Postgraduate degree in Structural Concrete

General Objectives of the Course

Updating the knowledge and skills of professionals with a bachelor's degree or a master’s degree in civil engineering, within the scope of structural concrete and reinforced concrete construction.
More specifically, the update is in three areas not covered by conventional courses in civil engineering: (1) rehabilitation of structures; (2) new regulations, notably in the framework of the Portuguese Decreto-Lei 95/2019 and the new generation of Eurocodes; (3) digitalisation in construction. The course covers the conception, design, management, preparation, construction, supervision, inspection and evaluation, maintenance and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures.
