Abstract:
Casa Fullana [Fullana House], built in 1955 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is an exemplary model of Henry Klumb’s (1905-1984) design principles for modern living in the tropics. German architect Henry Klumb conducted a prolific architectural practice in Puerto Rico, producing some of the most iconic examples of tropical modernism in the Caribbean. His work, most notably at the University of Puerto Rico (1946-1966) (UPR) and in landmark projects like the San Martin de Porres Church (1948) in Cataño, constituted a breakthrough in Puerto Rican, Caribbean and Latin American architecture. Anchored in the principles of modern architecture, specifically of an organic architecture put forward by his mentor Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), Klumb’s work is deeply rooted in the specificities of the landscape, topography, and climate of Puerto Rico as a tropical island.

Abstract:
La prevalencia del abuso de sustancias constituye un problema creciente entre las mujeres de bajos ingresos en Puerto Rico. El acceso a tratamiento puede jugar un rol importante en la remisión, sin embargo muy poco se sabe sobre su utilización. Además, se desconoce el papel mediador del capital social en la utilización de tratamientos para abuso de sustancias. Este estudio examina el papel relativo del capital social y otros factores en la obtención de tratamiento para abuso de sustancias entre mujeres de 18 a 35 años que viven en áreas urbanas de alto riesgo en San Juan, Puerto Rico. ABSTRACT The prevalence of substance abuse constitutes an increasing problem among low-income urban women in Puerto Rico. Access to treatment may play an important role in remission, however, little is known about women’s utilization. Further, the mediating role of social capital in substance abuse treatment utilization is unknown. This study examines the relative role of social capital and other factors in obtaining substance abuse treatment of women ages 18-35 living in high-risk urban areas of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The January 1994 grounding and discharge of over 800,000 gallons (3,028,000 liters/3,028 m3) of low API gravity No. 6 oil from the tank barge Morris J. Berman at San Juan, Puerto Rico was one of those infrequent but typically major events that set in motion a massive skimming and shoreline cleanup operation. As these actions proceeded effectively along the northern coast of Puerto Rico, it quickly became apparent that significant quantities of oil from the Berman had submerged and continued to recontaminate economic, historic, and environmentally sensitive coastal areas after the leaking barge and floating oil had been removed. Recognizing the unique nature of the problem and general lack of Coast Guard or industry-wide experience in the emerging field of submerged oil recovery, the federal on-scene coordinator (FOSC) formed a group within the overall organization to respond to the situation. The methods implemented by this group recovered approximately 145,000 gallons of oil from the seabed at an estimated cost of $8 million.

Maldonado-Torres, Joaquin. "Historical research and documentation of the grounds and gardens of La Casa Blanca, San Juan De Puerto Rico." Virtual Press, 1987. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/543768.

Full text
Abstract:
La Casa Blanca (The White House) is the old fortress house of Juan Ponce de Leon’s family, located in the city of San Juan Bautista de Puerto Rico also known as Old San Juan. The house was originally built in the early 1500s as one of the first permanent constructions on the islet of San Juan. Both the house and its grounds have undergone several physical changes through their almost 500 years of existence. The house (which today is a museum) has been restored and documented, including the surrounding buildings which were built during the 17th and 18th Centuries and which form the Casa Blanca building complex.Today several garden areas exist on the grounds of Casa Blanca. These gardens have the potential to enhance the site more than they do presently, not only in the aesthetic experience that the visitor to Casa Blanca could have because of the beauty of the place, but also in the experience of history and legend associated with Juan Ponce de Leon.Lamentably, with the possible exception of the Hispano-Moorish garden located next to the central patio of Casa Blanca, the remaining garden areas have not been formally documented for purposes of correct design development or so that the visitor may appreciate and understand their history. In this creative project the author has documented all the information available on Casa Blanca and its gardens from written sources, plans, and from oral interviews obtained in Puerto Rico and the United States.The original intent of the author was not only to document the gardens and grounds of Casa Blanca, but also to create a restoration/rehabilitation design for the best use of this area. This scheme would be in accordance with their historic, legendary, and aesthetic relationship to Casa Blanca and Old San Juan as part of the total cultural heritage of Puerto Rico. Instead, this research of Casa Blanca's gardens' history in itself became the focus of the creative project due to the large amount of time and effort necessary to locate and compile the information. A rehabilitation design plan was not possible in the time frame for this project. However, this investigation opened new areas of study, as it dealt with the overall unrecorded garden history of Puerto Rico which was essential to document before a restoration/rehabilitation plan could be made. The author hopes that this study, as the first documentation of a Puerto Rican garden, will initiate the recording of the total garden history of Puerto Rico.

