A unified Lagrangian formulation for solid and fluid dynamics and its possibility for modelling submarine landslides and their consequences
X. Zhang, E. Oñate, S. Galindo, J. Bleyer

Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg., (2018). (prepint) Vol. 343, pp. 314-338

Abstract
Consequences of submarine landslides include both their direct impact on offshore infrastructure, such as subsea electric cables and gas/oil pipelines, and their indirect impact via the generated tsunami. The simulation of submarine landslides and their consequences has been a long-standing challenge majorly due to the strong coupling among sliding sediments, seawater and infrastructure as well as the induced extreme material deformation during the complete process. In this paper, we propose a unified finite element formulation for solid and fluid dynamics based on a generalised Hellinger–Reissner variational principle so that the coupling of fluid and solid can be achieved naturally in a monolithic fashion. In order to tackle extreme deformation problems, the resulting formulation is implemented within the framework of the particle finite element method. The correctness and robustness of the proposed unified formulation for single-phase problems (e.g. fluid dynamics problems involving Newtonian/Non-Newtonian flows and solid dynamics problems) as well as for multi-phase problems (e.g. two-phase flows) are verified against benchmarks. Comparisons are carried out against numerical and analytical solutions or experimental data that are available in the literature. Last but not least, the possibility of the proposed approach for modelling submarine landslides and their consequences is demonstrated via a numerical experiment of an underwater slope stability problem. It is shown that the failure and post-failure processes of the underwater slope can be predicted in a single simulation with its direct threat to a nearby pipeline and indirect threat by generating tsunami being estimated as well.

I. Morales, G. Cadena

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 61

Abstract
The intention of this work is to present the design and implementation of a communication strategy based on the use of social networks on the web 2.0, in order to promote alternative tourism with indigenous identity. This project has been developed by students of the majors in Communication, Marketing, and Animation and Digital Art, under the coordination of two professors of the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Cuernavaca, who have applied the pedagogic model known as Learning - Service. The social networks and this pedagogic model have allowed the establishment of effective channels of communication between the members of the indigenous communities of Amatlán de Quetzalcóatl and San Sebastian Cuentepec in the State of Morelos, Mexico, and the academy. This strategy contributes to the strengthening of the collective memory, stimulates social entrepreneurship, and promotes the exercise of a responsible tourism, committed to the sustainability of these indigenous communities.

M. Dávila

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 69

Abstract
This article proposes to analyze the representation of race, class and moral in television phenomena “Magaly TeVe” and “Al fondo hay sitio” from an anthropological glance of the television, and understanding their communicative, discursive and social dimensions. On one hand, after analyzing the discourse of “Magaly TeVe”, it was easy to see that the why and how the success of the communication strategy for this television phenomenon closely imposes moral and socially shared codes, and a configured mode of organization, relationship and interaction already validated in our social fabric. On the other hand, after analyzing the discourse of “Al fondo hay sitio”, it was easy to see that we have confused, naively, inclusion with redemption within a framework of convergence space-time of two contradictory cultural codes that permanently relate and interact from guidelines of race and class that function as semantic cores that shape, on the other hand, a determined social relationship and interaction of power and symbolic violence between his characters.

El Mercurio and Labor Press: Two journalistic approaches for building a Nation
F. Inostroza

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 72

Abstract
The media helps to symbolically build the nation by its effect, mainly on culture and, through it, on the different sides and areas of the citizens’ activities. However, the means vary. Here we review and compare what was done by El Mercurio de Santiago with its first and canonic editorial in 1900, to what was done by another canonical publication, this time a Chilean labor press. The latter was written by one of the dignitaries of the Chilean syndicalism, Luis Emilio Recabarren. The first kind of press indirectly talks to the readers about the Chile expected, whether on the second kind the message comes in an explicit and direct way, which leaves nothing to open interpretation. Our work is about two different ways to build a nation, which depend on the characteristics of both media and on the relevant style to their target public. Nevertheless, their styles are not simply a rhetoric issue.

Televisions and Democracies: Mass Media and Web TV in Externado University of Colombia
F. Real

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 74

Abstract
The understanding of democracy as a political organization form, has in many scenarios the debate on how pure is in a representative form and how effective is when is “pure” or direct democracy, as well as thought for the “polis” or places with an specific geographic location, contrary to the Saskia Sassen concept of “global cities”. From this discussion, we can address the television as a twentieth century mass media, funded and operated by governments or private companies, exercising symbolic power in a nation, as seen by the John B. Thompson power forms in modern societies, and as an organizational form that clearly exemplifies a representative democracy from the choice of themes, characters, speech and even workflow technology. The Web 2.0 TV not only allows this massmediatic TV to migrate to a ubiquitous environment, flexible and powerful (that of cloud computing and mobility) but invites the audience to be part of as a production crew of this new television, which workflow is similar to the TV of the twentieth century, and to the new workflows purposed by major Internet players in the second decade of the XXI century. In Externado University this phenomena has been investigated thorough an empirical and intense way the migrated to Internet television, with a workflow similar to the 20th century massive TV, but with the intervention of actors (prosumer-students) in a more flexible and open way than the “representative” television. In addition of this, the arrival of Google Hangouts, which advocates for an opening to the end user with web skills, and social networks as a potential audience, which may also be involved in the production, the future of the TV in this century becomes by definition not only democratic, but also “direct” about this political organization form.

L. Vásquez

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 66

Abstract
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can be defined as a responsible way of doing business and the impact these operations have in the economy, the society and the environment. Nowadays, companies use different avenues to communicate CSR initiatives. Social Media platforms are one of the important resources to communicate CSR. This paper performs an empirical analysis of frequency, content, and feedback of CSR messages presented on social platforms (Facebook and Twitter) of 50 companies from the Fortune Magazine. Results showed that in spite of the great resources available for CSR online communication, companies are still in its infancy in promoting a two-way communication process. In order to resolve this problem, this paper proposes a theoretical framework for CSR communication through social media.

