    Estado del arte de los nanobots (mems) para la salud estructural del concreto en Colombia
    (Universidad Francisco José de Caldas) González López, Nicolas Alejandro; Mena Serna, Milton
    Construction plays a crucial role in Colombia's economy, serving as a key driver for infrastructure development and social well-being. However, the industry faces significant challenges related to the quality and durability of concrete structures, essential elements for ensuring the long-term safety and functionality of buildings. In this context, accurate methods for monitoring the internal conditions of concrete during setting and throughout its service life are essential. Traditionally, assessment approaches have relied on external measurements, which do not provide reliable information on critical internal parameters such as temperature and humidity. This limitation can cause defects in the setting process and lead to premature pathologies, such as corrosion, that compromise structural integrity. The humid tropical climate of various regions of Colombia, characterized by high temperatures and constant rainfall, intensifies the risks derived from extreme variations in temperature and humidity within the concrete. These adverse weather conditions can negatively affect concrete performance, making the implementation of more accurate and effective internal monitoring systems even more urgent. In recent years, major infrastructure projects have been undertaken in Colombia, such as hydroelectric plants, dams, and bridges, requiring continuous monitoring to ensure their long-term structural performance. Given this scenario, this research proposal explores the use of nanobots, specifically microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), as an innovative solution for nondestructive monitoring of internal concrete conditions. MEMS are state-of-the-art nanobot (MEMS) devices for the structural health of concrete in Colombia. Miniaturized devices integrate micrometer-scale mechanical and electronic components, allowing their insertion into the concrete mix without affecting its properties. These nanodevices enable real-time data collection on critical variables such as temperature and humidity, providing continuous assessment of concrete condition and facilitating informed decision-making during the construction process. Nanotechnology, and more specifically the development of nanosensors, has represented a significant advance in the monitoring capacity of concrete structures. Previous research has demonstrated the feasibility of using MEMS sensors to measure essential variables within cementitious matrices, enabling precise and continuous measurements. This approach not only improves building quality but also optimizes construction processes, ensuring safer and more durable buildings.

    Estado del arte sobre el método del túnel de viento en Colombia para medir su fiabilidad
    (Universidad Francisco Jose de Caldas) Orjuela Gaitan, Michael Esteban; Mena Serna, Milton
    The measurement of wind loads on structures is a fundamental part for the design resistant to adverse effects, the NSR-10 in title B (Loads) presents 3 models for this analysis through the simplified procedure, analytical procedure and wind tunnel; The wind tunnel procedure is used when the results of the previous methods are not sufficient to determine the stability of the structure, to supply this problem the structure is modeled to scale to subject it to stability tests and estimation of forces simulating wind conditions as close to reality as possible. Many of the investigations for load problems have been done through the wind tunnel procedure, at the time and one of the most famous is the fall of the Tacoma Narros Bridge (USA, 1940) part by which research of this type of forces were encouraged, in that investigation through a conventional wind tunnel and over the years in different projects its fall is adjusted by the Resonance effect (determined by the Natural frequency of the structure), in recent research from the University of the Basque Country. In Spain, it was concluded that its fall was actually due to an effect called fluttering due to combined suction and pressure forces. This leads us to question the veracity of the results of other investigations and leads us to our main problem.
