3rd year of Degree in Foundations of Architecture
6 ECTS – Compulsory course
Description
The fundamental aspects of the subject outlined in the Study Plan are as follows: equilibrium equations, compatibility equations, and constitutive equations. Structural types. Analysis methods. Introduction to the sizing and safety of structures.
In accordance with these descriptors, the following general objectives are established:
- Knowledge of the analysis methods applicable to the most common structural types in construction, with an explanation of the equilibrium equations, compatibility equations, and constitutive equations.
- Knowledge of the application conditions of the various methods to ensure the safety of structures and their connection to the basic concepts and criteria for sizing sections and components.