Academy and Post-industrial Journalism. From Massive Culture to Dismassification and Fragmentation
D. Mazzone

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 75

Abstract
In the academic careers of subfields like Journalism, the communicational field is at a crisis caused by the gap between theory accumulation and knowledge reproduction. Thirty years ago, Verón and Martín-Barbero proposed a new approach, displacing analysis of the media to mediations. In 2008, Scolari started focusing in the hypermediations, consisting of forwards, hybridization and contaminations. In 2009, Castells put emphasis on the observation of social transformations provoked by mass auto-communication. While we must think in dismassification and fragmentation, obsolete notions like massive culture or cultural industry resist, reducing the profession to a poor monologue with little incidence in the informative management. The subject of this paper is to discuss the factors that disturb the connection between two academic plans necessarily interdependent.

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 70

Abstract
The journalistic images are subject to debate and controversy: from the girl of Trang Bang to the most recently images of women and female kids during the earthquake and the cholera epidemic in Haiti in 2010, comments on the symbolic and communicative value of the pictured subject keep occurring. The press images awarded as “photo of the year” by World Press Photo in the period between 2000 and 2011 represent international conflicts and disasters where the main characters are mostly women and children, plenty of drama and pathos. The axes of the discussion are the main photography situation on the daily journal front page, against the right to privacy, the iconic representation of the sick people and victims of disasters and the social discussion through the network.

Towards a state-of-the-art of the current researches on disinformation / misinformation
L. Rodríguez

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 65

Abstract
The concepts of disinformation and misinformation have almost as many meanings as the number of authors who have treated them. Considered from the semiotic and psychological point of view, disinformation and misinformation seem to be the result of the inadequacy of what is communicated to the reality of an object. The focus of both Political Science and Public Relations is set on disinformation / misinformation as an example of how masses and public opinion can be manipulated, while the vision of Communication Sciences and Information considers such behaviours as natural features of the media in a clearly oversaturated communications ecosystem. This paper describes the different approaches to the topic of disinformation/misinformation made in the above mentioned scientific disciplines.

Abstract
The statistics of the major international health organizations, shows that most affected by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are young, which also can have consequences that affect the rest of their lives. An audience study to understand how a selected sample of university students construct ideas about these diseases, how these notions are reflected in their sexual practice, and what sources prefer to learn on the subject, reveals that traditional media are no longer within of the main areas in which they obtain information or share ideas about STIs. Neither their schools provide reliable information on the subject. They prefer face-to-face communication, and the Internet and social networks to the extent that allow interactivity and dialogue. They favor a playful perspective as well as practical and useful information.

The Opera in Peruvian Press. Characteristics and analysis of musical information
P. Cumpén

Abstract
The increased cultural activity in Peru within the last years requires a media complement that contributes to advance in this sector and educate the public. In addition: culture, education and economy are key factors for social development and media must assume their responsibility by not just emitting informative messages, but also instructive, critic and orientated ones. According to academic and operatic music specialists and professionals, cultural journalism in Peru is not fully developed: in many situations great importance events are omitted and in others only trivial aspects are published. In that sense, to address such issues information professionals require a constant preparation and a high sense of ethics so they build a solid section with useful information for the public.

The sacrificial topic in Peruvian Sports Journalism’s Discourse. The case of the soccer player Paolo Guerrero
A. Portella

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 48

Abstract
This research explores the discursive construction of the quality of sacrifice of the soccer player Paolo Guerrero in printed Peruvian Sport Journalism during the Copa America Argentina 2011 and the World Cup Brazil 2014 Qualifiers. To do that, various strategies used in the newspaper articles are identified in order to represent the sacrifice as a supposed essence of our national identity. It argues that the exaltation of sacrificial worship through the figure of Guerrero constructs a “must-be” for the Peruvian nation, since this alleged sacrifice is always made for the nation and their entire community’s interests. The critical spirit of this work is to locate, within the journalistic texts referred, the fissures and paradoxes that are hidden in their own textures, so this essentialist ideology can be denature and propose a change of paradigm in this type of journalistic genre that is so popular in our country.

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 55

Abstract
The communication between organizations and their stakeholders has evolved as the waves of competitive challenges that have marked technological innovations (Kanter, 2006). Since 2006 it has become necessary not only to increase interaction particularly via social media, but also to incorporate aspects of organizational responsibility and its foundations in values (Kotler, Kartajava, & Setiawan, 2011) which directly influence in building its image (Capriotti, 2009) and reputation (Villafañe, 2004). This article analyzes the image and reputation of some private organizations in Mexico through the study of the activity they have in this social media. The results of this research suggest some conclusions regarding the importance of strategy in the use of Twitter as a basis for building the reputation of the organizations which must recognize the communication as a two-way process that accounts for interaction processes and mutual influence over time.

The following article is related to the analysis of the family album as a cultural element and its progressive transition to the digital version aimed at approaching to the micro-scenarios where take place the daily events of the individuals and is born the interpersonal communication with current technological constraints. This communication is also reflected in the album like the archives of the individual mindsets and experiences. Learning more about their contexts, -most of them like archetypes-, what occurs to the persons and their experiences makes it possible to deeply understand communication on the social level taking into account the complexity that involves the irruption of technology inside the private spaces, becoming the family album the key element where tradition and modernity converge. Tradition, considered as the cultural apex, evokes the identity, memories and death whilst modernity involves a channel and a communicative message subject to changes caused by the technological advance, conditioning the quality of the communicative process as well as having an effect on the lifestyle and culture of the people. In sum, this approach is also appropriate to define the function of photography inside the cell of a society where images play a prominent role.

M. Orriaga

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 27

Abstract
This investigation led proposes the articulation, in a conception as a whole, of a new theoretical model based on the stablishment of three functions of Public Relations that should be present in public and private organizations, that are, the relational function, the communicational function and the synergy function. This is an exploratory study, non-experimental, descriptive, comparative, and from an intracultural mode that took a sample of twenty executive officers of Public Relations and related, from public and private organizations in Peru. Among the main results it was found a high level of management in human relations in private organizations in Lima, but a low level in other cities of the country. These high and low levels were found in the management of the public controversy in organizations of Lima and provinces, respectively. Likewise, a high level of the subfunction unidirectional oversized message was found in private organizations in Lima, and rather low in provinces.

