General description Neste curso, despois dunha introduccion a construcción, aos procesos arquitectónicos e aos materiais e a súa relación coa Arquitectura, estudianse as características xerais dos materiais; os conglomerados e os conglomerantes cos que se fabrican, as súas características, a súa prescrición e os seus usos; aténdese aos terreos e a súa relación cos edificios; ás cimentacións dos mesmos e aos seus elementos de contención; desenvolvendo, finalmente, os muros de fábricas portantes, tanto nos seus aspectos técnicos como nas súas connotacións arquitectónicas.
O desenvolvemento do programa inclúe: encadre histórico, tipoloxías, normativa, concepción, prescrición e lesions.

Learning outcomes Study programme competences
The student will know the generic behavior of materials under certain stresses; he will know how to manufacture and use conglomerates; he will know the soils and their retaining elements; he will know about the different foundations that transfer the loads of the buildings to the ground and will master the load-bearing masonry walls with all their characteristics. You will also learn how to design a single-family house, without designing it.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech The different lessons of the program are developed, during the theoretical classes.
These lessons are all presented in PowerPoint and in each one, the student is informed of the time of exposition, the objectives to be achieved, the contents, and the basic and extension bibliography, if applicable.
We are not looking for a memorized knowledge of the contents, but an intelligent knowledge of the subject. Knowledge, in which the vision of injuries related to the content allows the student to value the transcendence of the decisions taken.
Multiple-choice questions In order to encourage continuous learning and to know the results of such learning, there will be five compulsory tests which, between them, will cover the different topics and their lessons.
Workshop The realization of practices is one of the bases of teaching.
In them, the student finds an immediate identification between the theoretical knowledge of the lectures and its constructive materialization.
The realization of practice will be proposed by means of the constructive development of certain architectures.
In the development of the practical classes, examples that serve as a model for the development of the practice will be exposed.
Objective test Where the knowledge acquired from the theoretical and practical parts of the course will be demonstrated.

Description
The master classes will be attended, for clarification of concepts and doubts, through tutorials with a specific schedule and by e-mail and Moodle daily.

The practical classes will have personalized attention for the development of the work and for the clarification of concepts and doubts, through tutorials with a specific schedule and by e-mail and Moodle daily.

The presential objective test will have, before and after the test, personalized attention for clarification of concepts and doubts, through specific tutoring and by e-mail and Moodle.

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Multiple-choice questions *There will be 5 multiple-choice tests, individually evaluated out of ten (10.0), in order to assess the knowledge of the theoretical program of the subject.
2 attempts are allowed in each test, with penalties (first attempt: penalty 0 points - pass 5.0; second attempt: penalty 1.5 points - pass 6.5).
*It is required to pass all the multiple-choice tests independently (obtain a 5.0 out of 10.0 in each of them, if there are no penalties for repetition).
42
Workshop *The practical exercise is graded out of ten (10) and a minimum grade of five (5.0) is required in both opportunities in order to pass it. Each practice grade will be agreed upon by all the practice teachers.
* In the classes, it will be necessary, on the part of the students, the public exhibition of their practices.
50
Objective test *It is graded out of ten (10.0) and a minimum grade of four (4.0) is required in both opportunities in order to pass it. Each grade will be agreed upon by all theory professors. 8
 
Assessment comments

The CONTINUOUS EVALUATION method is used in this course.

Itwill not be possible to pass the course without attending at least 80% of thetheoretical classes (lectures) and practical classes (workshop). Proof ofnon-attendance, if any, will be presented once drafted and as soon as possible,not being admitted at the end of the course. In no case it will be possible topass the course without attending a minimum of 50% of the practical classes.

Itwill not be possible to pass the course with a grade lower than five (5.0) ineach of the multiple-choice tests; with a grade lower than four (4.0) in theobjective test; and with a grade lower than five (5.0) in the practical course.

Takinginto account the above, the final grade will be obtained by averaging the gradeof the practical test and the average grade of the remaining six grades.

The passes of the first opportunity will bekept until the second opportunity.

NO GRADES,NEITHER OF THEORY NOR OF PRACTICE, FROM PREVIOUS COURSES WILL BE KEPT.
