After completing the course on foundations, the student will be able to effectively identify, confront and assess the usual problems that the usual foundation and containment structures may present within the context of the new architectural work.
In order to develop these capacities, the necessary knowledge regarding the mechanics of the soil and the basic techniques of projecting and calculating the foundation and containment elements will be provided, complementing this knowledge with the existing bibliography and regulations. These contents will be exposed in the theory classes.
To guarantee that the student is able to apply this knowledge adequately, a series of practical classes are proposed that will deal with the project, design and calculation of foundation elements, complemented by carrying out specific work on the subject. These works will be related to the professional activity of the architect within the specific content of this subject.
