The aim of this research article is to share a study conducted within the epistemological phase of mathematical theory in the context of the sciences. This study, developed by Patricia Camarena Gallardo, involves the development, presentation, and analysis of a didactic intervention aimed at revisiting the study of functions in an introductory course on differential and integral calculus. This approach is based on a contextualized problem in civil engineering, specifically a situation related to the dynamic analysis of a frame. The development of the intervention, with an expected duration of 12 hours per class, was methodologically supported by the analysis of a textbook on structural mechanics, as well as two calculus textbooks. Additionally, the study considered the curriculaof calculus courses, topics related to the historical development of the notion of function, the epistemological obstacles encountered in this process, as well as cognitive issues related to it.

Concrete has long been a crucial material in civil engineering projects. Improving it is key to enhancing its efficiency and resistance to various forces. This study focuses on how the addition of synthetic and steel fibers influences the flexural strength of self-compacting concrete. Through the creation of concrete beams, flexural tests, and fiber analysis are conducted. It is observed that synthetic fibers minimally enhance flexural strength but increase resistance to rupture and cracking. Steel fibers offer a significant increase in flexural strength. Fiber distribution revealed segregation at the top of the beams, where flexural strength was higher. These findings support the importance of carefully considering additional materials to enhance the efficiency and durability of concrete in civil engineering projects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a contextualization of the teaching-learning process of the English language for specific purposes in the Civil Engineering career is presented. Said contextualization is based on an epistemological and praxiological perspective that recognizes the holistic, complex, interdisciplinary and integrating nature of the language contents, as well as the other disciplines within the degree. The fundamental purpose is to improve the training of the civil engineer, managing to establish a connection between the teaching-learning process of English and the professional profile through a transversal approach that covers the different subjects of the career. Consequently, the distinctive peculiarity of the process of obtaining information and communication in the field of civil engineering would be highlighted, playing a crucial dynamic role. To address this study, a systematic review methodology was used in high-impact databases, allowing a comprehensive analysis of English language teaching in various areas of study. As a result of this research, didactic strategies were proposed in order to strengthen the teaching-learning process in technical fields such as Civil Engineering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Designing and developing training processes that start from the analysis of contextualized problems is the purpose of Problem-Based Learning (PBL), an interesting methodology in Engineering careers to achieve meaningful learning. The general purpose of this article was to present the implementation of the PBL in the Resist ance of Materials subject in the Civil Engineering degree at the University of Valparaíso, in three different years. This was a strategy to evaluate and provide feedback on learning results regarding specific and generic competences, in their first level of mastery. The results revealed that this methodology had strengths and weaknesses regarding the level of achievement in team work-related transversal competences, self-regulation, and communication. Also, there was a rise in engineering competencies such as the application of tools for the analysis of a problem. The perception of the students regarding learning gains was also analysed and contrasted with their academic results. This provided feedback on students' performance which the permanent curricular committee of the degree can use to make decisions and carry out macro or micro curricular adjustments. In general, improvements were reported for the formation of work teams, thus optimizing academic performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents a didactic proposal to improve the teaching of general physics in the Civil Engineering career. Deficiencies were identified in the selection of knowledge and the lack of connection with the disciplines specific to engineering. The proposal includes the selection of relevant knowledge for civil engineering and the incorporation of exercises and practical problems in classes. The movement of a vehicle in a curve is discussed, and a problem related to the maximum and minimum speed of a car in a curve with a specific radius and banking angle is presented. Additionally, a pedagogical experiment is mentioned that showed better learning results in the experimental group compared to the control group. It is recommended to improve the experimental activity and expand the knowledge of modern physics in the discipline's program. [Extracted from the article]

The article titled "Software Development as a Methodological Strategy in Civil Engineering" proposes a learning methodology based on software development for Civil Engineering students. The study applied to the iRAP model to evaluate road safety. The proposed methodology consists of 6 phases, which include choosing the model to program, analyzing possible improvements in existing software, and developing the program. The article also mentions the application of the proposed methodology in a group of Civil Engineering students in Ecuador. The developed program is called SILVVIA and uses the iRAP model to categorize the danger of road sections. Technological tools such as Zoom, Slack, and GitHub were used for communication and collaboration between students and teachers. The objective of the program is to facilitate learning of the iRAP method and be useful for students and engineers interested in road assessment. [Extracted from the article]

In this article we propose a model of recommendation of experimental protocols based on the user's context of use. As a case study, 107 experiments related to 5 experimental protocols of the soil mechanics laboratory tests of the Civil Engineering in the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards are analyzed. Starting from the formal specification of the experimental protocol, a representation model is proposed. This model allows to describe the entities that converge in this scientific product, contributing to the formalization of the experimental protocol in a domain of knowledge that has been little explored from this perspective. With the previous result, a recommendation model is presented. This model takes advantage of the concept of the context of use to highlight within the experimental protocol, the entities that characterize the context in which a user performs a new experiment, reproduces, repeats or audits previously performed experiments. This also contributes to considering the recommendation of this type of products that is not yet visible in the repositories of experimental protocols explored in this research. With two previous models, a software prototype is built and using test cases, the representation model and the recommendation model are validated with satisfactory results in a content-based strategy to achieve a recommendation to the user.