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 41

Abstract
In Chiapas, border state in the south of Mexico, in 2002 began to emerge free radios, also known as illegal or “pirates”. In 2014, work 130 of these radio stations, mostly religious (68), followed by commercial (41), community radio (11), zapatista radio (5), municipal radio (3) and partisan radio (2). The objective of this work was to identify these radio stations, describing their programmatic bar and forms of operation. Through interviews and monitoring programming, mainly, was able to understand the complex network of free radio communication, which operates in this border state, which has the greatest number of stations of this type in Mexico. Although 130 free radios were located, growing dynamics that have registered, suggests that they will continue to multiply and that it is urgent to know them, to establish mechanisms for dialogue and negotiation with the authorities. In Chiapas, the radio free covers with their emissions almost the entirety of the state territory, in some places, such as San Cristobal de Las Casas, we are experiencing a saturation in the quadrant, while in other regions, particularly La Sierra, the free radio is alone.

Abstract
Interculturality, as an idea and as a fact, so present since the last decades of the last century, because of the increasing domestic and international migrations worldwide, entails conceptions which come to be too diverse as the prevailing cultures at the regions of exchange. These differences favor some viewpoints and political interests, disregarding others. This obstructs the generation of shared mainstream. And Latin America holds a singular position therein.

Ruptures’ Weight. Access to ICT by rural teachers and school path
E. Carniglia

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 30

Abstract
A situated perspective of access to ambivalent ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in the country indicates that any digital transition involves significant breaks of everyday experience. This text analyzes the appropriation of digital devices by rural teachers that installs a certain historical trajectory of the school as an intervener status in the digitization of education. These appropriations represent tense interpenetrations between individual attributes and contextual conditions of access to computers, mobile phones and networks in a techno-cultural environment with increasing acceptance of ICT. The fieldwork identifies historical features of the rural school and brands of the institutional trajectory significant for teachers who appropriate ICT in the classroom and the school. The analyzed testimonies correspond to semi-structured interviews with teachers in public elementary schools from a department of the province of Córdoba (Argentina) with extensive and commercial agriculture.

3D numerical simulation of free-surface Bingham Fluids interacting with structures using the PFEM
A. Franci, X. Zhang

Papers Repository of the International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) (2019). 12

Abstract
This paper presents a purely Lagrangian approach for the 3D simulation of Bingham free-surface uids and their interaction with deformable solid structures. In the proposed numerical strategy, the fluid is handled using the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) to tackle the issues resulting from extreme changes of geometry, such as mesh distortion and free-surface evolution. Additionally, the Papanastasiou model is employed as a regularization technique to overcome the computational difficulties associated with the classical Bingham model. The solid structure, on the other hand, is represented by the hypoelastic constitutive model and simulated using the conventional Finite Element Method (FEM). The coupling between the fluid and the structure is achieved via a monolithic approach, called Unified formulation. Several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the correctness and the robustness of the proposed formulation, in 2D and in 3D. Special attention is devoted to the analysis of the convergence behavior of the proposed computational framework, the effect of the regularization on the numerical results and the 3D effects. Moreover, detailed comparisons between the simulated results and experimental data are performed so that the concerned problems and results can serve as benchmarks.

Dynamic modelling of retrogressive landslides with emphasis on the role of clay sensitivity
X. Zhang, S. Sloan, E. Oñate

Int. Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics (2018). Vol. 42, pp. 1806-1822 (preprint)

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed numerical study of the retrogressive failure of landslides in sensitive clays. The dynamic modelling of the landslides is carried out using a novel continuum approach, the particle finite element method, complemented with an elastoviscoplastic constitutive model. The multiwedge failure mode in the collapse is captured successfully, and the multiple retrogressive failures that have been widely observed in landslides in sensitive clays are reproduced with the failure mechanism, the kinematics, and the deposition being discussed in detail. Special attention has been paid to the role of the clay sensitivity on each retrogressive failure as well as on the final retrogression distance and the final run‐ out distance via parametric studies. Moreover, the effects of the viscosity of sensitive clays on the failure are also investigated for different clay sensitivities.

Temporal transitions in COPD severity stages within the GOLD 2017 classification system
C. Soriano

Respiratory Medicine (2018). 142: 81–85

Abstract
Background: The stability of the new GOLD 2017 COPD staging is unknown, as well as the frequency of individual transitions in COPD stages beyond one year. Methods: All COPD participants in the CHAIN cohort were re-analysed according to GOLD 2017 up to five years of follow-up. Their individual changes within COPD stages were aggregated into cohort-wide Markov chains; group stability was evaluated using joinpoint regression. Results: At baseline, 959 COPD patients were distributed according to GOLD 2017 stages as 37.7% in A, 38.3% B, 8.2% C, and 15.7% D. The group proportion of patients in each stage was maintained from years one to five. However, we found significant changes between stages at the individual patient level, especially in the more severe stages. The probability of a patient remaining in the same GOLD 2017 COPD stage for two consecutive years ranged during the five years of follow-up for stage C from 16% to 31% per year, while for D from 23% to 43% per year, indicating substantial variation either increasing or decreasing severity for the vast majority of patients. Conclusions: We conclude that group stability observed in COPD staging according to GOLD 2017 recommendations is paired with a large variability at the individual patient level.

Through time, Journalism has faced changes about the emergence of new Media, but this process also involves issues of narrative and new audience management. So, adapting to the new environment becomes in a necessity, and specifically in political journalism is where it becomes more evident, because the type of information transmitted has great value to society. In this way, this research shows to transmedia storytelling as the best ally of journalism today for the distribution of news, especially political news. This communication model, because of his spreadability, multiplicity and drillability nature, will raise the level of audience participation in each media that transmit the newsworthy event.

In the last two centuries, human society went through radical changes in the way they communicates. Consequence of constantly technology innovation, adverstising became into a main character inside this invigorated context, where all the audiovisual narratives forms evolve to create messages that reach the target attention. But more than commercial objectives, the social message has been developed in order to change attitudes in the entire population on the ad campaigns. These social messages produce some positive thoughts around important issues in society such us health, ecology, education, human rights, etc. and also generated several communicational strategies that leads to their own way for creating, producing or printing/posting/airing advertising which are important and reknown because of its common interests and strategies for narrative construction.

