Download or read book Evaluación y rehabilitación post-sismica en edificaciones de mamposteria y concreto reforzado written by Antonio Lugo Razo and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dentro de los desastres naturales, los sismos son los más destructivos en términos de pérdidas humanas y materiales. Tan sólo en el periodo 2000-2007 se perdieron, debido a sus efectos, cuatrocientos treinta mil vidas humanas a nivel mundial (USGS, 2007). En 2007, en México, se presentaron 31 sismos con magnitud Richter mayor a 5.0 y 4 sismos con magnitud Richter mayor a 6.0 clasificados como de daño moderado y destructivos, respectivamente (SSN, 2008). Desafortunadamente y a pesar de los esfuerzos que se han realizado por reducir las consecuencias de los sismos (diseño sísmorresistente, simulacros, etc), se espera un incremento en la cantidad y la magnitud de los daños que se producen a partir de la ocurrencia de dichos fenómenos. Este incremento se deberá, por una parte, a la expansión demográfica hacia zonas de actividad sísmica y por otra a la falta de aplicación de las normas para diseño sísmico, especialmente en edificaciones diseñadas y/o construidas por personas no capacitadas (Milutinovic & Petrovsky, 1990). La evaluación de estos daños es una actividad crítica que debe ser planificada y diseñada con anterioridad para realizarse de manera eficiente y efectiva. El objetivo de la evaluación de daños es determinar si las edificaciones que soportaron el sismo pueden seguir siendo utilizadas normalmente o si su uso debe estar restringido de manera parcial o total. Distintas metodologías de evaluación han sido desarrolladas a nivel mundial destacando el método del Applied Technology Council ATC-20 (1979), el método Yugoslavo (1984), el método Japonés (1985), el método Mexicano (1988), el Método Italiano (2000) y el Método de Bogotá (2002), entre otros. Cada una de estas metodologías ha sido desarrollada y mejorada a partir de experiencias previas de sismos presentados en las distintas regiones del mundo. Sin embargo, la mayoría de estos procedimientos fueron creados para un país o región en particular y por lo tanto su aplicación tal cual en otras regiones del mundo está limitada. Esta limitación obedece por una parte a los cambios que existen en los sistemas constructivos utilizados en los diferentes países y por otro a la zonificación de las ciudades que es realizada y utilizada en el procedimiento de evaluación. A pesar de que el método mexicano de evaluación, considerado una mejora de los métodos Yugoslavo, ATC-20 y del Japonés, es uno de los más desarrollados a nivel mundial, tiene entre otras, las siguientes deficiencias o limitaciones: (1) Está enfocado a la Ciudad de México y su zonificación debido a que fue creado a partir del sismo de 1985 por encargo del entonces Departamento del Distrito Federal; (2) No define quién o quiénes son los responsables de la evaluación en caso del desastre y solamente menciona las profesiones que deberán de tener; (3) No cuenta con una herramienta computacional que permita el rápido procesamiento y eva.luación de la información recabada.

Download or read book Geoscience Education written by Clara Vasconcelos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents research in Geoscience Education focusing on indoor and outdoor environments in which teaching geoscience gains particular relevance, significance and contextualization. The research areas that are presented throughout the thirteen chapters cover a wide variety of subjects ranging from educational resources and fieldwork to science models. Chapters discuss specific geoscience topics such as earthquakes, rocks, fossils and minerals. Other chapters present a more interdisciplinary approach addressing topics that aren’t usually examined, such as geomedicine and geoethics, with a specific focus on sustainable development and their alignment with the school curricula. Throughout the book readers can find research-based arguments illustrated with practical examples, which will help them to innovate in their curriculum development area, classroom practices and pre and in-service teachers’ education. The book challenges readers to improve Geoscience Education by changing the ways of teaching, by enabling students to exploit their natural curiosity, and by spurring a learning process that should not be confined to the classroom but rather maintained throughout life.

This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 3006 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (PCSMGE) was held in Mexico in 1959. Every 4 years since then, PCSMGE has brought together the geotechnical engineering community from all over the world to discuss the problems, solutions and future challenges facing this engineering sector. Sixty years after the first conference, the 2019 edition returns to Mexico. This book, Geotechnical Engineering in the XXI Century: Lessons learned and future challenges, presents the proceedings of the XVI Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XVI PCSMGE), held in Cancun, Mexico, from 17 – 20 November 2019. Of the 393 full papers submitted, 335 were accepted for publication after peer review. They are included here organized into 19 technical sessions, and cover a wide range of themes related to geotechnical engineering in the 21st century. Topics covered include: laboratory and in-situ testing; analytical and physical modeling in geotechnics; numerical modeling in geotechnics; unsaturated soils; soft soils; foundations and retaining structures; excavations and tunnels; offshore geotechnics; transportation in geotechnics; natural hazards; embankments and tailings dams; soils dynamics and earthquake engineering; ground improvement; sustainability and geo-environment; preservation of historic sites; forensics engineering; rock mechanics; education; and energy geotechnics. Providing a state-of-the-art overview of research into innovative and challenging applications in the field, the book will be of interest to all those working in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. In this proceedings, 58% of the contributions are in English, and 42% of the contributions are in Spanish or Portuguese.
