Over 2000 buildings were surveyed by members of the Colegio de Ingenieros (CICM) and Sociedad Mexicana de Ingenieria Estructural (SMIE) in Mexico City following the Puebla-Morelos Earthquake of 2017. This inventory of surveyed buildings included nearly 40 collapses and over 600 buildings deemed to have structural damage. Correlation of damage with peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), predominant spectral period, building location, and building properties including height, estimated stiffness, and presence of walls or retrofits was investigated for the surveyed buildings. The evidence available suggests that (1) ground motion intensity (PGV) drove the occurrence of damage and (2) …

Reinforced concrete structural walls are commonly used as the primary lateral load resisting system in modern buildings constructed in high seismic regions. Most walls in high-rise buildings are C-shaped to accommodate elevators or other architectural features. C-shaped walls have complex loading and response including: (1) symmetric response in the direction of the web, (2) asymmetric response in the direction of the flange and (3) high compression and shear demands when used as a pier in a coupled-wall configuration. A research study was conducted on C-shaped walls tested under (1) uni-directional and (2) bi-directional loading of an isolated walls and (3) …
La Huella Del Cemento Aportes Del Cemento En La Arquitectura Republicana Bogotá Colombia 1910 - 1932, María Paula Neira Zúñiga
La Huella Del Cemento Aportes Del Cemento En La Arquitectura Republicana Bogotá Colombia 1910 - 1932, María Paula Neira Zúñiga
Arquitectura
Este estudio tiene el propósito de determinar los aportes del cemento a la arquitectura republicana en un período de tiempo comprendido entre 1910-1932, en Bogotá, Colombia. Para esta época se adelantaban procesos de industrialización en la capital del país y el cemento fue novedoso aportando a la evolución técnica, ornamental y funcional de la arquitectura. Esto se logró determinar gracias al análisis de tres casos de estudio: El Quiosco de la Luz (1910), El Edifi cio Pedro A. López (1919-123) y el Edifi cio Piedrahita (1930-1939) contrastando sus características arquitectónicas con las de edifi caciones de estilo colonial y republicano …