This thesis addresses the question whether and how a large transportation infrastructure, in this case a port, can co-exist with a large metropolitan area. The case study analyzed is the redevelopment of the port and waterfront of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The first part reviews how the undergoing changes in the shipping and cruise industry affect ports and cities. It also reviews the developments currently proposed along the waterfront of San Juan. The second part develops a Trip Generation Distribution Computerized Model. This model proposes a methodology to analyze the traffic impact the proposed developments have on the overall roadway network. The third part constitutes an Urban Design and Land Use proposal for a district of the San Juan metropolitan area, Isla Grande. The conceptual transit-oriented development proposal shows a way to accommodate growth that benefits the city and the port, while contributing to alleviate traffic problems. As a contribution to enhance communication between all the stakeholders, a Web Site is developed as part of this thesis. Key Words: Puerto Rico, Port Planning, Cruise Industry, Waterfronts, Traffic Modeling, Urban Transportation, Urban Design, Land Use Planning, Transit Oriented Development.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate and understand the growth of public works as part of urban development in San Juan, Puerto Rico, between 1765 and 1823. In San Juan, attaining basic provisions was complicated by distinctive circumstances such as the increasing population, administrative decisions, and financial limitations. This thesis draws from demography, medicine, urban studies, and primary documents to understand how the changes in San Juan’s established political, economic, demographic, and environmental systems allowed for the growth of public works to support the city’s population. With the introduction of economic and military Bourbon Reforms, the existing colonial system fractured, collapsing in the first decade of the nineteenth century from financial burdens, internal infrastructure decay, and the abdication of the Spanish king. Imperial loyalty and intra-monarchial attention to the general public altered Puerto Rico’s imperial role, establishing a new system that allowed public work and sanitation to thrive.

San Juan, Puerto Rico, like many North American cities, has turned to rail lines as a solution to the mounting traffic congestion threatening the urban environment. However, a rail system must rely on other transit modes to provide feeder services in order to expand its reach and broaden its customer base. This requires intermodal integration. The challenge facing the future success of Tren Urbano, the new rail system projected to open in the next two years, is the integration of the publicos. The publico is the owner operated jitney service indigenous to Puerto Rico that the government anticipates will offer crucial feeder services to Tren Urbano. For intermodal integration to succeed, publicos must offer comparable service quality. Unfortunately, the service quality of publico transit is poor as a consequence of the long-term decline of the publico industry. Therefore, the goal of the government is to improve publico service quality so it is comparable with the rest of the transit system, while recognizing the unique owner operator quality of the industry. This thesis examines four different jitney systems in North America. The study documents the development of the jitney service, how different cities govern jitney operators, and what affect the governance structure has on the quality of service. The purpose of this study is to determine what kind of governance structure leads to a high quality of jitney service. The study also examines what other factors contribute to high quality service. The ultimate goal is to apply the findings to San Juan, Puerto Rico in order to define future publico reforms. The case studies illustrate that North American jitney services all rely on hybrid governance models, consisting of government controls and self-regulating mechanisms. The study suggests that a hybrid governance structure that is based on cooperation between operators and government regulators leads to superior service quality. However, service quality is not merely a function of governance structure. Service quality also depends on the profitability of the jitney service, institutional strength, and the context of the industry. In a highly profitable setting, industry actors will spontaneously mobilize and provide a high quality of service. Consequently, the recommendations from this study examine ways of improving the profitability of the publico industry in order to improve the quality of service. In an unprofitable environment, the government must take the lead in developing other strategies to encourage service quality improvements. The recommendations in this study also suggests that the government proactively assist the publico industry improve service quality though various institutional and governance strategies.

The old alluvium underlying much of metropolitan San Juan was formed in early Pleistocene and has undergone substantial post-depositional weathering in the tropical climate of Puerto Rico, resulting in a special combination of soil mineralogy and structure, with very unusual engineering properties. The soil mineralogy was determined both qualitatively and quantitatively by a series of analytical techniques, consisting of X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, X-ray fluorescence, and chemical analyses including cation exchange capacity (CEC), soil pH, and selective chemical dissolutions (SCD). Results show that the old alluvium contains: (1) two most weathering resistant primary minerals: quartz and orthoclase; (2) kaolinite and smectites as major clay minerals; and (3) Fe-oxides (goethite and hematite) as special fine-grained minerals, which give the soil distinct red, brown, and yellow coloration. The subsequent quantitative analysis yields high accuracy results, such that the identified mineral phases account for 94-95% of the bulk material. Characterization of soil microstructure also used a variety of techniques including environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), slaking tests, CEC, and SCD of Fe-oxides. The results reveal an aggregate structure comprising groups of clay platelets, which each consist of clay particles associated with face-to-face contact. Cementation and aggregation agents are positively identified by SCD as Fe-oxides, which form coatings over clay platelets and aggregates, and bridge bonding between aggregates. These results were confirmed by slake tests in water and glycerol.
(cont.) Index properties vary due to the microstructure. Particle size distribution and Atterberg limits are affected by remolding energy and drying conditions, resulting in difficulties for soil classification. The combination of mineralogy and structure, cause the consolidation behavior to differ from conventional sedimentary soil behavior in the following aspects: (1) the coefficient of consolidation decreases by four orders of magnitude as the sample is compressed to 300ksc; (2) the swelling strains increase significantly with maximum past consolidation pressure; (3) the intact soil exhibits an exceptionally high yield stress ([sigma][subscript]y [approximately equal to] 8ksc); and (4) vertical consolidation strains can be completely recovered upon unloading when samples are pre-loaded above the yield stress. Triaxial compression and extension shear tests on intact samples suggest that the intact shear strength can be described by a conventional Mohr-Coulomb criterion with an isotropic cohesive strength component. The current conceptual models of microstructure offer a framework for developing realistic constitutive models to describe the complex mechanical behavior of this complex residual soil.