TV News Channels in Peru. Analyzing Information and Investigation
P. Cumpén

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 19

Abstract
TV News Channels in Peru exists since late nineties. This kind of media appeared as a public necessity because, in that moment, news coverage was coming from TV stations that negotiated its editorial terms with Fujimori and Montesinos. The second TV News Channel in Peru was Canal N (the first -Cable Canal de Noticias- also had negotiated with https Montesinos). This TV station was founded in 1999 and was the only one that presented balanced and impartial approaches to their audience in that time on TV. Since 2010, other channels have emerged, such as Willax TV, ATV+ Noticias, RPP TV and TV Perú 7.3. Recently, Capital TV and Exitosa appeared as an alternative space to present their radio news programmes but in an audiovisual format. Therefore this editorial diversity invites us to analyse in detail their approaches and contents. In this article, we will review the coverage of Rodolfo Orellana capture and the report about Óscar López Meneses’ irregular police safeguard, a man linked to Vladimiro Montesinos.

Appropriations, Needs and Rights of Radio Communication in the North of Argentina
E. Venier

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 17

Abstract
Practices that link people with communication devices can be thought of as responses to needs of social groups that give rise to different ways of doing, thinking and managing communication. In this articulation between public, media and communication policies, a way of recognizing the right to communication would express. However, the demand by which the need for communication as a right is expressed not necessarily wear out the range of possible forms of communication rights nor the ways to address them. This paper proposes to test, in the case of Argentina, the arguments supporting the idea that current policies of public communication are based upon the principles of pluralism and democracy, and also it is possible to show a variety of forms of appropriation and use of means under diverse needs. It is essential for communication policies and development of diversity to recognize the multiplicity of symbolic needs and their ways of satisfying them.

Abstract
This article is focused on the use of the news sources by Print Media in incident & crime reports. Official sources and agencies have a greater presence in analyzed newspapers. The Police is the major official and specialized source, and EFE Agency is the mostly quoted by journalists. The unofficial sources more often used by reporters are, in first place, the unidentified or confidential sources (commonly quoted generically as “according to consulted sources”) following the family and neighborhood sources. Graphic sources are becoming increasingly important in crime & incident reports and come mostly from photographers working for the newspapers and agencies. Reporters employ a large number of sources inadequately identified.

The Action in Colombia’s Fiction Cinematographic Works, before Peace Talks (1960-2011)
J. Botache

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 15

Abstract
The presence of “Conceptual Network of the Semantics of Action” components (Ricoeur, 2000) will be denoted in a large sample of cinematographic works of fiction (ie, based on the staging) previously made to dialogue to end the conflict, taking as a starting point the sixties (when insurgent groups were emerge). It was considered only films with narrative instances and ostensibly Colombian stories and with at least 70 minutes long, time required for being legally considered a long film in Colombia.

Jane Austen and C. S. Lewis: from Literature to Cinema. Analysis of Transposition
M. Sarapura

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 14

Abstract
The following is a proposal of an analysis of the transposition of literature to film of the novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and the essay A Grief Observed by C. S. Lewis. The first aim in both cases is to delve into the new contributions of the latest film version of Austin’s novel and the qualities and characteristics of the film version of the C. S. Lewis note pad, based on the theoretical contributions of such authors as Gerard Genette, Geoffrey Wagner, Brian Mcfarlane, among others. The second purpose is geared to the recognition of the exchange between film and literary language as a representative process of today society. The fact that the adaptations, historically seen with great skepticism, are now continually made and welcomed by the public, calls for a review and deepening of the studies made on that matter in order to know the current situation of the relationship between film and literature, its creative possibilities, audience expectations, prejudices and misgivings of experts, etc.

Persuasive Television Advertising in Bakery Sector
M. Lazo

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 2

Abstract
In recent years, a great diversity of new products has emerged in the sector of children’s pastries, but there are others that have long been in our daily lives. In spite of being more those that have failed than those that are maintained, it is crucial to analyze how its advertising has evolved over time, knowing how to adapt to the tastes of different generations of consumers. There has clearly been a movement of concern and awareness among the customers and consumers about the ingredients that make up the food, and because of the change in attitude and the proliferation of consumer rights associations, there has been an evolution in this type of products, both at the production level and at the communicative level. Through the content analysis of the messages from their spots and a discussion analysis, a comparative study of the same between the years of the eighties and the last years has been made to see their evolution.

Banalization of Cultural Journalism. Media Show and Cultural Content in Peruvian press
T. Atarama-Rojas, K. Ahumada

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 9

Abstract
Cultural Journalism is one of the most important fields of information in social life. Since its inception, it has been linked to the written press and to the world of sciences, arts and letters, and today, it has become a wide space of varied topics, which includes not only the most relevant events of the cultural world, but also those of entertainment and media show. Given this scenario, this research seeks to demonstrate, through a content analysis of three of the most important national newspapers in the peruvian written press (El Comercio, La República, Perú21) that cultural contents have been replaced by questions of “farandula”, gossip and mediatic facts, contributing to an increasingly negative meaning of entertainment journalism and the trivialization of true Cultural Journalism.

Our tool is marketing subject to the incipient cultural market that is booming and that does not cease to grow and that increasingly welcomes diverse sectors of the population thanks to all the disparity of offers. This market or cultural marketing we analyze from an advertising sphere, within one of the “4 P’s” of Marketing Mix, promotion, secured with examples in museums. It is a question of placing the work or artistic piece as the axis of all this network, through which the voracious market of buying and selling of the art, cultural terrain close and distant at the same time by their ignorance and unreasonable prices. This language of art in museums is approaching the society thanks to the publicity and tries to mitigate this dualism society-museums, taking advantage of the art to attract an audience more profane or on the contrary, strengthen those who demand culture.

Communication and Education. Demand Analysis for Bachelor’s Degree Graduates in Organizational Social Communication
A. Gordillo

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 7

Abstract
Reflection “Communication-Education” is not limited to the analysis of practices, teaching-learning methodologies, the role of subjects in the dyad or the ideological issue that crosses the educational policies, but discuss the triad “teacher-knowledge-student” every time in a historical context. The binomial referred should also be enriched by scientific inquiry, which accounts for (among many other aspects) effective job placement of professionals (conceived as the fruit of this educational process of “Communication-Education”) in the immediate organizational environment of the higher education institutions. With this objective in view, an exploratory research was carried out (as a first and necessary step) to know more about the demand of social communicators in organizations (public, private or mixed) in the city of Chilecito, province of La Rioja (Argentina), an area which National University of Chilecito is inserted in period 2013-2014. Organizations are areas of professional intervention for Social Communicators with Institutional orientation: it is a wide and complex area of socio-cultural, administrative, economic, financial, political and ideological realities where they can deploy versatility of the competences and skills acquired during their degree training. On the other hand, investigating characteristics of the demand of these professionals constitutes a valuable resource at the moment of recognizing the feasibility and suitability of educational offer. These aspects have been the main motivations that have guided the development of the present paper.

