Objetivos
It is intended to initiate students on the basis of structural analysis of buildings, with the identification of existing actions and definition of actions to be taken in the design. In addition, an introduction to the dynamics of structures and seismic engineering is made, in order to lbe able to estimate the seismic action to be considered in the building. It is intended that, in the analysis of an existing structure, students will be able to define methodologies and calculation models to be used in the verification of its safety.

Observações
Due to the contact of the pandemic that caused the classes to be given at a distance and the evaluations to be also at a distance, there was also the completion of oral tests to measure the results.
