DESCRIPTION:

The subject can be considered as a continuation of Elasticity and Resistance of Materials, studied in the previous semester. There students are introduced to the study of diverse techniques for the analysis of structures, that is, of methods that allow to determine the state of strains, stresses and deformations in the diverse components of a structure under outside actions.

In particular the subject is centered in the study of such components following the regulations in force. To achieve this aim in the first introductory chapter the student is familiarized with the corresponding regulatory documents. Afterwards metallic structures are studied, reviewing certain concepts such as structural design, structural security, limit states, structures with tie bar joints, structures with rigid joints, actions to take into account in building, calculating and dimensioning of metallic elements. Later on reinforced concrete parts are studied, explaining also the regulations in force in this case, and then concepts such as materials forming the concrete, durability, properties, calculi basis of the reinforced concrete and dimensioning of parts made of this material are analyzed.

COMPETENCES:

TEM1: Knowledge and ability to apply techniques from graphic engineering (SC)

TEM4: Knowledge and ability to apply the basis of the elasticity and resistance of materials to real solids behavior (SC)

TEM5: Knowledge and ability to calculate and design industrial structures and constructions (SC)

C4: Capacity to solve problems with initiative, making decisions, creativity, and critic reasoning, and to comunicate and transmit knowledge, abilities, and skills in the field of engineering (SC)

C7: Capacity to analyze and asses the social and environmental impact of the tehcnical solutions (CT)

C10: Capacity to work in a multilingual and multidisciplinary environment (CT)

FB9: Work efficiently in teams integrating capacities and knowledge to make decisions in the field of engineering (CT)

FB10: Adopt a responsible attitude, organized in work and ready for learning, developing resources for autonomous work (CT)



*SC: Specific Competence; TC: Transversal Competence



LEARNING RESULTS:

-Know, understand and apply the theoretical and technological concepts required to identify and suggest structural systems, concepts which provide to the student with the necessary training to fulfill the regulatory requisites and the required functionality.

-Apply the proper strategies of the scientific methodology: analyze the problematic situation qualitatively and quantitatively; suggest hypothesis and solutions to solve structural problems of different complexity.

-Communicate in a proper way the knowledge, procedures, results, skills and aspects related to the structural design, making use of the specific vocabulary and terminology, and the suitable means.

-Work efficiently in multidisciplinary and multilingual environments integrating skills and knowledge to adopt decisions related to the design and management of structural projects in industry.

-Develop designs and projects in the field of industrial constructions according to the corresponding constructive technology and making use of the available techniques and tools to solve structural problems.

-Know, understand and apply the legislation, specifications, regulations and norms of binding compliance in the industrial construction field.

  • Written test to be taken (%): 60
  • Realization of Practical Work (exercises, cases or problems) (%): 5
  • Individual works (%): 5
  • Team projects (problem solving, project design)) (%): 20

TO GIVE UP THE CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT CALL:

Due to the fact that our final exam weights a 60% of the total mark of the subject all students, following the continuous assessment or final evaluation, will give up the evaluation call by simply not coming to the final exam.

Additionally, students can present their giving up of the continuous assessment officially by following the procedure described in the regulation, up to the ninth week from the begining of the semester, and in the period indicated by the regulation on docent-planning and evaluation of the Teaching/Learning. Also, it will be communicated to the docent responsible of the subject. The regulation can be found in the following link:
