General description Preténdese que o alumno ao concluír a materia estea capacitado para poder diagnosticar con solvencia os problemas que pode ocasionar o terreo sobre a obra de rehabilitación e propoñer solucións seguras, viables e adecuadas aos aspectos arquitectónicos dentro do proxecto de rehabilitación. Para iso é necesario que adquira os coñecementos precisos referentes ao recoñecemento de solos, o diagnóstico de patología ligada ao terreo e as técnicas básicas e avanzadas de recalce, o que se expoñerá nas clases de teoría. Ao tempo o alumno debe saber plasmar estes coñecementos nas técnicas concretas, para o que se propoñen unha serie de clases prácticas e a realización dun traballo concreto. Este traballo deberá estar relacionado coa actividade profesional do arquitecto, dentro do contido específico desta asignatura.

Learning aims
Learning outcomes Study programme competences
At the end of the course, the student is expected to be able to diagnose with solvency the problems that the terrain may cause on the rehabilitation work and propose safe, viable and adequate solutions to the architectural aspects within the rehabilitation project. For this, it is necessary that you acquire the necessary knowledge regarding soil recognition, the diagnosis of pathology linked to the terrain and the basic and advanced techniques of stress, which will be exposed in the theory classes. At the same time, the student must know how to translate this knowledge into specific techniques, for which a series of practical classes and the completion of a specific job are proposed. This work must be related to the professional activity of the architect, within the specific content of this subject. AJ1

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech The development of the subject is structured around theory sessions, although with an important component of practices carried out by the student / teacher, in addition to the corresponding tutorials and assignments. The teaching will also include the analysis of practical cases already carried out, which allow complementing the knowledge acquired throughout the course.
Problem solving The course is complemented by the development by the student of a reinforcement project, which allows to specify the possibilities of action and which involves the acquisition of the corresponding skills. This practice, which will be continuously monitored throughout the course, will be the basis for the grade of the subject.
Parts of this work will be carried out on a weekly basis, usually with weekly deliveries, which will become part of the overall practice of the course.
Supervised projects Carrying out a reinforcement project that summarizes the practices developed throughout the course

Assessment comments

Criteria to be applied to students with an attendance greater than 80%

Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance:

In the case of these students, they must carry out the partial practices that will count 30% and also the global practice that will count 70%. The work will be monitored in order to see its evolution and the confirmation of its authorship by the student.

Weekly practices cannot be delivered after the deadline. The global practice can be provided before the 2nd opportunity if it is intended to attend said call, provided that there has been a follow-up of it throughout the course. This is applicable to the advance call.

Failure to deliver the global practice implies a qualification of no-show.

Regardless of what is legally indicated on possible teacher-type fraud, any of the following situations will be considered as serious disciplinary offenses and, consequently, the automatic qualification of SUSPENSION (0):
-Impersonation of a partner in attendance checks or activities -this fault extends to both the impersonating student and the impersonating student.
-Fraudulent performance of practices and controls by a person other than the signing student.
-Copy of practices.
-Copy of exams.
-Equivalent situations
-Plagiarism
