Objectives

Based on the knowledge gained in the study of Strength of Materials complemented with concepts from the Theory of Instability and with specific regulations, a series of common problems in the area of Steel and Composite Steel-concrete structures are proposed. These applications will allow future engineers an easy integration into practical civil engineering activity.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Practical course including sessions for presentation of subjects and discussion of design methodologies and individual resolution of practical assignements.
Distributed evaluation by individual presentation of design study or final exam.

DEMONSTRATION OF THE COHERENCE BETWEEN THE TEACHING METHODOLOGIES AND THE LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Teaching methodologies involve the study of main themes related to the design of steel and composite structures, analysis, discussion and critical interpretation of results, emphasising the potential of written communication, problem formulation and design verification.
