Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La arquitectura mexicana actual está mostrando su talento en las obras que proyectan. Sin embargo, sea cual fuese el proyecto arquitectónico, es indispensable considerar las condiciones que existirán en eventos sísmicos. No hacerlo así significa exponerse a incertidumbres de servicio o riesgos de estabilidad, que pueden inhabilitar o hacer fallar la estructura que se trate. Fue así como se perdieron en la ciudad de México legados importantes de arquitectura, por los efectos del sismo de 1985. A partir de ese entonces somos mejores: aprendimos que la arquitectura está ligada a las condiciones de su entorno. La Torre Latinoamericana es un icono de la Ciudad de México porque conjunta arquitectura, estructura, cimentación y sismo. El sismo de 1957 permitió reconocer el avance que se estaba logrando al integrar el diseño sísmico y la arquitectura. El de 1985 nos recordó que esa integración no es opcional, es necesaria. Esto exige que la participación del arquitecto y el ingeniero sea estrecha para beneficio de todos. El costo en vidas y los daños materiales se minimizan en la medida en que se incrementen las consideraciones sísmicas en los proyectos arquitectónicos. El presente libro lo introduce a uno en el tema, cómo y por qué se originan los sismos, cuáles son los principales elementos a considerar en el cálculo de las fuerzas sísmicas, y cómo se integran esos resultados en el diseño final. Es mérito del autor haberlo logrado: su formación académica de licenciatura en ingeniería civil, su postgrado en arquitectura y su desarrollo profesional en ambas actividades, lo han permitido. Es así como logra llevar al lector en un recorrido que permite visualizar la importancia del proyecto arquitectónico en zonas sísmicas. Explica de manera amena los elementos básicos que se requiere conocer de física, sismología y estructuras para llegar a los conceptos de coeficiente sísmico y espectro de diseño. Aborda el efecto de los sismos en los suelos: los tipos de suelos y sus características, los reglamentos de interés y comentarios en paralelo para ampliar las perspectivas del tema. Continúa con el efecto de los sismos en los edificios, el comportamiento de sus elementos y sistemas estructurales. Presenta las condiciones de diseño arquitectónico en zonas sísmicas y las configuraciones antisísmicas a considerar. Completa este marco general con el comportamiento de los diversos sistemas estructurales y los procesos aplicables, indicando las precauciones que deben tenerse durante su construcción. Al final presenta casos prácticos, que son ejemplos actuales de proyectos urbanos que no son ajenos al lector. Este libro de Alejandro Rojas ayudará a quien lo utilice, ya sea en el aula o en el taller de arquitectura... Carlos E Gutiérrez Sarmiento Abril del 2008.

Download or read book Principles of Disaster Mitigation in Health Facilities written by and published by Pan American Health Org. This book was released on 2000 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on problems encountered in areas of high risk for seismic events. It introduces the essential aspects of carrying out vulnerability assessments and applying practical measures to mitigate damage in hospitals addressing structural and nonstructural aspects as well as administrative and internal organization. In a period of only 15 years between 1981 and 1996 93 hospitals and 538 health care centers in Latin America and the Caribbean were damaged as a consequence of natural disasters. The direct cost of these disasters has been enormous; just as devastating has been the social impact of the loss of these critical facilities at a time when they were most needed. For these reasons special consideration must be given to disaster planning for these facilities. Assessing and reducing their vulnerability to natural hazards is indispensable. Principles of Disaster Mitigation in Health Facilities is an updated compilation of various documents on the topic already published by PAHO/WHO. Sections of previous publications have been revised to address the needs of professionals from a variety of disciplines particularly those involved in health facility planning operation and maintenance. Figures and photographs illustrate situations that can increase disaster vulnerability in health facilities. Examples are given of how countries in Latin America have conducted vulnerability assessments and applied specific disaster mitigation measures in their hospitals and health centers.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Association of Project Engineering is pleased to publish the following selection of the best papers presented at the 13th International Congress on Project Engineering. After having organized an annual Congress with an array of universities over the last 16 years —first at the national and then at the international level— by the end of 2008 the AEIPRO Directive Board decided to establish a Scientific Committee to evaluate the papers presented at the Congress. The Scientific Committee has also chosen the works to be published in the selected proceedings of the Congress. The procedures to establish the Scientific Committee and evaluate the submitted papers are explained below in detail. It is the hope of the Committee that the compiled works contribute to the improvement of project engineering research and improve the transfer of results to the job of Project Engineers.

Download or read book Cybernetic Revolutionaries written by Eden Medina and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical study of Chile's twin experiments with cybernetics and socialism, and what they tell us about the relationship of technology and politics. In Cybernetic Revolutionaries, Eden Medina tells the history of two intersecting utopian visions, one political and one technological. The first was Chile's experiment with peaceful socialist change under Salvador Allende; the second was the simultaneous attempt to build a computer system that would manage Chile's economy. Neither vision was fully realized—Allende's government ended with a violent military coup; the system, known as Project Cybersyn, was never completely implemented—but they hold lessons for today about the relationship between technology and politics. Drawing on extensive archival material and interviews, Medina examines the cybernetic system envisioned by the Chilean government—which was to feature holistic system design, decentralized management, human-computer interaction, a national telex network, near real-time control of the growing industrial sector, and modeling the behavior of dynamic systems. She also describes, and documents with photographs, the network's Star Trek-like operations room, which featured swivel chairs with armrest control panels, a wall of screens displaying data, and flashing red lights to indicate economic emergencies. Studying project Cybersyn today helps us understand not only the technological ambitions of a government in the midst of political change but also the limitations of the Chilean revolution. This history further shows how human attempts to combine the political and the technological with the goal of creating a more just society can open new technological, intellectual, and political possibilities. Technologies, Medina writes, are historical texts; when we read them we are reading history.
