Advanced Building Design II

Recommended Prerequisites

The pre-requirements of this course are those corresponding to the application for the PhD course CMM.

Teaching Methods

Classes run under theoretical and practical. In the classes are presented the theoretical concepts and the code formulations for the design. Simultaneously, some illustrative examples are solved. Students participate actively in the process of formation, being asked to present solutions to the proposed problems. Occasionally students are invited to attend lectures by visiting specialists. Tutorial lessons (37.5 hours) will be to answer questions.

Learning Outcomes

Address the key issues involved in the conception of composite buildings (steel and concrete). And steel and composite joints Transmit the knowledge necessary for the analysis and design of composite structures, and steel and composite joints, according to European regulations for structural design, including Eurocode 3 and Eurocode 4. Deepen the knowledge of the stability of structures and their elements; in particular when applied to steel and composite frame structures.

The aim is the development of instrumental skills (oral and written communication and problem solving), personal (critical thinking) and systemic (apply in practice the theoretical knowledge and development of self-criticism and self-assessment), essential for the conception, analysis and design of portal frames or multi-store buildings.
