Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
The discipline seeks to complement the knowledge previously acquired by students under the chairs of Construction Materials. Special emphasis is given to technological aspects, such as the type of equipment used and methodologies adopted in the implementation of all kinds of works of Construction, with a special focus on the construction of buildings of reinforced concrete.
Syllabus:
Design: phases and involved bodies. Types of structural elements. Concrete production. Concrete formwork. Demolition techniques. Foundations: shallow and deep. Earth retaining structures: pile-walls, Berlin and Munich type walls.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The syllabus presented cover the areas of essential knowledge and consistent to achieve the objectives set, given that the topics included in the program - description and detail of the phases and construction methods of the various elements that make up a building, such as the movement of soil, the demolition and construction of foundations, retaining structures, columns, beams and slabs of reinforced concrete shear walls or filler, etc. - cover the main aspects of the study that enables the student to apply the knowledge gained to practical cases, acquiring the basics of construction processes necessary for the development of other curriculum and essential to the profession of civil engineer.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The method of evaluation of the course is based on the model of continuous assessment and consists of two written tests of theoretical nature - each one with a weight of 35% of the final grade, the student's participation in class, with a weight of 5 % of the final grade and the work proposed by the teacher, with a weight of 25% in the final grade.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
The proposed methodologies are consistent with the objectives set for the course given which support the development of guided study, seeking to draw a parallel between theory and practice applied to real problems, giving the student the necessary knowledge of the major construction processes, ensuring a solid foundation for further development in other disciplines of da course and for the future profession of a civil engineer.
