Learning outcomes The curricular unit of Building Construction Technology aims to enable the student to intervene in the constructive process of buildings. The following competencies will be developed in this curricular unit:
a) Recognition of the production phases of a building, from the preliminary services to the final delivery;
b) Recognition of the specific projects, management systems and quality control of production;
c) Knowledge on preliminary services in the production of buildings and the assembly of construction sites;
d) Knowledge on the processes of earthworks, peripheral containment, demolition of buildings and construction waste management;
e) Ability on production and design of timber formworks;
f) Ability on planning and control the execution phases of a building reinforced concrete structure;
g) Ability on planning and control the production of masonry and its coatings;
h) Ability on planning and control the production of typical roofs of buildings.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria This curricular unit has a duration of one semester, involving 60 h of contact in classes, 98 h of autonomous work and 10 h of evaluation. The approval in this curricular unit grants the student 6 ECTS. Contact hours include 30 h of theoretical classes (T) and 30 h of practical classes (PL). The evaluation is carried out in two phases, continuous evaluation and exam, allowing the student to dispense the exam if he approves in the continuous evaluation. The minimum requirements (attendance and classification) to be admitted to the exam, as well as the continuous and exam evaluation criteria, are established annually by the coordinator of the curricular unit observing the following: the continuous evaluation include test(s) (50 to 70% ), practical works (30 to 50%) and attendance and participation (0 to 10%); the evaluation by exam include a test (60 to 100%) and practical works (0 to 40%). In the exam is not allowed the improvement of the practical work done in continuous evaluation.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
