Analytical study of the response of reinforced concrete walls with discontinuities of flag wall type
(Wiley, 2017)
Slender walls with discontinuities at their bases, such as flag walls or walls with
door openings or access, are common in Chilean practice because of the architectural
requirements at facades, first floors, and underground ...
An adaptive hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin approach for cardiac electrophysiology
(Wiley, 2018)
Cardiac electrophysiology simulations are numerically challenging because of the propagation of a steep electrochemical wave front and thus require discretizations with small mesh sizes to obtain accurate results. In this ...
Experimental cyclic response of RC walls with setback discontinuities
(Elsevier, 2019)
After the 2010 Maule, Chile, earthquake (Mw 8.8), several reinforced concrete (RC) buildings presented damage in some walls (crushing of concrete, buckling and fracture of steel reinforcement). These buildings had been ...
Understanding the cyclic response of RC walls with setback discontinuities through a finite element model and a strut-and-tie model
(Springer Netherlands, 2019)
Slender RC walls are often used in Chile and commonly, due to architectural constraint, the length of walls increases (setback) between floors designated for parking space and upper floors. These types of elements are ...
Prevalence, Characteristics, and Publication of Discontinued Randomized Trials
(American Medical Association., 2014)
IMPORTANCE The discontinuation of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) raises ethical concerns
and often wastes scarce research resources. The epidemiology of discontinued RCTs,
however, remains unclear.
OBJECTIVES To ...
The discontinuous boundary problema for transversally-isotopic plates containing linear defects
(Universidad Nacuional de Colombia; Sociedad Colombiana de matemáticas, 1998)
The main purpose of this paper is to derive relations connecting the discontinuities of the main geometrical and physical characteristics of the stress-state of a plate, containing linear defects with discontinuities of ...
Estimating tonal prosodic discontinuities in Spanish using HMM
(ELSEVIER, 2006-09)
The tonal prosodic discontinuity estimation in Spanish is exhaustively modelled using HMM. Due to the high morphological complexity in Spanish, a relatively coarse grammatical categorization is tested in two sorts of texts ...
Zooming out from archaeological discontinuities: The meaning of mid-Holocene temporal troughs in South American deserts
(Elsevier, 2017)
Building on previous research at smaller scales, in this paper we assemble paleoecological data and
archaeological time-series for deserts located in three latitudinal bands along the South American Arid
Diagonal (16 –41 ...
Continuities and discontinuities in the socio-environmental systems of the Atacama Desert during the last 13,000 years
(Elsevier, 2017)
Understanding how human societies interacted with environmental changes is a major goal of archaeology and other socio-natural sciences. In this paper, we assess the human-environment interactions in the Pampa del Tamarugal ...
Experimental and numerical cyclic response of RC walls with openings
(Elsevier, 2019)
According to Chilean design practice, walls usually have complex geometries and discontinuities in height, mainly in the first story. However, the Chilean design code, similar to many design codes, does not provide special ...