The 2010 Maule earthquake with a magnitude Mw = 8.8 caused significant liquefaction-induced damage in a large area of Chile, showing the importance of properly evaluating the potential occurrence of this phenomenon in civil engineering projects. Usually, this assessment is based on the simplified procedure originally developed by Seed and Idriss (1971). However, alternative versions of this procedure currently exist, which can produce different results. This variability is added to other sources of uncertainty that are present in the evaluation, which are not quantified in practice. In this paper, we examine the variability in the evaluation of liquefaction potential that is introduced by the utilization of different in situ tests, versions of the simplified procedure, and input parameters. For this, we study three sites located in different regions of the country, where SPT and CPTu results are available. The main objective is to show the effects that this variability can have on the conclusions of this type of analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The programmatic contents of a scientific and technological nature of the basic sciences and technical disciplines in the teaching of engineering require the use of pedagogical strategies that adjust to the concrete understanding of the students, for this reason, the study seeks to examine the historical evolution of the didactic transposition in the teaching of civil engineering in Colombia. The documentary qualitative methodology was used, based on the epistemological statements of the actors of the pedagogical method in the Colombian engineering scenario. It is concluded through critical reflection that although the university educational centers of the country that offer civil engineering are far from the evolutionary practice of didactic transposition as a teaching strategy, its systematic application is recommended to provide elements that seek to add attributes for the quality certification processes of engineering programs carried out by the country's university sector.

In the 19th century, the myth of infraestructure was consolidated in Europe. Investment in public works was presented as the basis for economic development, which justifies a growing state investment in roads and railways to put into circulation the rich productions of the poorly connected regions. In the context of the province of Castelló, the first Carlist War also popularized the image of the Maestrat as a rebellious and especially backward territory which, with the opening of the Maestrat road, would receive a civilizing impulse. Below the official speeches, however, prevailed the administrative interests and the conception of the provincial authorities that was necessary to strengthen the role of Castelló de la Plana as capital by turning it into the center of a radial network of provincial roads. This article reviews the road projects of the regency and reign of Isabel II (1833-1868), the discourses that justified them, and their context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The higher subjects of the Civil Engineering career, called professional studies, are characterized by a series of links between academics in the classroom and field work in society. In this study, a series of experiences lived by students in field activities are compiled, where the idea was: a) To inquire about their perspectives on these field activities, and b) If these activities reinforce the theory - practice link, and if they have some influence on the efficiency of learning. A survey design was applied to 141 students. The results of the surveys are summarized: on average 3.57 field visits per student, 91.49% of the respondents say that if the theoretical-practical link is reinforced, 98.58% recognize that learning is reinforced and 96.45% affirm that this process is efficient. It concludes with pedagogical implications and recommendations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From the end of the 16th century to the middle of the 17th century, the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula experienced a unique process of technical innovation that resulted in the construction of irrigation dams. The reservoirs, with unknown dimensions in Europe, generated great expectations among the local societies that promoted their construction. The results, however, were more modest and did not achieve the radical transformations of the agricultural landscape that were initially assumed. Under the auspices of the monarchy, during the second half of the eighteenth century, new dams were projected. The regrowth of the old dams was also promoted, with mixed results. The article talks about the example of the Almansa reservoir, a pioneer dam (1586) and with a successful regrowth (1788). The changes in the landscape caused by these reservoirs and the hopes for their improvements at the end of the 18th century are valued. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Academic software has proven to be strong tools that drive learning processes within all types of educational institutions around the world. Therefore, implementing their use is becoming an increasingly imperative task due to the exponential growth of technology. The objective of this work is to design a software architecture for the subject Costs, Budgets and Work Scheduling, of the Civil Engineering program of the Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander. The methodology is based on the theoretical development of the theoretical classes, basing the process in a logical way avoiding setbacks that in conventional practice could occur. The results show a solid and functional architecture, which will later allow the successful development of an academic software and its maintenance. This tool will leverage the learning process of students, because it encourages self-learning and interest in the subject. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
