Learning outcomes and competences

To develop or to upgrade knowledge related with timber materials, architecture and structures

Working method

Presencial

Program

Non-destructive assessment of physical and mechanical properties of wood elements in existing constructions;
Physical properties and calculation of wood and derivates to use in structures;
Wood structure design;
Wood eco-efficient treatment;
Mechanical and functional rehabilitation of wood pavements and traditional structural covering;
Little intrusive architectonic requalification of buildings with wood pavements and coverings;
Rehabilitation of non-structural elements made of wood.

DEMONSTRATION OF THE SYLLABUS COHERENCE WITH THE CURRICULAR UNIT'S OBJECTIVES:
