Teaching Methodologies
The teaching will have a theoretical and practical character involving Internet research and the construction of constructive schema models. The calculation of the structures will be developed to the computer using appropriate software. Realization of a natural engineering project to be executed at ESAC campus.
Learning Results
Acquire the scientific basis related to living building materials (seed piling plants) and their biotechnical characteristics and dead materials (wooden posts, geo-textiles, geo-grids) and their uses in natural engineering projects on slopes and in rivers. Plan natural engineering projects on slopes and rivers. Run and monitor natural engineering projects on slopes and rivers. Monitor natural engineering projects
