Climate change and land-use change influence hydrological processes in a basin, thereby affecting water production. The Cañar River basin originates in the Andean moors and flows into the Pacific Ocean, covering areas of great importance for conservation and agriculture. The basin exhibits a high degree of climatic and ecosystem variability. Two scenarios were proposed and studied using a semi-distributed hydrological model: a) a future climate scenario based on the projection of historical precipitation and temperature trends observed from 1985 to 2010 at 9 stations distributed throughout the basin, and b) a future soil use scenario derived from a multi-temporal analysis of land use, explanatory variables, and transition models. The analysis revealed an increase in precipitation during the rainy season and a decrease in precipitation during the dry season, resulting in a slight reduction in annual precipitation. During the study period, an increase in temperatures is observed in the low and high zones, while in the middle zone, there is a slight reduction in temperatures. The most significant land use changes were observed in natural vegetation, which experienced a significant reduction in area. If the observed climatic trends persist, precipitation would be expected to be concentrated mainly in the rainy season, leading to increased water availability during that period and a significant decrease during the dry season.

Honduras is a country that lacks the development of rail transport for the mobilization of cargo within the territory, generating congestion on the roads and problems of merchandise since practically only road transport is available within the country. The country has a privileged geographic location due to its location in the heart of America, making it attractive for several entities to be part of a project to implement a 730 km freight train from the customs office in Puerto Cortes, making the entire journey in the Honduran territory and returning to its starting point. The objective of this work is to propose a graphical method to determine the route of a freight train in Honduras. This method is based on identifying on a map protected zones, import/export zones, cargo ports and customs, determined by the number of containerized cargo passing through the country. As a result, a route for the freight train is obtained that prioritizes the areas with the highest container movement, avoiding the passage through the highways of some of the country's major cities. The main contribution is the proposal of a graphic and systematic methodology to evaluate the possible logistic transport routes that give continuity to this initiative.

Soil excavation, including extraction from rivers, lakes, and marine sediments, can lead to a large surplus of clean or slightly contaminated excavated soil. All excavated soil is treated as waste until it is reused. Therefore, the reuse of excavated soil is an important part of sustainable construction, which also helps reduce carbon emissions and lower the cost of earthworks. The reuse of excavated soil is generally viewed positively, but there is a lack of uniform definition of construction waste and a lack of guidance and understanding of reuse. This article discusses the use of excavated soil and provides advice for good practice in the future, considering regulatory, economic, environmental, and implementation aspects. Regulatory aspects refer to the complex legislation and the lack of guidelines for reusing excavated soil. Economic aspects relate to integrated planning, including contracts for construction projects, and the interest of those involved in construction. The environmental aspect includes the impact of reused material on the soil. Logistical obstacles are discussed, which include both spatial and temporal problems due to difficulties in moving excavated soil, storing it, and coordinating supply and demand. Barriers to performing the work are related to the lack of standardization of tests to demonstrate that the geochemical and geotechnical quality of the excavated soil is suitable for reuse. Examples of the reuse of surface, river, lake, and marine soils and possible solutions to overcome the barriers to their use contributed to a proposal for increased use of excavated soils and sediments.

Sustainable design and construction have become increasingly important in today's world due to the need for environmental protection and resource conservation. This paper promotes sustainable principles and learning objectives that support related skills by describing a pedagogical tool that uses the built environment as a learning model. Specifically, the paper describes a video assignment used in classes at two Universities focused on teaching sustainability, where teams of graduate and undergraduate students select building projects and create video tours that highlight the sustainable strategies implemented. The assignment requires selecting a building with sustainable features such as energy, water, indoor air quality, materials, site, or social sustainability. The videos are posted on YouTube, making them accessible to a broader audience. This assignment allows students to explore and identify sustainability principles by creating video tours that educate the campus community about sustainable design and construction. By highlighting the sustainable strategies used in the built environment, the assignment aims to raise awareness about the presence and importance of sustainable design and construction, as well as encourage the adoption of these principles in future construction projects. In addition to describing this assignment as a pedagogical tool to improve the teaching of sustainability concepts, this paper presents a rubric to assess what is being taught (sustainable building features) and how it is being communicated.

The PRO.CRE.AR. Bicentenario (Argentine Bicentennial Single-Family Housing Credit Program) implemented between 2012 and 2015 approximately, included a model of wooden houses, thus enhancing in Argentina the opportunity to have a house built with industrialized wooden elements. The paper compares at a conceptual level the construction of the same house (similar to the prototype named “Maderera”) as a traditional building, i.e., with brick masonry and reinforced concrete, and instead with industrialized wood construction as funded by the PRO.CRE.AR program: the comparison focuses on the amount of CO2 incorporated in the two constructive solutions. Alongside this assessment, conducted on the basis of estimated quantities of materials and data found in the literature, the paper examines the amount of CO2 not produced over the lifetime of the house when photovoltaic elements and solar panels are possibly adopted for local energy production and then discusses the positive impact of any energy storage systems. The results regarding the building energy demand and the CO2 saved support the choice of building industrialization for the wood supply chain, propose additional options for the deployment of wood construction, and evaluate the impact of home PV & solar panels for sustainability and integration into the technological system.

