Propuesta de reestructuración del currículo de matemáticas en la Unidad Académica de Ingeniería Civil , Arquitectura y Diseño de la Universidad Católica de Cuenca

RESUMEN La presente propuesta, nace por las dificultades de las matemáticas en los estudiantes, dicho tema después deun análisis previo,matrices, encuestas, revisión de información, reglamentos, etc., dio como resultado que se tenía que reformar el currículo de las matemáticas, para lo cual utilizando las directrices de las instituciones de Educación Superior, se generó el presente trabajo. En este proceso se tuvo que revisar y analizar el macro currículoponiendo mucho énfasis en el enfoque pedagógico, la visión y misión de la universidad, la carreras estas deberán estar enlazadaentre ellas y deben ser coherentes entre sí como eje fundamental para establecer los perfiles. Usando los Perfil Consultado, resultados de aprendizaje (Perfil de egreso), que no es más que los procesos que el estudiante logra como resultado de su aprendizaje y Perfil profesional capacidades y competencias que identifican la formación, estos deben demostrar que han sido definidos en base a estudios de las necesidades de la sociedad, esto es conocido como el meso currículo. Una vez que existe la conexión entre el perfil profesional, el perfil de egreso y la misión de la carrera, se procedió cumplir con el proceso de desarrollar el respectivo análisis del diseño curricular de la carrera. Finalmente se analizó el micro currículo, los resultados de aprendizaje del área de matemáticas y se dio un modelo de silabo y plan de aula.

Advances in the study of soil-structure interaction effects on the dynamic response of piled structures

[EN]This Ph. D. thesis presents a simple and stable procedure for the estimation of periods and dampings of pile shear buildings taking soil-structure interaction into account. The coupled-system response is obtained by using a substructuring model. A boundary element-finite element coupling formulation is used to compute impedances and kinematic interaction factors of the pile group configurations under investigation. The proposed procedure is applied to perform parametric analyses to determine the influence of the main parameters of soil-structure interaction problems on the dynamic response of the superstructure. The scope of this thesis also encompasses the study of foundations including battered piles.

BEM-FEM coupling model for the dynamic analysis of piles and pile groups

[EN] This paper shows a BEM-FEM coupling model for the time harmonic dynamic analysis of piles and pile groups embeddes in an elastic half-space. Piles are modelled using Finite Elements (FEM) as a beam according to the Bernoulli hypothesis, while the soil modelled using  Boundary Elements (BEM) as a continuum, semi-infinite, isotropic, homogeneous or zoned homogeneous, linear, viscoelastic medium.

Shape design optimization of road acoustic barriers featuring top-edge devices by using Genetic Algotithms and Boundary Elements

[EN] This paper presents a Boundary Elements (BE) approach for the efficiency improvement of road acoustic barriers, mora specifically, for the shape design optimization of top-edge devices in the search for the best designs in terms of screening performance, usually represented by the insertion loss (IL).

Influence of reservoir geometry and conditions on the seismic response of arch dams

[EN]An analysis of the influence that reservoir levels and bottom sediment properties (especially on the degree of saturation) have on the dynamic response of arch dams is caried out. For this purpose, a Boundary Element Model developed by the authors that allows the direct dynamic study of problems that incorporate scalar, viscoelastic and poroelastic media is used.

Change in modal parameters of cracked single-edge notched plain concrete Beams

[EN]The aim of this work is looking into the possibility of capturing the change in the modal properties (natural frequencies, modal shapes and modal damping ratio) of plain concrete elements due to the presence of cracked areas by using a simple continuum damage zone numerical model.

Simple superposition approach for dynamic analysis of piled embedded footings.

[EN]The effectiveness and accuracy of the superposition method in assessing the dynamic stiffness and damping functions of embedded footings supported by vertical piles in homogeneous viscoelastic soil is addressed. To the end, the impedances of piled embedded footings are compared to those obtained by suporposing the impedance functions of the corresponding pile groups and embedded footing treated separately.

Importance of footing-soil separation on dynamic stiffness of piled embedded footings

[EN]Different phenomena such a soil consolidation, erosion, and scour beneath an embedded footing supported on piles may lead to loss of contact between soil and the pile cap underside. The importance of this separation on the dynamic stiffness and damping of the foundation is assessed in this work.

3-D Boundary element-finite element method for the dynamic analysis of piled buildings.

[EN]A boundary element-finite element model is presented for the three-dimensional dynamic analysis of piled buildings in the frequency domain. Piles are modelled as compressible Euler-Bernoulli beams founded on a linear, isotropic, viscoelastic, zoned-homogeneous, unbounded layered soil, while multi-storey buildings are assumed to be comprised of vertical compressible piers and rigid slabs.

Dynamic stiffness of deep foundations with inclined piles.

[EN]The influence of inclined piles on the dynamic response of deep foundations and superstructures is still not well understood and needs further research. For this reason, impedance functions of deep foundations with inclined piles, obtained numerically from a boundary element-finete element coupling model, are provided in this paper.

Influence of type wave and angle of incidence on seismic bending moments in pile foundations.

[EN]When analysing the seismic response of pile groups, a vertically-incident wavefiel is usually employed even though it doesnot necessarily correspond to the worst case scenario. This work aims to study the influence of both type of seismic body wave and its angle of incidence on the dynamic response of pile foundations.
