Análise e Dimensionamento Avançados de Soluções à Base de Madeira

Recommended Prerequisites

Basics of Timber Structures.

Teaching Methods

The teaching methodologies are based on theoretical-practical lessons with the exposure of theoretical concepts, immediately followed by their exemplification. At the end of the semester, an application work with laboratory shed is proposed to allow contact with the material and its specificities The evaluation is carried out through practical works undertaken throughout the semester together with a final exam.
