General description After completing the course on foundations, the student will be able to effectively identify, confront and assess the usual problems that the usual foundation and containment structures may present within the context of the new architectural work. In order to develop these capacities, the necessary knowledge regarding the mechanics of the soil and the basic techniques of projecting and calculating the foundation and containment elements will be provided, complementing this knowledge with the existing bibliography and regulations. These contents will be exposed in the theory classes. To guarantee that the student is able to apply this knowledge adequately, a series of practical classes are proposed that will deal with the project, design and calculation of foundation elements, complemented by carrying out specific work on the subject. These works will be related to the professional activity of the architect within the specific content of this subject.
Contingency plan SCENARIO 1 A first scenario is proposed in which, due to the capacity of the classrooms or other types of reasons, it is not feasible to do face-to-face teaching in expository classes (master sessions), while interactive and workshop teaching, as they are smaller groups of students can continue to be taught in person. In this situation, the only change foreseen affects the teaching methodology used in the master sessions that will be held in online format with the help of the Teams platform included in Office365. There are no changes in the content of the subject, nor in the mechanisms of personalized attention to the student, nor in the evaluation criteria. SCENARIO 2 A second scenario is proposed in which, in the event of possible confinement, any type of classroom teaching is not feasible. In such case, the planned changes are as follows: 1. Modifications to us No changes are made 2. Methodologies * Teaching methodologies that are maintained None * Teaching methodologies that are modified Master session, problem solving, workshop, diagrams, mixed test. The impossibility of continuing to use both methodologies in face-to-face format requires the adoption of alternative strategies that facilitate learning regardless of possible contingencies related to the equipment and connection of the student body. Therefore, it is chosen to provide the necessary documentation through the Moodle platform to continue advancing in the training program, and the rest of the tasks are carried out with the help of the Teams platform included in Office365. 3. Mechanisms of personalized attention to or students Moodle, virtual forum. The forum remains open throughout the school period, with teachers responding to possible queries both during virtual sessions and during official tutoring hours. Teams, virtual meetings and channels. Communication channels (general and by groups) are kept open so that the student can make inquiries. E-mail 4. Modifications under evaluation Mixed tests. Rating weight 70% To be developed online through Forms or some other institutional tool that facilitates the electronic contribution of answers, images or other types of documents that allow assessing the level of competence acquired by the student in the subject. Practices and / or Workshop. Weight in the 30% rating. The general practice that will take place in the workshop and the practices carried out during the course are included in this section.. * Observations of assessment: The indicated evaluation criteria are maintained. Students who, for justified reasons related to computer equipment or connection, duly accredited, could not take the exams corresponding to the mixed tests online, will have the right to carry out these mixed tests orally, an essential requirement being to request it by email the same day of the exam, after which they will be opportunely summoned for its realization. 5. Modifications of the bibliography or webgraphy No changes are made.
