Learning outcomes	The UC aims to complement the study of the structural behavior of buildings. Students should acquire O1 - domain analysis of buildings O2 - domain under 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 behavior of structures O7 - recognizing the differences in design depending on the structural material
Syllabus	C1 - Introduction to the structural behavior 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
