CAPSTONE, MAYAGUEZ, PUERTO RICO Jan. 2010 – MAY 2010

PROJECT MANAGER

• Worked in the feasibility, conceptual, preliminary, and final transportation design of an Aquarium for

Mayaguez 2020.

• Analyzed a specific intersection as to how aquarium construction could affect the level of service, and

proposed solutions for the intersection

Working with a disciplined and diverse team, developed a scope statement, identified deliverables,

WBS, time and cost estimates, and Critical Path methods for the design and construction of the ADEM

Cafeteria

PROJECTS UNDERTAKEN TO COMPLETE M E DEGREE

REHABILITATION OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES COURSE PROJECT Aug. 2012 – DEC 2012

Worked with team assigned to inspect a school built with 1971 Building Codes and to rehabilitate the

structure under the existing code. A partial scope of responsibilities included:

• Inspecting the building on site and the As-Built drawings to identifying durability and/or structural

problems with the concrete

CÉSAR J. TORRES-CABÁN RESUME, PAGE 2

• Constructing a 3-D model using ETABS and analyzing with current ASCE 05 Minimum Design Loads

(American Society of Civil Engineers, 7 05 minimum design loads for buildings and other

structures)

• Performing seismic rehabilitation that included the seismic design of structural members using ACI

318-08 building code requirements for structural concrete

PRO JECT E XPERIENCE CONTINUED

REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES COURSE PROJECT

Jan. 2011 – MAY 2011

Analysis and seismic design of a five story building of reinforced concrete using current design building

codes. Responsibilities included:

Calculating Equivalent Lateral Force (ELF) analysis using the ASCE 7 05 IBC 06 code (International

Building code)

Checking for vertical, horizontal and torsion irregularities

Developing a 2-D model using SAP 2000 to determine design loads using ASCE 7 05 code

(American Society of Civil Engineers, 7 05 minimum design loads for buildings and other

structures)

Providing a seismic design of structural elements, ductile frame design, and structural wall design

MATRIX ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES COURSE PROJECT

• Computed a program using MATLAB that analyzed 2-D frames using the Stiffness Method
