Course content (verified by ANECA in official undergraduate and Master’s degrees)

Specific Competences (Civil Branch)

  • CE-3 : Capacity to apply knowledge of building materials in structural systems. Understand the relationship between the structure of the materials and the mechanical properties derived from the same.
  • CE-4 : Capacity to analyse and understand how the characteristics of structures affect their behaviour. Capacity to apply knowledge of the resistant working of structures to size them.
  • CE-5 : Understand geotechnics and soil and rock mechanics and their application to carrying out studies, projects, constructions and exploitations where it is necessary to carry out earth movements, foundations and containment structures.
  • CE-6 : Understand the behaviour of reinforced concrete, pre-stressed concrete and metal structures, and capacity to conceive, design, build and maintain these kinds of structures.

 

Specific Competences (Specific Technology):>>Civil Construction

  • CEC-1 : Understand the typology and bases for the calculation of pre-fabricated elements and their application to fabrication processes.
  • CEC-4 : Capacity to build and preserve roads, as well as the sizing, planning and building of the elements that make up highway equipment. Capacity to plan, build and preserve road transport infrastructures.
  • CEC-5 : Capacity to build and preserve railway lines, understanding how to apply the specific technical regulations, differentiating the characteristics of mobile material. Capacity to plan, build and preserve rail transport infrastructures.

Specific objectives stated by the academic staff for academic year 2017-18

En primer lugar se trata de aproximar a los alumnos al mundo de la ingeniería de puentes, desde los más primitivos hasta los más modernos, repasando los materiales empleados, las tipologías estructurales y los procedimientos de construcción. Y en segundo lugar se trata de proporcionarles conocimientos suficientes para abordar correctamente la concepción de un puente en los aspectos formales, resistentes, funcionales y constructivos, así como unos conceptos básicos para afrontar su modelización estructural y las acciones asociadas, con el objeto de que aprendan a resolverlo técnicamente dentro de unos límites aceptables de complejidad.
