General description O enfoque da materia oriéntase á aplicación práctica dos métodos numéricos en estudos de estabilidade e de comportamento estrutural vinculados a edificacións con valor histórico e obras de rehabilitación en xeral. Desenvólvense así competencias instrumentais útiles en labores periciais ou no momento de valorar comparativamente a incidencia de diferentes alternativas de intervención.
Contingency plan Formúlase un único plan de continxencia, previsto para posibles situacións en que o contexto sanitario, a limitación de capacidade dos espazos académicos ou outras causas deriven nunha transición ben a unha docencia híbrida ben a un escenario de total non presencialidade.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech An exhibition methodology complemented by audiovisual means is applied in order to significantly illustrate the contents treated and to facilitate their understanding.
However, and independently of the above, during these sessions the aim is to achieve a certain quota of participation by the students, enhancing their involvement, promoting feedback on the process (and therefore the two-way nature of communication), and energizing the learning mechanisms through interaction techniques.
Workshop The exercise is proposed through guided practices developed with computer means.
It contemplates the acquisition of an operational methodology based on practical assumptions with an increasing level of complexity.
Problem solving Practical tests are proposed, in which specific problematic situations have to be faced, designed from the previously worked content.
Supervised projects The teaching methodology is basically oriented according to the criterion of learning in action, in order to enhance the acquisition of specific skills. In this context, the elaboration of a comprehensive work takes center stage, where the professional skills of the subject come together, therefore linked to the use of numerical analysis applications, with others of a transversal nature, such as, among others, the search for documentation (often making use of new technologies), the organization and planning of activities, the management of information, or oral and written expression. Schematically, the following steps are distinguished: topic selection, preparation of a generic work script, on-site examination, photographic report, planimetric survey, location and consultation of reference sources, construction and adjustment of models, interpretation of results, and writing a final report that covers the entire work. Given the supervised nature of the same, regular follow-up sessions must be held with the teaching staff, in order to optimize or, where appropriate, redirect the activities in progress.

Personalized attention

Supervised projects
Description
Given the specificity of the contents linked to the subject, and the different level of computer training with which students can access it, it is understood to be crucial to articulate personalized attention mechanisms that attend to possible singularities. To this end, the development of face-to-face tutorials and consultations through the resources of the virtual platform is used.

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Supervised projects A5 A8 B1 B2 B4 C1 C4 C5 C6 C12 C13 Its development is fully understood individually and of a non-presential nature. In order to guarantee the authorship of the work, and the adequate acquisition of competences, in its evaluation the successive control sessions are considered relevant, and therefore the degree of compliance in relation to the indications formulated in each case by the teaching staff. Other aspects to assess are: the depth and rigor of development; the search for information sources; the relationships built between the different sections; analysis and synthesis capabilities; the correction of the methodological study, the constructive and structural diagnosis, the modeling and the appropriate conclusions; argumentation; and the grammatical, graphic and technical quality of the final documentation. 100
 
Assessment comments

As in the other subjects that make up this postgraduate degree, attendance is also required not less than 80% relative to all the scheduled face-to-face sessions.
This requirement will have no effect with students who have recognized part-time dedication according to the Norm that regulates the regime of dedication to study and the permanence and progression of undergraduate and master's students at the UDC.
