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
