El día 22 de noviembre de 2016, nos visitó el profesor Yahya C. Kurama de la Universidad de Notre Dame, el cual realizó una interesante presentación en el Seminario: Use of High-Strength Concrete and High Strength Rebars in Shear Walls / Recycle Concrete Aggregates in Prestressed Concrete. Esta actividad dio lugar en la sala de clases de nuestro departamento de 10:30 a 12:00 hrs.
Esta actividad fue encabezada por el profesor Mauricio López, The Clover 2030 y gracias al apoyo de Corfo.
