    Structural Health Monitoring of Bridges: Use of Smart Sensors for Data Tracking
    (2024-10) Bogarin-Salinas, Brenda; Stivanello, Julián
    Abstract: The number of accidents that occur in the world in terms of civil structures, specifically bridges, is substantially rising. As a result, the early detection of these failures has become highly important. The purpose of this project is to address this issue by means of the analysis of the use of smart sensors for constant maintenance of bridges through data tracking. To achieve these purposes, this paper is divided into four different sections that imply the challenges in bridge safety, the application of smart sensors, and the advantages and disadvantages of this system. This paper is expected to contribute to enhancing safety, optimizing maintenance and achieving Sustainable Development Goal #9 by promoting resilient infrastructure and innovation.

    Artificial Intelligence for Forest Conservation in Argentina: Innovative Approaches to Prevent Deforestation
    (Inglés II. Universidad Tecnológica Nacional. Facultad Regional Paraná, 2024) Bill, Baltazar; Martínez Casares, Nicolás
    Summary— Deforestation poses significant global challenges with profound environmental, economic, and social implications. This paper examines the causes and impacts of deforestation in Argentina, emphasizing the critical need for effective conservation strategies to preserve these essential ecosystems. It advocates for the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI), utilizing audio recognition and satellite monitoring technologies, as innovative tools to combat illegal deforestation and enhance sustainable forest management. The feasibility of these AI solutions hinges on robust technological infrastructure, economic viability, and practical implementation, necessitating collaboration among technology providers, local communities, and governmental bodies. Successful integration of AI stands to bolster Argentina's forest conservation efforts, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals and ensuring long-term forest protection.

    Tackling Housing Challenges in Vulnerable Communities: Sustainable Construction Using Recycled PET Plastic Bricks
    (Inglés II. Universidad Tecnológica Nacional. Facultad Regional Paraná, 2024) Ayala, Sebastián; Diaz, Valentín; Grippo, Genaro
    Abstract— Inadequate housing affects over 1.8 billion people globally and poses significant risks to human dignity and public health. Despite being a fundamental human right, many individuals face eviction and homelessness. To combat this crisis, sustainable construction technologies, particularly those utilizing recycled plastics, offer a dual solution: mitigating the housing shortage while managing environmental waste. This study aims to evaluate the impact of using recycled materials in housing construction, focusing on its effectiveness in areas with severe housing deficits. This paper is organized into three main sections: contextualizing the housing crisis, analyzing its causes and consequences, and presenting and assessing the proposed solution. By examining reliable data and evaluating the feasibility of this innovative approach, the study seeks to provide engineers and stakeholders with actionable insights into sustainable and efficient housing solutions. Ultimately, this research is expected to contribute to both addressing urgent social needs and advancing sustainable development goals.

    Urban Heat Islands: Green Roofs as a Potential Way to Attenuate Temperatures in Cities
    (2024-02-27) Romero, Juliana
    The excessive construction and the destruction of green spaces have had notable consequences on the environment within cities. Under this context, green roofs have been proposed to attenuate these issues and to achieve sustainable building practices. In this paper, technical and construction aspects of green roofs are used to classify different systems. By reviewing the benefits related to the mitigation of the urban heat island effect, reduction in building energy consumption, improvement of air pollution, water management and increase in sound insulation, among others, this paper shows how green roofs may contribute to more sustainable buildings and cities. It is expected that this paper may not only propose a solution, but it may also raise awareness of the importance of urban greenery.
