Professional interest

The subject is based on a continuation and intensification of the behavior and structure analysis and solid mechanics in the subject starts 2nd year: Calculation of structures and construction. Finally, the last part of the subject introduces basic concepts of soil mechanics in order to know the soil as a structural material.

Methodology and grading

Methodology

Case studies: Learning through the analysis of actual or simulated cases in order to interpret and resolve them by employing various alternative solution procedures.
Lecture: Pass on knowledge and activate cognitive processes in students, encouraging their participation.
Solving exercises and problems: Exercise, test, and apply previous knowledge through routine repetition.

Grading

1. Accomplishment of a work (report of practices).
Initially of the semester one will propose the production of a report that will have to be delivered at the end of the last three practices. The delivery of the alone report will be possible to those pupils who have been present at the meetings practices, which are voluntary, and his value will be 2 points on the final note.

2. Examination.
This test will consist of the resolution of several practical exercises. The one who has delivered the report of practices, will be able to stop realizing paragraphs that add the quantity of 2 points.

The one who has not realized the report of practices will have to do all the paragraphs of the examination and will count on 10.

Additional requirements

It is recommended to take the calculator exam