Pseudo-understanding. An Agreement between Media and its Customers
C. Franco

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 6

Abstract
A relationship is established between the media and its clients that is not explained by appealing to the law of causes and effects. It could be said rather that it is a dialogic relationship, deeply rooted in the logic of supply and demand. In this text, from the relationship proposed by Heidegger (and that is also dialogical) between understanding and pseudo-understanding, speech and gossip (and referring to the notion of cultural industry), it is suggested that the often fallacious character of the exercise of information is determined not only by the means and interests they hold, but by those to whom we have called their clients.

This article considers that the social function of journalism is based on the belief in the journalistic objectivity, true illusio which involves a set of explicit and implicit rules that structure and define this social game. For this reason, we propose to investigate the processes of socialization and subjectivation that imply the incorporation of the belief in the journalistic objectivity and a series of mechanisms intended for production. In this sense, and since we postulate the need to reinstate the agent of the practices, in theoretical methodological link the perspective of relational sociology with the journalistic experiences reconstructed on the basis of the experiences of the journalists interviewed in our research.

The Body in Cognitive Linguistics. Conceptual Metaphor and Embodiment
D. Gonzalez

correspondencias & análisis (2018). 4

Abstract
The present work approaches the way in which Cognitive Linguistics addresses the issue of the body in relation to language, which is understood as a correlate of thought. One of the axes of language addressing that characterizes this theoretical approach is the notion of conceptual metaphor postulated by Lakoff and Johnson (2001). These authors conceive metaphor as a phenomenon of thought that is reflected in language, is omnipresent in everyday life and allows the structuring of experience. The experience to which they refer is essentially corporal. The influence of body experience in conceptualizing is called embodiment or embodied mind (Lakoff, 1987: 12).

Abstract
The report “Journalism’ students in Chile: Perception of the profession, their future work field and the performance of the media” (Mellado & cols., 2015), which includes their perspective about career field, evaluation and use of the media, threats and future of journalism, and ethics, among others, is the starting point of an exploratory investigation to account the ethical perception of journalism students, against controversial practices and their relation to join the labor market. Based on the analysis, getting deeper in the findings of this report and the contrast with the curricula of the participating journalism schools, the students’ vision is extrapolated from the reality observed in their first professional experience, based on the perception of the media editors. In this way, this report tries to determine how the student’s ethical perception is put to the test in his first professional experience.

Analysis of post-tensioned structures by means of a constitutive serial-parallel rule of mixtures
S. Jiménez, L. Barbu, S. Oller

Monograph CIMNE (2018). M178

Abstract
The main objective of this thesis is to present a novel methodology for the analysis of post-tensioned concrete structures, based on the potential offered by the use of the Serial-Parallel Rule of Mixtures when modelling composite materials. The advantages of this methodology are studied in comparison to the available approaches, i.e. the formulation proposed by the standards used in the design of structures and the mechanism used in numerical simulation based on the finite element method (FEM). The Serial-Parallel Rule of Mixtures allows the modelization of each component material in depth, working as a constitutive model manager in order to simulate the composite material being studied. The prestressed concrete is modelled as a composite material with long fibres where the fibre orientation is defined by the steel tendon direction. Therefore, the most suitable constitutive model can be used in each case. In the present thesis this is: for the matrix - concrete an isotropic damage model and for the fibre - steel a viscoelasticity model, achieving an extraordinary accuracy in the micro-scale. The analysis is based on the FEM, which combined with the Serial-Parallel Rule of Mixtures theory allows the study of large-scale structures, taking into account the specific geometric requirements of the construction. Three application examples are included which are used for validating the methodology and the potential of this approach. The first two cases are two isostatic beams that allow the comparison with the results obtained through the study using analytical methods. Finally, the third case shows the results obtained recently for the analysis of a Benchmark, in which the behaviour of a mock-up of a reactor containment building has been studied.

La simplificación en ingeniería, ventajas e inconvenientes.
F. Zarate, J. Cuellar, A. Regalado

Revista Mexicana de Métodos Numéricos (2018). Vol. 2, 1

Abstract
Siempre que se realiza una simplificación, se suele cometer un error asociado, la capacidad del ingeniero en cuantificar o poder compensar dicho error con coeficientes de seguridad u otros mecanismos permite adoptar dichas simplificaciones en la mayoría de las situaciones. Sin embargo, no en todos los casos es posible aplicar dichas simplificaciones en los cálculos. Los procedimientos y programas de cálculo son muy diferentes en ambos casos. El presente trabajo muestra dos ejemplos de cálculo numérico asociado a una misma obra. Mientras que el primero tiene como finalidad el dimensionamiento y verificación de la capacidad estructural, el segundo pone de manifiesto la necesidad de considerar en detalle aspectos que han sido obviados o simplificados a fin de dar una respuesta adecuada. Los códigos usados son muy distintos, en el primer caso, es posible aplicar códigos comerciales, mientras que en el segundo es necesario usar programas diseñados para la investigación.

Analysis of time dependent problems using exponential basis functions
B. Movahedian, B. Boroomand

(2011). Research Report, Nº PI364

Abstract
In this research we present a method based on using Exponential Basis Functions (EBFs) to solve a class of time dependent engineering problems. The solution is first approximated by a summation of EBFs satisfying the differential equation and then completed by satisfying the time dependent boundary conditions as well as the initial conditions through a collocation method. This can be performed by considering two approaches. In the first one the solution is split into three parts, i.e. a homogeneous solution obtained by homogeneous boundary conditions, a homogeneous solution obtained by non-homogeneous solution and finally a particular solution induced by source terms. In the second approach the solution is split into two parts, i.e. a homogeneous solution and a particular solution induced by source terms. The two approaches are then employed to construct a time marching algorithm for the solution of problems over a long period of time. We shall present the details of the application of the two approaches introduced to some mathematical and engineering problems. The details of the time marching algorithm proposed are explained. Several problems are solved to show the capabilities of the approaches used. Some benchmark problems are also devised and solved for further studies. It is shown that the one of the introduced approaches is capable of solving a class of problems with moving boundaries.