Plastic waste poses significant environmental challenges due to its widespread use and long-lasting nature. In the search for sustainable construction solutions, this study presents a systematic review of international research spanning two decades on the integration of recycled plastics into concrete mixtures, either as aggregates or fibers. Applying strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, 97 of the 187 articles initially identified were analyzed in depth. Key findings indicate that the introduction of plastics can influence essential concrete properties such as density, compressive strength and thermal conductivity. The effectiveness of plastic integration largely depends on factors such as the type, size and shape of the plastic used. In particular, the research reveals that the use of plastic fibers can improve crack resistance, influenced by the size and type of fiber. Depending on the application, an optimal plastic replacement percentage is usually between 10% and 20%. This review highlights the potential of recycled plastics to increase the properties of concrete, offering an environmentally friendly route to reduce plastic waste and promote sustainable construction.

The following research paper analyzes the evolution of financial variables considered in residential real estate projects in Quito, Ecuador. The analysis depends on the general characteristics of each project, from 2006 until the present. Specifically, the analysis relates the profitability of a series of projects with their type, total size in square meters, and general costs of construction, among other factors. For this, 344 real estate business plans were studied to obtain general information of the construction, and later categorized according to financial variables established. Usually, the initial planning of construction projects is not fully accomplished, due to such factors as the owner, design, location, or financial reasons, among others. As demonstrated, the misuse of resources has caused delays in the construction process, leading to economic loss. Essentially, the financial planning must provide a detailed explanation of the behavior of the variables affecting the proposed project's viability and financial efficiency. These variables must achieve optimal and positive annual profitability for the project to be successful. The results obtained for general and annual profitability find that general characteristics, such as type and size, affected profitability by increasing chronologically. Additionally, it was found that general profitability was most beneficial for a specific type of building and house, regarding its size, which is an essential financial factor to consider when investing or carrying out the construction of any real estate project.

Water erosion reduces soil fertility and productivity, negatively impacting crop yields. The transported material not only affects water quality but also significantly shortens the lifespan of water infrastructure. The Catamayo-Chira transboundary basin, spanning an area of 17,199 km2, serves as the primary water source for agriculture in the Ecuador-Peru border. Ongoing sediment production within the basin has drastically decreased the volume of the Poechos reservoir, northern Peru's largest irrigation system, raising concerns about its potential complete filling in the near future. To identify vulnerable areas to water erosion, the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) was utilized. By integrating meteorological, topographic, land use, and soil type data, a GIS-based model was developed to map the spatial variation of soil loss. This approach facilitated the identification of critical areas necessitating soil conservation actions. Within the basin, approximately 65% of the land exhibits high to critical erosion due to a combination of intense rainfall, steep slopes, limited vegetation cover, and erodible soils. Soil losses of around 200 tons per year have been observed. In the absence of effective soil loss management practices, sediment production, and transportation continue to pose significant challenges for the expansive agricultural lands in northern Peru, thereby jeopardizing regional food security.

The objective of this work is to compare the Special Moment Frame (SMF) system and the Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) system using the AHP multi-criteria comparison method with the two Seismic Load Resisting Systems (SFRS). From the linear static analysis, dynamic analysis, and nonlinear static analysis (Pushover), representative characteristics of each Seismic Force-Resisting System (SFRS) are determined. These characteristics include the structure's self-weight, target displacement, floor drifts, and seismic response modification factor (R). As a result, two buildings are obtained with different SFRS that comply with the design of their elements and checks according to the regulatory requirements. After determining the capacity curve of each Seismic Force-Resisting System (SFRS) and assessing the performance level of the buildings, the conclusion is drawn that the Special Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) system is more suitable and advantageous compared to the Special Moment Frame (SMF) system. This preference is due to the SPSW system's ability to provide ductility, which translates into higher energy dissipation capacity, and stiffness, which leads to reduced floor drifts in the building.

Fire safety and built heritage preservation are significant topics in engineering and architecture. Meeting the requirements of both issues in a revaluation or reconstruction project often leads to conflicts that hardly can be resolved to the satisfaction of both interests. Thus, for example, on the one side, installation of fire exit signs or the placement of fire extinguishers affect the historical appearance of built heritage. On the other side, these installations are essential for fire safety. The authors inform about requirements from fire safety and built heritage preservation with a focus on German law. They discuss relevant recent research literature as well as rules and regulations. Furthermore, the authors analyze current court cases, focused on the conflict between organizational and technological fire safety installations and the historical appearance of built heritage. The conclusion is that organizational and technological fire protection installations may negatively affect the historical appearance of built heritage.

Meeting the requirements of both issues in a revaluation or reconstruction project often leads to conflicts that hardly can be resolved to the satisfaction of both interests. Thus, for example, on the one side, installation of fire exit signs or the placement of fire extinguishers affect the historical appearance of built heritage. On the other side, these installations are essential for fire safety. The authors inform about requirements from fire safety and built heritage preservation with a focus on German law. They discuss relevant recent research literature as well as rules and regulations. Furthermore, the authors analyze current court cases, focused on the conflict between organizational and technological fire safety installations and the historical appearance of built heritage. The conclusion is that organizational and technological fire protection installations may negatively affect the historical appearance of built heritage. Nevertheless, in acknowledging the importance of both issues for the society, solutions to balance these interests must and can be found.","PeriodicalId":477265,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction","volume":"126 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140276914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
