Become aware of the correlation between architectural design and construction solutions, the constraints imposed by the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of building materials and construction systems for the execution of works features. Acquiring the basic vocabulary of the construction which permits identification of members of the major building systems and structural foundations, vertical walls, roofs, vertical communications, partitions and window and door joinery elements. Knowing the basics of building structural systems with load-bearing walls and arcaded factory with metal and concrete elements in correspondence with constructive solutions to cover the vain systems: systems of wood and stone lintels, vaulted systems and horizontal slabs, floor slabs, plates. Industrialized slabs, nerves and joists. Know the elements of building systems of surface and deep foundations and retaining walls and understand the logic of its operation and implementation procedures. Know the basic building design conditions of vertical communications, stairs and ramps, the escape routes of the buildings and of the barriers to protect slopes. Knowing elementary level the construction and design of the vertical walls to fulfill thermal conditions, hygrothermal, acoustic, fire protection and stability and resistance to mechanical conditions. Knowing elementary constructive elements design conditions lighting and ventilation of buildings. Knowing elementary level the construction and design of slanted and flat for the fulfillment of the conditions of waterproof, thermal, hygrothermal, acoustic and fire protection overcast conditions. Knowing elementary level the construction and design of the elements of heavy or lightweight partitions. https://guiadocente.udc.es/docencia/images/refresh.gif A4

Assessment comments

The
students of the Bologna 1 -non-teaching - can attend classes and are
encouraged to do so, in which case they will have equal conditions of
evaluation to students of the Bologna 2. In case of absence, the evaluation
will be done with differential test (50%, minimum 4) and the day of the exam  they will have to present all the practices (30%, mínimum 4 on each), and
their portfolio (20%). 

In the case of attendance at classes, to carry out the global
assessment of the subject in each of the two occasions, both in the first and
in the second, they will have  the same
conditions as the students of the Bologna 2, and as a result of it, the student will need:

To make an overall assessment of the course in each of the two occasions -first and second-, 

1. Perform Objective test, obtaining at least 40% of the maximum possible score.

2. Present all practices at the Workshop, obtaining at least in each, 40% of the maximum possible score.

3. Attend in person, at least 80% of the Sessions lectures and the Workshop, except for duly justified reason.

4. Deliver full Portfolio.

5. Deliver notes of Sessions taken in the classroom.

If no comply with these requirements, the student will appear in the minutes of the opportunity as 'Not submitted'.
