Internal publications
Article publications represent a fundamental tool for disseminating knowledge, research, and perspectives on a variety of topics. These writings, which can range from scientific studies to personal opinions, serve as a bridge between the author and a broader audience. This space seeks to share relevant information, in-depth reflections, or key insights that contribute to the understanding and development of specific areas. In this context, each article not only informs but also invites reflection and debate, generating an impact that transcends the text itself.
Estimating the shear velocity profile of Quaternary silts using microtremor array (SPAC) measurements. Roberts, J. y Asten, M., 2005, Estimating the shear velocity profile of Quaternary silts using microtremor array (SPAC) measurements: Exploration Geophysics, 36, 34-40.
En Bolivia, la ingeniería sísmica está evolucionando, y la estimación precisa de la velocidad de la onda de corte (Vs) mediante métodos de fuentes pasivas es cada vez más crucial para el diseño sísmico. Para los profesionales que buscan la excelencia en la caracterización de suelos de cimentación, especialmente en terrenos complejos con sedimentos cuaternarios como los limos, es fundamental contar con herramientas y conocimientos avanzados.
El siguiente artículo presenta un estudio de caso relevante que destaca la importancia de estas técnicas a fin de traducir a suelos bolivianos similares.
Multichannel analysis of surface waves to map bedrock Miller, R.D., Xia, J., Park, C.B. y Ivanov, J.M., 2001, Multichannel analysis of surface waves to map bedrock: The Leading Edge, 20 (12), 1298– 1303.
La gestión ambiental efectiva de botaderos requiere una comprensión detallada de la geología del subsuelo para prevenir la contaminación y mitigar riesgos. Métodos geofísicos avanzados, como el Análisis Multicanal de Ondas Superficiales (MASW), están demostrando ser herramientas valiosas para caracterizar estos sitios.
El siguiente artículo presenta un caso de estudio que ilustra cómo MASW puede aplicarse para mapear la roca madre y detectar zonas de fractura, información crítica para evaluar la integridad de las barreras naturales en botaderos aplicación que se consideró en el Botadero de Karakara, considerando rocas impermeables vs. rocas fracturas: a fin de poder diferenciar areniscas silícicas impermeables que actúan como barreras naturales por su porosidad primeria, y las zonas fracturadas por su porosidad secundaria que podrían permitir la migración de lixiviados. La velocidad de la onda de corte (Vs) es un parámetro clave: las rocas sanas y compactas mostrarán altas velocidades de Vs, mientras que las zonas fracturadas tendrán velocidades más bajas.
