Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical-practical classes with presentation, discussion and problem solving.
During the presentation, students are asked to actively participate in the class. In class, students are also encouraged to interpret practical
problems technically and scientifically. The clarification of doubts in the interpretation of the topics, discussion of the execution processes
and of the solution of problems will be an important complement to the learning process.
Learning Results
Learn the knowledge and technology of prefabricated and modular systems for steel and composite structures, concrete structures and
timber structures.
Generic competences:
Apply knowledge; increase understanding of prefabricated interventions in urban space; make judgements/decisions; increase the ability to
communicate and discuss technological issues; develop critical sense and self-learning.
Specific competences:
Acquire new knowledge and the ability to understand, evaluate and select the main prefabricated systems, particularly in steel and mixed
structures, concrete structures and timber structures; learning the basic principles, concepts and processes for the preparation and
execution of these systems; providing students with the ability to judge and monitor the execution of solutions in prefabricated structures in
the urban space to be built or rehabilitated.
Program
1. Prefabrication
Modelling, planning, preparation and assembly of prefabricated structures. Design and execution systems in prefabrication. Prefabrication in
rehabilitation technology and structural reinforcement. The importance of prefabricated systems in the sustainability of structures.
2. Steel and mixed structures
Main concepts and standard criteria; structural elements and connections: welded, bolted, beam-column, column bases. Preparation,
production, transport and execution technology.
3. Precast concrete structures
Main concepts, standard criteria and prefabricated elements. Special concretes in prefabrication. Structural strategies and types of
connection between elements. Preparation, production, transport and execution technology.
4. Timber structures
Main concepts, materials and properties. Structural elements and types of connection: main concepts and standard criteria. Preparation,
production, transport and execution technology.
