – Resistivity Method to Detect Hispanic Ancient Floors at Nombre de Dios, Panama
(2010-07-02)
This article describes the application of the method of electric prospection to the detection of floors of hispanic type associated with the site of Nombre de Dios. This site represents an important and ancient Spanish ...
Prospección Geofísica Aplicada a la Arqueología – Importancia de los Procesos de Modelización y Simulación Numérica
(2008-06-30)
Los últimos años del siglo veinte se caracterizaron por el desarrollo de grandes proyectos científicos de los cuales conviene mencionar la aparición de medios de cálculo computacionales; estas herramientas permiten ...
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) ...
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 ...
