Thies programme ains to give a specialization of professional nature, allowing a sequence of studies to the holders of the degree in civil engineering, and similar areas, enabling the improvement of the knowledge acquired that ends in developments/original applications originated by the completion of a project/training.
The graduate students of the study cycle should be able to:
Apply the knowledge and the capabilities to understand and to solve problems in new and non-familiar situations, in a broad and multidisciplinary context;
Combine knowledge, to deal with complex problems, to developed solutions and to make judgments in situations of limited or incomplete information;
To communicate the conclusions, the knowledge and foundations related, to specialists and non-specialists, in a direct and non-ambiguous way;
To develop a life-learning process in an autonomous mode.
BIM (Building Information Modeling) – Introduction, standardization, interoperability, functionalities, applications in modular construction.
Modular Construction – Concept, history, types, advantages.
Light Steel Frame (LSF) System Description, materials used, production, manufacturing, execution stages, the prescriptive method.
Modular wooden construction systems Wood, derivatives and their properties, components (structure, connections, supports, insulation, frames, installations, finishes), design, production, existing construction systems
Precast Concrete Systems Concepts (terminology, planning, design, production, transport, and assembly); Technologies (construction technologies, connections, and assembling); Solutions (sustainable solutions, concepts, and execution techniques).
Basic concepts on Continuum mechanics: Stress, strain and constitutive law.
The Finite Element Method (FEM): concepts and definitions; general formulation of the method; error and convergence analysis;
Implementation of FEM in elementary problems of computational mechanics: post-processing of results: computation of deformations,stresses and internal forces; comparison with results given by commercial softwares;
Modelling of Structures: use of FEM to compare modeling solutions in real problems;
Elementary concepts of nonlinear analysis of structures: basic modeling problems aiming the generation of the capacity curves required in seismic pushover analysis.
