General description Tras cursar a asignatura, o alumno estará capacitado para poder identificar, peritar e afrontar de forma eficaz os problemas usuais que poden presentar as estruturas de fábrica dentro do contexto da obra de rehabilitación. Para poder desenvolver estas capacidades facilitaranse os coñecementos necesarios referentes á inspección e recoñecemento de estruturas de fábrica, a identificación das lesións que se producen, a súa valoración e tratamento, o diagnóstico de patología ligada á estrutura de fábrica e as técnicas básicas de intervención sobre os elementos estructurales de fábrica, complementando este saber coa bibliografía e normativa existente. Estes contidos serán expostos nas clases de teoría. Para garantir que o alumno sexa capaz de aplicar adecuadamente estes coñecementos, propóñense unha serie de clases prácticas que versasen sobre a exposición e debate dunha serie de casos prácticos complementadas coa realización dun traballo específico sobre a materia. Este traballo que estará relacionado coa actividade profesional do arquitecto dentro do contido específico desta asignatura.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Diagramming At the beginning of each class, a diagramming of the content to be developed, its need and its fit into the degree is made. In this way, the logic of the topic is evidenced and the contents can be related within the knowledge map of the subject
Case study Students are confronted with a specific real case, with an important structural content, which describes a real situation in professional life.
The student must be able to analyse a series of facts, referring to the intervention on masonry structures to reach a reasoned decision through a process of discussion in class directed by the teacher, propose a performance and confront it with the one carried out in the reality.
Workbook Readings. Acquisition of a general conceptual framework by reading texts, questions regarding the intervention on structures, as well as deepening on the various topics of the program and others that may be specifically interesting, due to the particular conditions of the work to be carried out.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Master session
Set of classes and conferences in which the expository work of the rapporteur (teacher and / or lecturer) is essential, work that is carried out with the support of the T.I.C. They consist of the development of the various topics on the agenda. In an on-line format, this methodology is carried out through synchronous sessions, using the university's videoconferencing platform and the study of the documentation hosted on Moodle.

The student must get used to handling the recommended bibliography of the subject, which can be found in the ETSA library, counting as support with the class outline available in the virtual faculty.
The continuous monitoring of the theoretical classes is a requirement of the subject that is considered fulfilled with the attendance to 80% of the classes at least
Problem solving The teacher will solve exercises oriented towards future professional practice, encouraging student participation in their partial or total resolution.
The result will be presented in a way that is clearly visible, indicating the numerical value with the corresponding precision and units.
The most common mistakes that are usually made will be explained, evaluating them according to their severity, both conceptual and numerical.
Supervised projects Tutored work
Students - either in groups or individually depending on the specific topic - carry out work that involves the use of the techniques developed in the theoretical classes, identifying in the practical reality the contents of the theoretical exposition. Photographs, diagrams, plans and freehand texts will be used.
They are a fundamental component for the final grade.
Events academic / information Activities carried out by students that involve attendance and participation in scientific and informative events (congresses, conferences, symposia, courses, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, etc.) with the aim of deepening their knowledge of topics related to matter.
These activities provide the student with current knowledge and experiences that incorporate the latest developments in the field of study.

Description
Study of cases
In the distance modality, the discussion of the practical cases will be carried out through the delivery of an analysis document on each of the analyzed examples.

Supervised projects (Tutored work)
The student will demonstrate the effective follow-up of the subject by attending tutorials in which the development of the proposed work will be controlled, in which the presented contents and in the basic and / or complementary bibliography will be applied
This work will be complemented by carrying out the proposed exercises.
Attendance and activity carried out will be controlled

Assessment comments
The course is structured in a theoretical part and a practical one, this part with a more personalized treatment. In the theoretical classes, the expository work of the teacher is preponderant, although in this modality in an asynchronous way. This work is completed with the exposition of practical cases related to the exposed theoretical subjects.

For the effective use of the subject, continuous monitoring of it is essential, considering that this is fulfilled by overcoming the controls of the proposed theoretical content and the delivery of the analysis papers on the practical cases developed.

The evaluation of the students will be carried out through the assessment of a practical work developed by them once the previous monitoring criterion has been passed. If this practical work is not presented, the grade assigned will be Not Presented.

These same criteria will apply to the second opportunity and advanced call. Carrying out supervised work is mandatory in any case.

Plagiarism. In accordance with article 11, section 4 b), of the Disciplinary Regulations for UDC students, the detection of plagiarism, as well as the fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the grade of failing "0" in the subject in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all evaluation activities.
