Semester S1
ECTS Credits 6
Workload OT(15H)
Scientific area Engenharia Civil
Entry requirements N.A.
Learning outcomes The UC aims to complement the study of the structural behaviour of buildings. Students should acquire:
O1 - domain analysis of buildings
O2 - domain under the simplified analysis of structural systems
O3 - understanding of numerical analysis of structural systems
O4 - understanding of non-linear calculus
O5 - understanding of the application of experimental techniques
O6 - recognize the dynamic behaviour of structures
O7 - recognizing the differences in design depending on the structural material
Syllabus C1 - Introduction to the structural behaviour of buildings.
C2 - Structural analysis models
C3 - The influence of the structural material
C4 - Experimental techniques in the analysis of structures C5 - Non-linear analysis of structures
C6 - International standardization
