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 ...
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 ...
Study of Seasonal Rainfall Infiltration Via Time-Lapse Surface Electrical Resistivity Tomography: Case Study of Gamboa Area, Panama Canal Watershed
(2013-12-18)
The present investigation was focused on the variations in rainwater infiltration experienced by soils of Gamboa zone (Panama Canal Watershed) during various seasons of the year, employing a time-lapse analysis of electrical ...
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 ...
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 ...
Monitoring of Levels Moisture Soil Based on Electroresistive Methods: Case of the Gamboa Area, Panama Canal
(2010-07-02)
El objetivo principal de esta primera etapa de investigación se centra en obtener información referente a las características de los niveles freáticos en dos importantes zonas del sitio de Gamboa – área del Canal de Panamá: ...
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 ...
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 ...