Exponential basis functions in solution of incompressible fluid problems with moving free surfaces
S. Zandi, B. Boroomand, S. Soghrati

(2011). Research Report, Nº PI363

Abstract
In this report, a new simple meshless method is presented for the solution of incompressible inviscid fluid flow problems with moving boundaries. A Lagrangian formulation established on pressure, as a potential equation, is employed. In this method, the approximate solution is expressed by a linear combination of exponential basis functions (EBFs), with complex-valued exponents, satisfying the governing equation. Constant coefficients of the solution series are evaluated through point collocation on the domain boundaries via a complex discrete transformation technique. The numerical solution is performed in a time marching approach using an implicit algorithm. In each time step, the governing equation is solved at the beginning and the end of the step, with the aid of an intermediate geometry. The use of EBFs helps to find boundary velocities with high accuracy leading to a precise geometry updating. The developed Lagrangian meshless algorithm is applied to variety of linear and nonlinear benchmark problems. Non-linear sloshing fluids in rigid rectangular two-dimensional basins are particularly addressed.

Paralelización del código Stampack v7.10
W. Castelló, F. Flores

(2011). Research Report, Nº PI362

Abstract
El objetivo principal del presente informe es mostrar las mejoras en la performance del código Stampack, cuando se lo emplea en conjunto con OpenMP en máquinas del tipo multi-núcleo (ej.: Intel Core2 Duo, Intel Core2 Quad, etc) o multi-thread (ej.: Intel Core i3, i5, i7, etc). Esta última tecnología en los procesadores (multi-thread) permite aumentar de manera importante la potencia de cálculo, dado que además de contar con más de un procesador, permite aumentar los hilos (threads) de tareas simultaneas de cada núcleo. Por ejemplo un procesador Intel Core i3, puede tener dos procesadores y realizar dos tareas simultaneas por cada procesador, lo cual es equivalente a tener una máquina con cuatro procesadores. En el caso del procesador Intel Core i7 empleado en este trabajo cuenta con cuatro núcleos y la posibilidad de realizar dos tareas simultaneas por núcleo, lo cual equivale a tener ocho procesadores. La paralelización del software Stampack se ha realizado siguiendo la idea básica de modificar o intervenir mínimamente los archivos fuente originales de la versión serial. Bajo estas condiciones, se ha realizado un análisis de tiempos para detectar zonas del código que representen un importante porcentaje del tiempo total de cálculo. Para finalizar se debe destacar que el software paralelizado debe funcionar también de manera correcta cuando es ejecutado en ordenadores con un solo procesador, de manera que la versión paralela debe ser compatible en su totalidad con la versión serial original del código Stampack.

Possibilities of the particle finite element method for fluid-soil-structure interaction problems
E. Oñate, M. Celigueta, S. Idelsohn, F. Salazar, B. Suarez

(2011). Research Report, Nº PI357

Abstract
We present some developments in the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) for analysis of complex coupled problems in mechanics involving fluid-soil-structure interaction (FSSI). The PFEM uses an updated Lagrangian description to model the motion of nodes (particles) in both the fluid and the solid domains (the later including soil/rock and structures). A mesh connects the particles (nodes) defining the discretized domain where the governing equations for each of the constituent materials are solved as in the standard FEM. The stabilization for dealing with an incompressibility continuum is introduced via the finite calculus (FIC) method. An incremental iterative scheme for the solution of the non linear transient coupled FSSI problem is described. The procedure to model frictional contact conditions and material erosion at fluid-solid and solid-solid interfaces is described. We present several examples of application of the PFEM to solve FSSI problems such as the motion of rocks by water streams, the erosion of a river bed adjacent to a bridge foundation, the stability of breakwaters and constructions sea waves and the study of landslides.

El ciclo de las ideas en la I+D+I

(2011). Research Report, Nº PI354

Abstract
Cuando se habla de la investigación, el desarrollo tecnológico y la innovación (I+D+I en siglas, que yo escribo todas en mayúsculas [1]) es frecuente confundir fines, medios y responsabilidades. La última moda parece que es exigir que los grupos que investigan en Universidades y Centros de I+D, sean "rentables". Es decir, se pretende que su investigación se financie con créditos públicos, que los resultados de la misma se implementen en el mercado rápidamente y que los beneficios de su comercialización sirvan para devolver los créditos y para refinanciar esos grupos. También parece que se echa de menos que las empresas investiguen más, es decir, que inviertan recursos en descubrir nuevos conocimientos. El límite caricaturesco de esas aspiraciones sería pretender que las empresas produjeran premios Nobel y que un grupo universitario estuviera entre los 10 primeros puestos en el ranking de la actividad económica de un país. Ciertamente, esto no es imposible, pero es altamente improbable. Lo contrario desgraciadamente es más frecuente. Es decir, que los investigadores universitarios en su afán por la supervivencia económica de sus grupos, descuiden sus tareas investigadoras y que las empresas, confundiendo lo que es un Departamento Técnico o de Proyectos, con un Departamento de Innovación, se consideren autosuficientes y menosprecien u obvien el contacto con el mundo de la I+D real.

On the use of exponential basis functions in the analysis of shear deformable laminated plates
M. Shahbazi, B. Boroomand, S. Soghrati

(2011). Research Report, Nº PI353

Abstract
In this report, we introduce a meshfree approach for static analysis of isotropic/orthotropic crossply laminated plates with symmetric/non-symmetric layers. Classical, first and third order shear deformation plate theories are employed to perform the analyses. In this method, the solution is first split into homogenous and particular parts and then the homogenous part is approximated by the summation of an appropriately selected set of exponential basis functions (EBFs) with unknown coefficients. In the homogenous solution the EBFs are restricted to satisfy the governing differential equation. The particular solution is derived using a similar approach and another series of EBFs. The imposition of the boundary conditions and determination of the unknown coefficients are performed by a collocation method through a discrete transformation technique. The solution method allows us to obtain semi-analytical solution of plate problems with various shapes and boundary conditions. The solutions of several benchmark plate problems with various geometries are presented to validate the results.

