Pedro Casariego Vales

Teaching languages

  • Spanish

Skills

Specific skills

  • Calculate and design industrial structures and constructions

Transversal competences

  • T2_That students have the ability to work as members of an interdisciplinary team either as one more member, or performing management tasks, in order to contribute to developing projects with pragmatism and a sense of responsibility, making commitments taking into account available resources

     

Description

- Provide an introduction to the usual methods used for the design, calculation and sizing of industrial structures designed with different building materials.
- Analysis of structures at a theoretical and practical level by means of software of calculation of structures and of manual way.

 

Contents

  1. Structure theory.
  2. Methods for calculating structures.
  3. Steel and reinforced concrete structures.
  4. Construction and industrial architecture.
  5. General study of industrial structures and facilities.

 

Evaluation system

- Theoretical part: The formative activities of acquisition of knowledge and of individual study of the student will be evaluated by means of written proofs. (70%).

- Practical part: The formative activities related with the practices of laboratory will evaluate according to the following parameters: assistance to the sessions of practices, personal attitude, individual work developed in the laboratory, realization of individual reports or in team on the activities realized. (30%)

- Like other individual work activities, there will be a check per course through a written test with a value between +10% and -10%.

The teacher reserves the right to evaluate or not evaluate the laboratory practices and/or the final work depending on the evolution and the acquisition of knowledge by the students during the course. In case of not evaluating the practices, the written tests (control + exam) will have a value of 100% on the final grade. 

The practical classes will be developed as follows:

Block 1: The students will carry out the practices during the class and at the end they will be solved by the teacher. Attendance is mandatory. These practices are not evaluated. The objective is for the student to properly acquire the tools he will need to solve the second block. The loss of 2 practices implies a suspension of the subject with a maximum grade of 4.

b) Block 2: The students will do the final work of the subject during the practical classes under the supervision of the teaching staff. Each class will have an objective to solve related to the final work to be done. The work will be handed in on the day of the written exam. The work has a weight of 30% on the final mark.

The evaluation will be continuous and will contemplate the proposals and mechanisms of recovery of the knowledge and competitions. All this within the period that comprises the matter.

The qualification will be carried out in accordance with current regulations:

Evaluation method. Weighting.
Exams 70%
Practical work 30%
Practices, control, individual or team work. +10% and -10%
