La educación que recibimos a nivel universitario viene cargada lastimosamente de un alto contenido empírico. En el caso de los ingenieros, cercanos e hijos de las ciencias aplicadas, todavía hay quienes consideran que las demostraciones quedan atrás de la práctica.
The "Space" is a 20th floor building which collapsed in 2013 in Medellin, Colombia. The building collapsed just after the construction ended and before being occupied for owners. The main structure's lateral resistant system was reinforced concrete (RC) frames. Medellin is the second city of Colombia, and it is located in Los Andes montains, a region of high seismicity, however the collapse of the building occured in a day with no substantial earthquake reports neither highwinds or rainfalls. A picture of the building before its collapse is here: Space building before its collapse in 2013. The Space was a 5 tower project. The last tower in being build failed (left). Three different companies were incharge of the forense study for explaining causes of the collapse. Two of them were national (Colombian) and one from United States. Conclusions of all studies show that the building did not met basic requeriments of the national construction code. A video abo...
Las demostraciones son la base del camino hacia la experiencia.
ResponderEliminarAlgunas personas e instituciones en todas las disciplinas dan mucho valor a la experiencia practica, pero como afirma Usted, se olvidan de la tecnica y la experiencia es suficiente para demostrar capacidad, pero la realidad es que en la realizacion de las actividades hay complejidad y en algunos oficios, especialmente en ingenieria se necesita utilizar herramientas y tecnicas que permitan y validar la aplicacion de la ciencia (demostraciones y simulaciones)
