MEC043 - ECTS tudents should acquire basic knowledge in the domain of the conservation and rehabilitation of old buildings (i.e. before the advent of reinforced concrete), in order to enable them to: identify and describe the materials and the construction processes of old constructions, identify the damages and enumerate the probable causes of degradation, describe the different deterioration mechanisms, define the methodology of tests and inspections and analysis of an old structure, define the objectives of a rehabilitation intervention, select the appropriate rehabilitation techniques and specify the properties of the products and systems to be applied, regarding the requirements of the habitation rehabilitation, the principles for the analysis, conservation and structural restoration of old buildings and architectural heritage and the International Charters and Resolutions.

MEC115 - ECTS The main objective is to initiate students to the study of Structural Dynamics. Earthquake Engineering problems are studied based on previous knowledge. Basics of Seismic Engineering are revised in seismic structural response context. At the end of the course students will acquire the ability to perform seismic analysis of structures in the context of Eurocode 8.

Analyze quality systems and documentation, their framework and applicability in the civil construction sector. Analyze the qualification of products, processes or systems of people and organizations. Analyze, evaluate and systematically plan a process or a system within the civil construction sector, integrating the principles, standards, methodologies and tools within the scope of quality. Analyze the concepts, evolution, general principles of economy and functioning in society and in the civil construction sector. Analyze the economic and financing instruments of organizations. Assess the economic viability of alternative projects, through cost / benefit analysis; investment period and decision-maker behavior in the face of uncertainty and risk. Apply computer tools in financial feasibility and calculation studies.

MEC136 - ECTS It is intended that students become eligible for sizing of prestressed beams. Students must understand all procedures related to the security to the design limit states and service limit states of presstressed beams, including design and detail. Some basic knowledge about concrete structures are also revised to complement syllabus contents of Structural Concrete I (strut and tie models, punching shear and durability of concrete structures) and also intends to consolidate the knowledge about design of concrete columns and beams.

MEC046 - ECTS

Concerning reinforced concrete and steel structures, knowing thoroughly the properties of materials and corresponding deterioration mechanisms under external and internal actions. To have basic knowledge as regards the assessment of structures with the results of inspections. To know how to interpret inspection reports in order to allow identifying anomalies and their possible causes. To know thoroughly the relevant rehabilitation techniques used currently taking into account the materials, systems and methods. To implement o acquired knowledge to a practical case of rehabilitation project – RC or steel – identifying associated problems considering, with critical approach, several hypothetical solutions and/or an assembly of these. Introduction to the maintenance of structures

MEC116 - ECTS Consolidation and development of the knowledge acquired in precedent course units (Soil Mechanics and Foundations and Retaining Structures) and appliance to various types of geotechnical works, mainly shallow foundations and deep foundations.

MEC137 - ECTS The objetive of this course is to give basic training on reinforced concrete buildings design. Consolidate and aggregate formation in the areas of structures and concrete and empower its articulation with training in the
areas of construction, directing them to prepare a final product: the design of structures. Enabling the use of
software tools for structural analysis and computer aided design. Develop a critical spirit in relation to the
phases of development, including modeling and analysis and verification of results. Structuring and
representing information constituent of a project.

MEC138 - ECTS

Transmitting knowledge related with the construction products directive. Provide scientific and technical expertise in the field of construction materials, including concrete, steel and aluminum, polymers, composite materials and new building materials, through the analysis of raw materials, processing techniques, properties and their evaluation, standardization and application in force. To provide students knowledge and skills related to trial activity/laboratory.
Specific skills: Enunciate, interpret and solve engineering problems to interpret and use manuals and other technical documents, in your native language and other Training so that they can practice their profession of engineer with analytical capacity, critical spirit and innovative direction.
General skills: Use the technical and scientific literature data Collects, analyses, characterizes and produces information organize and plan work knows how to work in a team.