Abstract:
A design-build workshop organized by Taller CreandoS in Encargos a collective founded by four female architecture professors; Yazmín M. Crespo, AndreaBauzá, Irvis González y Omayra Rivera, at La Perla, a community outside the northern historic city-wall of old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Together the professors share interests to revitalize deteriorated and abandon urban spaces with ephemeral interventions and participative workshops in an effort to redefine the conventional way of understanding the professional practice of architecture. The workshop invited students from the three architecture and design schools in Puerto Rico; Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, University of Puerto Rico School of Architecture, Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico and the school of Visual Arts in Old San Juan to work together with international architecture collectives Todo porla Praxis from Madrid, Spain; Arquitectura Expandida from Bogotá, Colombia; and FG Studio from New YorkCity in three design-build projects together with the community. The workshop included lectures by the three international architects’ collectives, a design charrette, community presentations, final review, a round table and construction of the interventions from August 31to September 7, 2013.

Full text
Abstract:
Solar radiation was measured and recorded on a 5-minute, hourly and daily basis at a number of sites on the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico (located from 18° to 18° 30’N latitude and from 65° 30’ to 67° 15’W longitude) over a 24 calendar month time frame. The global solar radiation was measured at four sites (namely: Aguadilla, Ponce, Gurabo, and San Juan). The global solar radiation data was measured by an Eppley Precision Spectral Pyranometer (model PSP) mounted on a horizontal surface. This pyranometer is sensitive to solar radiation in the range of 0.285 ≤ λ ≤ 2.8 μm wavelengths. Statistical analysis such as the daily average, monthly average hourly, monthly average daily, and annual average daily global radiation are presented in this paper. Despite its small size, a 13 percent variation in the global solar radiation has been observed within the island. Reasonable solar radiation values, for solar energy conversion system installation, seem to exist at and possibly around Aguadilla.

Abstract:
The main objective of this study is to identify how climate variability influences human comfort levels in tropical-coastal urban environments. San Juan Metro Metropolitan Area (SJMA) of the island of Puerto Rico was chosen as a reference point. Temperature and relative humidity are identified as key environmental variables to maintain human comfort level. A new Human Discomfort Index (HDI) using the key environmental variables based on environmental enthalpy is defined. This index is expanded to determine the energy required to maintain indoor human comfort levels and is compared to total electric energy consumption for the island of Puerto Rico. Regression analysis shows that both temperature and HDI are good indicators to predict total electrical energy consumption. Results showed that over the past 35 years the average environmental enthalpy have increased, resulting in the increase of average HDI for SJMA. Surface weather station data further shows clear indication of urbanization biases ramping up the HDI. Long-term local scale (weather station; 30-years record) data shows a decreasing rate of maximum cooling per capita at −11.41 kW-h/years, and increasing of minimum cooling per capita of 10.64 kW-h/years. This contrasts with regional scale data for the whole Caribbean where increasing trends are observed for both minimum and maximum energy per capita. To estimate human comfort levels under extreme heat wave events conditions, an event of 2014 in the San Juan area was identified. The analysis is complemented by data from the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) at 250km spatial resolution, North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) at 32 km spatial resolution, and simulations of the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) at a resolution of 1 km, and by weather station data for San Juan. Model results were evaluated against observations showing good agreement for both temperature and relative humidity and improvements from the NCEP input. It also shows that Energy Per Capita (EPC), required to maintain indoor space at human comfort level, in urban areas during a heat wave event can increase to 21% as compared to normal day.

Abstract:
This investigation presents the thermal analysis of an experimental, low energy consuming home for low-income families, located in Puerto Rico, where the prevailing climate is hot and humid. The objective of this analysis is to aid in the design of energy efficient homes, which in turn will reduce energy consumption in the Island. This investigation compares the analysis of this experimental house, specifically designed for the tropics, to a similarly sized, conventionally built low-cost home. Different construction materials are evaluated in conjunction with the use of either natural ventilation or air conditioning. The impact of natural ventilation is analyzed, with results for the inside temperature and interior heat removal presented and compared. Additional energy saving strategies are evaluated, including solar thermal energy for domestic hot water production, daylighting and the use of energy efficient lights. The annual energy consumption of the proposed experimental home is calculated and compared with the energy consumption of the conventional house. The thermal load of the house is calculated through the use of mathematical simulations of the dynamic annual cooling load using well-known software such as Energy-Plus for a TMY for San Juan, Puerto Rico. Results for the inside temperature of the experimental house, the heat loss due to natural ventilation, the cooling load when air conditioning is used, and energy consumption are presented and compared with the conventional house. Results indicate that the experimental house is 30% more energy efficient when all the energy saving strategies are considered.
