    En el año 2021 celebramos en Costa Rica la V edición del Congreso ISUF-H, los días 1, 2 y 3 de diciembre, con la Escuela de Arquitectura de la Universidad de Costa Rica como anfitriona del evento. El congreso “Ciudades espontáneas versus ciudades planificadas: distintos retos, distintas realidades” propuso como eje central una reflexión crítica sobre los procesos de urbanización planificada y urbanización espontánea, en el cual se fomente un abordaje de las ciudades como expresión de organización social, económica, ambiental y cultural, enfatizando el carácter ideológico de la urbanización y subrayando su continua construcción como resultado de construcciones complejas. La celebración de un nuevo congreso en América Latina, permitió reforzar la tradición crítica en el abordaje de las ciudades, y reforzar también la necesidad de plantear una perspectiva latinoamericana de los estudios urbanos, y por consiguiente de una teoría urbana latinoamericana. En esta ocasión el congreso se centró en ahondar en la temática de la forma urbana, desde perspectivas transversales que involucren las amplias disciplinas que asumen como objeto de discusión las problemáticas de la ciudad contemporánea y cuestionan la dicotomía planteada entre lo espontáneo y lo planificado. Para la Escuela de Arquitectura de la Universidad de Costa Rica y su Laboratorio de Ciudad y Territorio es un honor haber podido llevar a cabo esta nueva edición del congreso de la Asociación ISUF-H como segunda sede en un país latinoamericano. Relevante para fortalecer la temática de la forma urbana en la región, reforzando alianzas y estableciendo nuevas redes que permitan compartir conocimientos a partir de las experiencias de esas diversidades urbanas. Auspiciar el debate en torno a la morfología urbana y las diferencias entre esas ciudades espontáneas y las planificadas, fue una oportunidad para reunir a expertos de las distintas latitudes hispánicas.

    Costa Rica Aerospace Camp 2015: Experiences and Results
    (2016-09) de Lemos Medina, Leonora; Mora Vargas, Andrés
    The first Costa Rican Aerospace Camp 2015 was an outreach and education activity where participants had active contact with the entire process of constructing and operating sounding rockets. It included lectures on theoretical concepts, simulation, instrumentation, and hands-on construction of the rockets, culminating with their launch. In this paper, we present the lessons learned during the organization, development, and follow-up of over 50 participating students from several technical and socio-economic backgrounds. A first of its kind in Costa Rica, the camp was organized by the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Costa Rica (UCR) and it was held from July 20th-22nd, 2015 in the campus of the UCR located in the province of Guanacaste. The main objective of the camp was to engage students in the classroom and inspire them to continue their undergraduate studies in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields as well as propel them to integrate the growing cluster of aerospace companies in Costa Rica. There were over 90 participants including staff, invited lecturers, organizers, and students. The camp attracted a large amount of national media coverage since it was the first time senior high school and freshmen university students, both female and male, from all over the country came to work together to, at the end of the camp, launch their sounding rockets with an altimeter as payload. The rockets reach up to 400 meters and after recovery their data was analyzed by the students. In this paper, we will present the application process the students went through, the teaching methodologies applied during the camp, the data representing the background of the participating students, the outcome of the camp, a follow up on the students and the conclusions we have drawn from this initial experience and how we expect to improve it during the upcoming 2016 edition of the camp.

    Proceedings of the NSF/UCR U.S.-Costa Rica Workshop on the Costa Rica earthquakes of 1990-1991 : Effects on soils and structures
    (1993-01) Leon, Roberto T.; Youd, T. Leslie; Santana Barboza, Guillermo
    On April 22, 1991 a major earthquake (Ms= 7.5) shook the eastern part of Costa Rica and northeastern Panama. The earthquake caused 53 deaths, left 30,000 people homeless, and caused over half a billion dollars in property damage and lost revenue. This was the sixth major shock of a series that began with two major events (M = 6.4 and 7.0) centered south of the Nicoya Peninsula on March 25: 1990, and which were followed by three moderate earthquakes (Ms = 6. 4, 6. 3, and 6 .1) during 1991. This report summarizes the results of a workshop on the effects of both the April 22, 1991 Limon earthquake and other earthquakes that occurred in Costa Rica in 1990-1991. The April 1991 earthquake presents a unique opportunity tp study the performance of structures sited on very soft and liquefiable soils. The workshop intended to study and identify research topics dealing with analysis, retrofit, and design techniques to mitigate damage when poor soil conditions exist. Areas identified as possible research topics included:* Characterization of ground motion * Seismic hazard and seismic risk analysis * Response spectra and input motions * Liquefaction and large ground displacements * Highway damage due to liquefaction * Performance of port facilities * Dynamic response of earth dams * Earthquake effects on existing landslides * Large ground deformations under bridge supports * Movements of bridge superstructures * Performance of precast building systems * Evaluation and rehabilitation of buildings * Performance of under-reinforced masonry * Permanent ground displacement effects on buried pipelines * Seismic vulnerability of the Central Valley of Costa Rica For each of these general topics, detailed research projects were discussed and summaries prepared. These summaries appear in Part 2 of this report. To complement the information already available in the literature, written contributions from the keynote speakers at the workshop are included as Part 3 of this report. The workshop participants identified areas where more research was needed and developed topics for joint U.S.-Costa Rica research, with emphasis on lifelines (bridges, water and electrical systems, emergency services, and key industrial facilities). The results of these research projects will be directly applicable to the U.S. practice since large areas of the U.S., including the San Francisco Bay Area, the Mississippi River Valley, Charleston, s.c., Boston, MA, and other are prone to encounter similar problems if subjected to strong ground shaking.

    The interactive Surveying Instructor (ISI) for teaching Optical-Mechanical Instrument Reading in Surveying Engineering
    (2018) Garbanzo León, Jaime; Lara Morales, Gustavo Manuel
    The Interactive Surveying Instructor (ISI) is an extension of the work developed by Garbanzo and Lara (2018), who created a web 2.0 app for teaching leveling in surveying engineering. Two improvements were made to enhance the user experience and include surveying equipment that is important in the initial stages of engineering training: developing a new web interface using Bootstrap 4.0.0 and a module for optical mechanical theodolite. Often, these students have problems practicing in the field because they need a peer to assist them with equipment; this situation can hinder their learning. ISI was developed using PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript, and it is a lightweight web application designed to simulate the equipment readings. Furthermore, the readings made by students are stored in a database for analysis. ISI is operational but is still not suitable for mobile screens. Adapting it for mobile devices is the next step in this project.
