Innovation is a core element of these solutions: the capacity to take a step back, to question if there is another way - a better way - of working. This is our driving force. Innovation comes when new business lines are created that stay in constant touch with the ever-changing market and focus on clients’ needs in increasingly important sectors, such as nuclear power, offshore structures and infrastructure protection. Innovation also applies to products, by constantly improving existing ones or creating even better ones. New or improved products strengthen VSL’s lead in post-tensioning technologies, increase quality and productivity, and open up new paths for designers when creating imaginative structures. VSL’s SSI 2000 Saddle and the new VSlab anchorage are shining examples of our engineering strength and innovation. Innovation is also at the heart of our relationship with the client and this means a lot to us: efficient partnering allows us to take on more responsibility and to share more risk on important infrastructure projects, for the benefit of all parties. This issue of our VSL News Magazine presents some of these innovative ideas, tools, products and solutions. We strive to introduce them every one of our clients’ projects. We want to make sure that we provide what’s best for the project.

From a supply perspective, a fragmented home builder industry, a non competitive lending community and a non existent apartment rental sector has created a persisting housing deficit year over year. As a result of the supply and demand imbalance, BAM sees an opportunity to make significant risk adjusted returns by partnering with small and mid- sized local developers to provide new housing alternatives for the emerging middle class of Mexico. 3 Strong Demographics Will Drive Growth 4 Wealth Creation and Emerging Middle Class • Mexico has the 6th largest GDP per capita in the Americas with significant room for growth in the years to come. $60,000 GDP per Capita PPP $USD $50,000 $40,000 $30,000 $20,000 $10,000 $- Argentina Brazil Canada Colombia Mexico United States Source: International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Economic Outlook Database, April 2016. 5 Wealth Creation and Emerging Middle Class • Between 1992 and 2010, 42 million people became part of the Mexican middle class (annual income US$18-$50,000).

De acuerdo con el funcionario estatal, esta situación complica las finanzas de los ayuntamientos, e inhibe un mejor aprovechamiento de los recursos municipales, pues a consecuencia del gasto en pagos de salarios, las administraciones cargan problemas legales y financieros con el pago de laudos.Agregó que estos trabajos de ordenamiento también lo atienden puntualmente con el Inafed para que no sea un tema inventado, pero sobre todo que tengan las bases necesarias de establecer una política pública que beneficie a las arcas municipales.http://www.oem.com.mx/elsoldezamora/notas/n4198404.htm Avanza iniciativa que amplía facultades de la ASF para fiscalizar a los estados La Jornada La Comisión de Transparencia de la Cámara de Diputados avanzó en la discusión de un proyecto de dictamen para definir atribuciones adicionales de la Auditoría Superior de la Federación (ASF) en materia del combate a la corrupción, que se prevé votar hoy.

    RANKING DE EMPRESAS CONSTRUCTORAS A NIVEL NACIONAL Centro de Estudios Económicos del Sector de la Construcción. CEESCO RANKING DE EMPRESAS CONSTRUCTORAS A NIVEL NACIONAL - 2017 Como resultado del período de incertidumbre económica y política, al desplome en la ejecución de Obras de Ingeniería Civil y a los altibajos en la realización de Obras de Edificación privada, la Industria de la construcción en México registró una contracción de (-) 1% en 2017, lo cual se reflejó en menores montos de facturación de las empresas constructoras con operaciones en México. Mientras que en 2012 la facturación anual de las 20 principales empresas constructoras alcanzó los 235 mil millones de pesos, en 2017 la facturación del Top 20 se redujo a 213 mil millones una caída del 9% (30% en términos reales) Por otro lado, los constates cambios que ha registrado la Industria de la Construcción a nivel mundial en los últimos años, han marcado la pauta para que las Empresas Constructoras diversifiquen con mayor énfasis su actividad fuera de sus fronteras. En ese sentido, de acuerdo al análisis realizado por el Centro de Estudios Económicos del Sector de la Construcción (CEESCO ) de la CMIC al último Ranking de la Revista Obras “Las Empresas de la Construcción más Grandes de México”, se destacan los otros elementos relevantes en la siguientes páginas. Fuente: Centro de Estudios Económicos del Sector de la Construcción (CEESCO) de la CMIC con información de la Revista Obras «Las 100 constructoras más grandes de México 2 Se destaca que mientras en 2012 figuraban 3 compañías extrajeras en el top 20 de las empresas constructoras más importantes de México, en 2017 el número de empresas extrajeras se incrementó a 5.

  • Wind-Induced Response of a Cable-Stayed Bridge Under Partially and Fully Correlated Buffeting Forces
    1 Wind-induced response of a cable-stayed bridge under partially and fully correlated buffeting forces Adrián Pozos-Estrada1, Roberto Gómez-Martínez1, H.P. Hong2, Héctor Hernández-Landero1 1Coordinación de Mecánica Aplicada, Instituto de Ingeniería, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México 2Department of Civil and Environmental Eng., The University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT: Cable-stayed bridges are sensitive to buffeting forces, and their study is usually carry out analytically and/or experimentally. In the first approach mathematical models and frequency or time domain analysis are carry out to estimate the mean and peak response of interest. In the second approach, scaled section or aerosleatsic models are tested in boundary layer wind tunnels under different types of terrain to calculate the response. If the first approach with frequency domain analysis is adopted, buffeting forces should be characterized. To account for spanwise correlation, a decay function is usually adopted. The main objective of this work is to study the wind-induced response of the tallest cable-stayed bridge in Mexico under partially and fully correlated buffeting forces. For the parametric analyses, a mathematical model of the bridge is developed in Ansys Parametric Design Language (APDL). A harmonic analysis is employed to carry out the buffeting analyses with partially and fully correlated wind forces. The results of the analyses indicate that spanwise correlation affects the peak response of the structure and an evaluation of the amount of correlation should be further study to take it into account in design.
