WELCOME
It is with immense pleasure that we present
The First Latin American Conference in Structural Engineering and Construction LATAM SEC a part of the International Structural Engineering and Construction (ISEC) Society’s conference series. Hosted by Pontificia University Católica del Ecuador, in Quito Ecuador and was held 4-8 March 2024.
During the planning of The First Latin American Conference in Structural Engineering and Construction LATAM SEC 2024, the environmental and social situation globally and particularly en Ecuador escalated in a negative way which made us realize that we were, and are, in fact, honoring our conference commitment:
"Leading Construction Technology Systems for Today's Environmental and Social Crises" seeing our professions with their most positive impact in our society.
The natural resources Globaly are being rapidly depleted and the environment compromised due to the great rate of resource consumption, such as excessive energy consumption, increased mining, and massive overbuilding in the built environment.
This takes a toll environmentally, global warming, exhaustion of forest resources, water scarcity, and collapsed waste management. All these facts trigger social despair and consequently insecurity.
Correspondingly, sustainable and socially aware solutions in structural engineering and construction are a greater challenge than ever before. The LATAM SEC collaborative international conference for researchers serves as a practical and efficient mechanism for discussing and seeking solutions to the problems created by excessive consumption and social despair behavior. The conference procceding contains technical papers presented at the Conference. There are 75 articles by 254 authors and co-authors from 7 countries.
All of the articles have been selected after a rigorous peer-review process of two stages -the abstract review and the full paper review. 62 papers where presented in parallel technical sessions provide opportunity for discussion points on the latest research methods and practices being conducted globally.Topics covered in this book are in the multidisciplinary area of Civil Engineering, including legal affairs and contracting, construction technology and innovation, facilities and asset management, project management and risk analysis, safety and quality, territorial planning and development, analysis and design of structural systems, culture and heritage, materials, pavement, architecture, water infrastructure and management, education and sustainability, and many more.
During the difficult times for Ecuador in which LATAM SEC 2024 was held, we would like to thank all the local support, the authors published in this book for their contribution. Thank you also to the members of the International Technical Committee and all of the reviewers, copyeditors, and proofreaders for their assistance in the review process. Last but not least, thank you to all the conference participants for sharing their ideas, knowledge, and fruitful discussions during the technical sessions.
We hope that this conference contributes to future cooperation amongst professionals in Structural Engineering and Construction in and outside the region

Title:
Natural Materials in Construction an approach to environmental and social crises
TUESDAY, March 5, 2024 09:30 - 10:00 PUCE- FADA AUDITORIUM
Earthen construction technologies, due to their low impact on the carbon footprint, allow them to be environmentally friendly and due to their high labor use, they allow construction costs to have a greater impact on the income of construction workers and not on the acquisition of industrialized materials that favor large national and transnational companies.
The Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emitted into the atmosphere and which are directly associated with global warming, is defined as carbon footprint, with the construction industry being the most polluting, especially due to the production and use of cement.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER II Carlos Celi
Professor
The responsibility of construction companies is to ensure the use of low-impact materials. The increasingly growing trend of generating architecture based on the use of earth, as a basic construction element, allows mitigating GHGs and consequently lowering carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Comparing the carbon footprint, of cement and earth based construction systems through there extraction and disposal process combined with the economical consequences of industrialized due to the displacement of manual labor.

Title:
Estimation of damage in structures of special use
WEDNESDAY, March 6, 2024 09:30 - 10:00 PUCE- FADA AUDITORIUM
This study focuses on the estimation of damage in structures of special use and offers a concise review of techniques used in the seismic evaluation of buildings with fixed base and base isolation. Nonlinear analysis tools and a probabilistic approach, employing parametric analysis adjusted to a lognormal distribution, are employed. The capacity spectrum methodology (CSM) is used to derive capacity curves. With the aim of promoting the use of isolation systems in Ecuador, where they are not mandatory according to building codes, an essential 6-story structure is modeled with both fixed base and various configurations of base isolation using LRB and variations in their geometric and mechanical properties. The impact of these variations in the mathematical models on the performance of the superstructure is analyzed.
The nonlinear behavior of the structure is captured through capacity curves, which are then extrapolated to fragility curves using direct static methods (MED). The capacity curves are limited based on the local fragility of the lateral load-resisting system, recognizing that numerical stability analysis may provide more conservative estimates of global ductility. The analysis and generation of results are carried out using Matlab and OpenSees routines.
The results are presented in damage probability matrices for seismic scenarios defined by target displacements. This research aims to enhance the understanding and evaluation of the performance of structures of special use and promote the utilization of isolation systems in Ecuador.

Who would have imagined participating in EURO MED SEC 01-Turkey 2016 and constant participation in ISEC, EURO MED SEC, and ASEA SEC conferences would lead to a meaningful collaboration that brought us LATAM SEC 2024, the first Latin American ISEC conference?
We are grateful for the trust put in us by the ISEC Society and our academic institution, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador. All this effort is a teamwork venture through over 23 years of ISEC Society. We are delighted to bring to Latin America de ISEC conferences the necessary spirit of social and environmental responsibility that our field of study must have.
We give special thanks to ISEC Society Chairman, President Dr. Amarjit Singh, Secretary Dr. Frank Yazdani, and all regional representatives and conference committee members who have made the conference and proceedings possible. We hope to see you at the next LATAM SEC held in the Galapagos Islands.

Social crisis and a pandemic were the significant challenges to finally host the first Latin American Structural Engineering and Construction Conference in Quito, Ecuador.
With the experience of the ISEC Society with international conferences and the support of Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, the School of Architecture, Design and Arts, and the School of Engineering, it has been possible to share research results and experiences while having a taste of Ecuador's culture, in the hopes of more connections and interactions in the region and worldwide thru Leading Construction Technology Systems for Today's Environmental and Social Crises", the conference theme.
Thank you to all authors, local committee and volunteers who made the event LATAM SEC 2024 possible. We look forward to LATAM SEC 2, which may be held on the Galapagos Islands.
Every element, image, and product was focused on the conference theme. The conference bags were made by “Centro una Familia de Familias," an NGO that shares social and environmental responsibility.
“We respect the dignity of children and families. We do not seek or support charity for working children. Instead, we seek to develop skills and create opportunities.”
