Session: Retaining Walls

RESUMEN: En este artículo se presenta un análisis de confiabilidad de lumbreras construidas por el método de flotación en el que se evalúan los principales estados límites de falla, tales como: falla del núcleo central, falla general por cortante, falla de fondo por subpresión y falla por flotación. Se evalúa la confiabilidad de este sistema constructivo mediante el método de estimación puntual de Rosenblueth. Finalmente se dan unas conclusiones respecto a lumbreras flotadas.