(2012). Research Report, Nº PI375

Abstract
This work, conducted at CIMNE under ALEF project task 1.2.3, presents an investigation about the potential capabilities of neural networks to assist simulation campaigns. The discrete gust response of an aircraft has been chosen as a typical problem in which the determination of the critical loads requires exploring a large parameter space. A very simple model has been used to compute the aerodynamic loads. This allows creating a large database while at the same time retaining some of the fundamental properties of the problem. Using this comprehensive dataset the effects of network structure, training method and sampling strategy on the level of approximation over the complete domain have been investigated. The capabilities of the neural network to predict the peak load as well as the critical values of the design parameters have also been assessed. The applicability of neural networks to the combination of multi-fidelity results is also explored.

Abstract
A new bilinear 4-noded quadrilateral element (called QLRZ) for the analysis of composite laminated and sandwich plates/shells based on the refined zigzag theory (RZT) proposed by Tessler et al. [1] is presented. The element has seven kinematic variables per node. Shear locking is avoided by introducing an assumed linear shear strain field. The performance of the element is studied in several examples where the reference solution is the 3D finite element analysis using 20-noded hexahedral elements. Finally, the capability for capturing delamination effects is analyzed.

Puente Tensairity para pasarela peatonal en el PMT-UPC de Castelldefels (737-PRO-CA-5385)
C. Estruch, B. Suárez, J. Marcipar

(2012). Research Report, Nº PI380

Abstract
Actualmente el espacio formado por el “Parc Mediterrani de la Tecnologia” y el Campus Universitario de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (PMT-UPC) de Castelldefels está en expansión. Es por ello que se está pensando en la construcción de dos pasarelas peatonales para cruzar la laguna de laminación de la “Olla del Rei”, conectando de esta forma el PMT-UPC con el paseo del Pitort. Dado que el PMT-UPC pretende ser un referente ambiental y tecnológico, se plantea como alternativa óptima la construcción de una pasarela peatonal ligera diseñada mediante una novedosa tecnología neumática conocida y patentada con el nombre de Tensairity®. Las estructuras ligeras son un reto para el ingeniero estructural y un importante avance hacia una arquitectura sostenible. Tensairity® es un concepto que hace referencia a estructuras neumáticas ligeras basadas en una sutil interacción entre cables, elementos de compresión, membranas y aire a baja presión. En Tensairity®, compresión y tracción están físicamente separados por una membrana de tejido hinchada a baja presión, el fin de la cual es, por un lado pretensar el elemento de tracción, y por el otro estabilizar el elemento de compresión frente al pandeo. Esto permite llevar al material hasta su límite plástico, tanto para tracción como para compresión, dando como resultado vigas que pueden ser varios órdenes de magnitud más ligeras que las vigas metálicas convencionales, manteniendo siempre su misma capacidad de carga. Aplicaciones ideales para esta tecnología son cerchas, estructuras con grandes luces, estructuras temporales, pasarelas peatonales o incluso estructuras de despliegue rápido para casos de emergencia, entre otras. La pasarela peatonal objeto de este proyecto está compuesta por dos partes bien diferenciadas, una pasarela Tensairity® que cruza la laguna de laminación y dos estructuras de madera a modo de embarcaderos, una a cada lado de la pasarela y donde ésta se apoya hasta alcanzar los caminos que bordean el trazado de la laguna. La pasarela Tensairity® está formada por dos vigas Tensairity® compuestas cada una de ellas por un tubo hinchable de PVC en cuya parte superior se apoya una viga de madera a modo de elemento de compresión y en su parte inferior una cinta de carga a modo de elemento de tracción. Sobre estas dos vigas se sustenta la superestructura de la pasarela formada por vigas transversales de madera sobre las que se apoya el tablero y las barandillas, también de madera. Las estructuras de apoyo se construyen igualmente en madera, con una tipología estructural similar al de la pasarela y mediante el uso de pilotes que recuerda en cierta manera los embarcaderos presentes en los ríos, de forma que la estructura completa esté integrada en el entorno.

Continuum modelling using the discrete element method. theory and implementation in an object-oriented software platform
M. Santasusana, E. Oñate

(2012). Research Report, Nº PI381

Abstract
The Discrete Element Method is a relatively new technique that has nowadays and intense research in the field of numerical methods. In its first conception, the method was designed for simulations of dynamic system of particles where each element is considered to be an independent and non-deformable entity that interacts with other particles by the laws of the contact mechanics and moves following the second Newton’s law. This first approach for the DEM has obtained excellent results for granular media simulations or another discontinuouslike case. The existing challenge nowadays for the DEM is to be able to simulate the behaviour on a continuous media discretized by a mesh of particles ruled by the equations of the DEM. Although there exist more adequate methods to solve the continuous problem as they are the different variants of the Finite Element Method, the DEM is expected to have a better behaviour when the failure of the media occurs; in terms of tracking the evolution of the fracture locally between the elements of the discretization and also the post-fractural behaviour of the material. Nowadays, there are several DEM codes that try to solve this problem although there is no one which can assure an accurate solution applicable universally to any case. The objective of the present work is to develop calculation software for the Discrete Element Method included in the platform for numerical methods KRATOS, which is developed in CIMNE. One of the goals of the so-called DEM-Application is to be able to reproduce a wide set of engineering problems; not only the discrete ones such as the excavation or agroalimentary applications but also to reproduce the continuous media, simulating compression test for concrete or asphalt samples for instance. In addition it is desired that the application permits the coupling with another methods, particularly the Finite Element Method. In order to do this, the present work includes the study of all the advances and ideas that, globally in the numerical method field and particularly in CIMNE, have been discussed to give other approaches and to keep improving and developing the to the Discrete Element Method.

