Montalbán Turón, Carlos (Date of defense: 2021-06-30)
(English) In this PhD Dissertation the structural performance of buildings with stairs submitted to lateral loads, is investigated. Because of the historical neglect of the interaction effects between the main structure ...
Vargas Alzate, Yeudy Felipe (Date of defense: 2013-07-09)
Esta tesis propone una metodología de evaluación del daño sísmico basada en el método del espectro de capacidad pero con un enfoque probabilista que se apoya en simulaciones Monte Carlo. Así la acción sísmica, la estructura ...
Hidalgo Leiva, Diego (Date of defense: 2017-01-30)
The damage assessment of structures under seismic actions, must seek the implementation of new theories, tools and procedures that reduce the uncertainty associated to the expected structural response of a building. This ...
Ávila Haro, Jorge Arturo (Date of defense: 2021-07-01)
Despite the fact that masonry is one of the oldest and most used building materials, the number of existing studies and experimental data, as well as the applicability of its results (i.e. extrapolation), are substantially ...
Valcárcel Torres, Jairo Andrés (Date of defense: 2013-02-01)
Los daños por terremotos en edificios y sistemas esenciales han motivado la definición de estándares de comportamiento de estas instalaciones, buscando reducir las pérdidas económicas y la pérdida de funcionalidad. Varias ...
Salinas Naval, Victor (Date of defense: 2015-11-25)
A complete and reliable Seismic Soil Response prediction requires a thorough knowledge of the Geotechnical and Geological structure, as well as algorithms to find the transfer function. This fact entails a significant ...
Rasol, Mezgeen Abdulrahman Rasol (Date of defense: 2021-01-20)
The study of surface geology by means of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) can provide information about abrupt lateral changes in the terrain. The location ofthese changes is very useful in seismic nanozonation studies, since ...
Pinzón Ureña, Luis (Date of defense: 2020-09-18)
Earthquakes are defined as a "violent shaking of the Earth's crust and mantle, caused by forces acting inside the Earth". In most cases, these forces are caused by an energy release process generated from the contact of ...
Cardona Arboleda, Omar Dario (Date of defense: 2001-12-19)
The present research commences with a revision of the concepts of hazard, vulnerability, and risk. This is a basic requirement for the construction of the theoretical framework herein developed. A revision of commonly used ...
Martínez Santafé, Maria Dolors (Date of defense: 1998-11-06)
El objetivo de este trabajo es el estudio de la estructura elástica y anelástica del sistema litosfera-astenosfera de la cuenca del mar Mediterráneo, a partir del análisis de la propagación y la atenuación de las ondas ...
Mena Hernández, Ulises (Date of defense: 2002-07-22)
Las grandes ciudades modernas situadas en áreas de peligrosidad sísmica moderada o baja tienden a minusvalorar el peligro sísmico y a descuidar precauciones básicas de protección frente a los terremotos. Ello conlleva un ...
Jaramillo Santana, Nayive (Date of defense: 2014-06-12)
The risk coming from natural hazards is usually assessed in physical terms by estimating the losses they may cause. Nevertheless, the risk assessment can involve such aspects as the lack of economic and social development, ...
Aguilar Meléndez, Armando (Date of defense: 2011-07-23)
In the present work a probabilistic methodology to estimate the seismic risk of buildings in urban areas is proposed. The seismic risk obtained through this methodology is expressed in terms of annual probabilities of ...
Piscal Arévalo, Carlos Mario (Date of defense: 2018-10-22)
An important percentage of Colombian population is located in medium-to-high seismicity zones (NSR-10, 2010). Therefore, it is important to protect the buildings, principally the highly crowded ones, and those that are ...
Salgado-Gálvez, M. A. (Date of defense: 2016-07-04)
Herrera Gonzalez, Reyes Indira (Date of defense: 2017-03-31)
In this research, the seismic response, the vulnerability and the expected damage in rein-forced concrete residential buildings, with irregular plants, are analyzed. This irregularity is mainly due to inbound and outbound ...
