Concrete is one of the main building materials in Peru and worldwide, the study of its mechanical properties and concrete mix elaboration have been extensively developed over time. In the last years, new ways of elaboration with different materials have been searched, in order to improve its mechanical properties, including the fiber reinforced concrete. The study of its strain-stress mechanical properties of fiber reinforced concrete under monotonic load is the objective of this investigation, based on experimental tests performed in 90 samples, taking into account the influence of many factors, such as: Compression strength design, sample section geometry (square or circular section), slenderness (height/depth ratio), and the comparison of the reinforced concrete with its equivalent plain concrete in terms of mix design. From the experimental results, the use of fiber reinforcement inc...

De acuerdo a la filosofía de diseño sísmico de edificaciones, las edificaciones deben ser diseñadas para salvaguardar la vida de sus ocupantes. Sin embargo, en edificaciones cuyo servicio es vital en caso de emergencias, tal como establecimientos de salud, así como también edificaciones que puedan servir de refugio y albergue, debe asegurarse que estas edificaciones continúen operativas y funcionales después del desastre. Por esta razón es necesario proteger sísmicamente las estructuras. Para llevar a cabo la protección sísmica de estructuras, diversas tecnologías han sido desarrolladas e implementadas en el mundo, una de ellas es el aislamiento sísmico de estructuras. El objetivo principal de la presente investigación se enfoca en el estudio del comportamiento del aislamiento sísmico elastomérico y su interacción con la estructura. Para llevar a cabo esto, se plantea e...

The high seismic activity on the Peruvian coast carries a potential risk of tsunamis that could affect the Peruvian coast, causing damage to people and structures. According to studies carried out by CISMID and Fondecyt, approximately 83% of the houses in Metropolitan Lima and Callao are made of masonry, mainly due to its low economic cost. The present experimental study aims to study the behavior of confined masonry walls under the action of perpendicular loads to the wall produced by the impact of tsunami waves, which is a field of research where it is still necessary to delve deeper with experimental studies of the structures under equivalent tsunami loads. As part of the experimental study, 2 confined masonry walls were built, which were tested under the action of perpendicular loads applied by means of hydraulic jacks with a force control simulating the forces induced by a tsunami. ...