Solving the Helmholtz equation for a large number of input data in an heterogeneous media and unbounded domain still represents a challenge. This is due to the particular nature of the Helmholtz operator and the sensibility of the solution to small variations of the data. Here a reduced order model is used to determine the scattered solution everywhere in the domain for any incoming wave direction and frequency. Moreover, this is applied to a real engineering problem: water agitation inside real harbors for low to mid-high frequencies. The Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) model reduction approach is used to obtain a separable representation of the solution at any point and for any incoming wave direction and frequency. Here, its applicability to such a problem is discussed and demonstrated. More precisely, the separability of the operator is addressed taking into account both the non-constant coe

(2013). Research Report, Nº PI398

Abstract
Actualmente existen programas de MAT-fem para calcular vigas de material homogéneo, según la teoría de Euler-Bernoulli o de Timoshenko. El objetivo de la presente tesina es conseguir un nuevo programa capaz de calcular vigas de materiales compuestos con la teoría de Timoshenko. En el capítulo 1, se introducen los materiales compuestos describiendo las ventajas y aplicaciones que tienen hoy en día en el ámbito de la Ingeniería Cívil. En el capítulo 2 y 3 se expone la teoría de las vigas planas laminadas y, en particular, de las vigas compuestas de Timoshenko. El capítulo 4 explica cómo se ha llevado a cabo la implementación numérica y da paso al capítulo 5, en el que se exponen varios ejemplos. Por último, en el capítulo 6, se exponen las conclusiones que se extraen del trabajo realizado y de los resultados obtenidos. Finalmente se presentan los anejos. Primero, en el anejo 1, se muestra un ejemplo real de refuerzo de viga mediante materiales compuestos. En el segundo anejo se presentan más ejemplos de los expuestos en el quinto capítulo y, por último, se termina la tesina con el anejo 3, que presenta los distintos archivos de programación utilizados para el cálculo de vigas compuestas de Timoshenko.

Numerically stable formulas for a material point based explicit exponential integrator
P. Nadukandi

(2014). Research Report, Nº PI408

Abstract
We present numerically stable formulas for the analytical solution in the closed form of the so-called X-IVAS scheme in 3D. The X-IVAS scheme is a material point based explicit exponential integrator. An intermediate step in the X-IVAS scheme is the solution of tangent curves for piecewise linear vector fields defined on simplicial meshes. This is what we refer to as particle tracing of streamlines and independent formulas for the same can be easily distilled from the ones presented for the X-IVAS scheme. The formulas involve functions of matrices which are defined using the corresponding Newton interpolating polynomial. The evaluation of these formulas is stable, i.e. a certain number of significant digits in the computed values are guaranteed to be exact. Using the double-precision floating-point arithmetic specified by the IEEE 754 standard, we obtain at least 10 significant decimal digits in the worst case scenarios. These scenarios involve fourth-order divided differences of the exponential function. Additionally, an optimal series approximation of divided differences is presented which is an essential part of the exposition.

PARACHUTES: A computer program for calculating ram-air parachutes. Theory document
E. Ortega, R. Flores

(2016). Research Report, Nº PI415

Abstract
PARACHUTES is a computer program developed at the International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) for the simulation of ram-air (gliding) parachute systems. The solution methodology in PARACHUTES is based on two unsteady calculation modules which work in a coupled manner. The aerodynamics of the gliding parachute is solved by a low-order panel method and a finite-element technique is used for the structure. The latter allows modelling the suspension lines, textile fabric and suspended payloads of a typical parachute system by means of cable, membrane and solid linear elements. For specified flight conditions, the simulation program solves the fluid-structural problem governing the behavior of arbitrary parachute-payload configurations and also allows analyzing user-defined maneuvers. This document describes the theoretical formulation and the numerical procedures adopted in PARACHUTES.

Analysis of Linear Systems Assisted with Scilab: An Approach from Electrical Engineering (2015 Review)
E. Brea

Gaceta Técnica (2018). Vol. 15, 13

Abstract
The analysis of the linear systems as well as of the signals that interact with the different elements of the system and the environment that surrounds it, requires a clear knowledge of the mathematical analysis and especially of what is known as operational calculation, as of the operational calculation it is possible, in some cases, to facilitate the search for the solutions of the problems of analysis that are raised in the investigation of the systems represented by mathematical models. Both the mathematical models that represent the systems and the signals can be defined in terms of continuous or discrete variables, for which each of these points of view requires its corresponding model, and the determination of its solution to the problem will be based on the domain over which the model is represented, whether continuous or discrete, as well as the concepts used in the spectral domain. The author assumes that the reader has a clear knowledge of Laplace, Fourier and Z transform, which are used as alternative tools for the analysis of problems in the domain where the mathematical models are described. On the other hand, brief explanations of some differential equation solving methods are presented in this book, which represent the relationships among the variables of the dynamic system defined in the continuous domain that is being studied. The purpose of introducing differential equations is to induce the method of solving difference equations, which are used as mathematical models of dynamic systems seen from a discrete domain perspective. It is important to note that the scope of this work does not include the analysis of linear systems from the stochastic perspective, because this approach requires clear knowledge of the probabilities and stochastic processes, and that this material It should form the textbook of the undergraduate course of Analysis of Linear Systems of the School of Electrical Engineering of the Central University of Venezuela, and this course studies the systems from the deterministic point of view. It should be noted that the author has used, in a very careful way, a notation that allows to discriminate clearly when the mathematical models are referred to the continuous or discrete domain. Moreover, the author makes a clear difference, in the case of the signals defined in the discrete domain, between what a function in the discrete domain means and its corresponding sequence of samples, both of which are used for the representation of the signals in the domain of discrete domain. In addition, the author has tried as far as possible to refer to the domain, without this being limited to the domain in continuous or discrete time, because in the opinion of the author, the concepts, methods and theoretical bases should not refer exclusively to the domain of time, but to any domain, thus leaving the possibility of generalizing the application of what is presented in the work, although in the area of Electrical Engineering it is very common to see the models and signals defined in the domain of time and frequency. It is appropriate to establish that throughout the work, the signals studied and their use in the analysis of the various systems, both in the continuous and discrete domain, are considered real. That is, they are signals that represent measures in the set of real numbers, or in mathematical terms are signals represented by functions whose ranges correspond to the set of real numbers. In addition, it must be taken into account that the signals are modeled by functions defined in the domain of real or integer numbers, depending on whether the signals represent measurements in the continuous or discrete domain, respectively.

Estudio de la influencia de las irregularidades en planta en la respuesta sísmica de una estructura de concreto armado
L. Pérez Peña, G. Doz

International Journal of Natural Disasters, Accidents and Civil Infrastructure (2018). Vol. 18, (2), 1

Abstract
The changes in the geometry of the structures are called irregularities and are divided into two types: plant and height irregularities, the latter being widely investigated. In this sense, the objective of the present work is to study in detail the influence of the plant irregularities in the seismic resistance of a reinforced concrete structure, to quantify and locate vulnerable zones in the structure. The proposed study is developed numerically using ETABS software Nonlinear v9.7.2 and MATLAB R2009b. The results showed that plant irregularities as they are placed in the structure, this is losing its bearing capacity and therefore its ability to withstand the lateral loads.
