It is based on the calculation of structural systems performed by different construction materials: floors and foundations, concrete, steel, wood, ceramics and masonry, and mixed structures. This part consists of the skills, competencies and resources needed for professionals in the construction sector to carry out with efficiency and rigor their specialty whatever it is.
CONCRETE STRUCTURES
Soil mechanics and foundations
The aim is to make known the necessary bases to understand and prevent the behavior of the ground, as a supporting element of the buildings.
The practical application will be promoted from the interpretation of some geotechnical studies; with the deduction of the data of geotechnical interest necessary for the decision of a type or another of foundation, thus will achieve to choose the most ideal system of foundation for each case.
Concrete structures
The aim of this subject is to perform the analysis, verification and sizing of the different concrete elements that make up the structure, to be able to write later the documents that allow to build the corresponding structure, as well as the realization of plans with the details. respective constructions, taking into account the current regulations.
STEEL AND MIXED STRUCTURES
The aim of this subject is to perform the analysis, verification and sizing of the different elements of steel and mixed (steel and concrete) that make up the structure, to be able to write later the documents that allow to build the corresponding structure , as well as the realization of plans with the respective constructive details, taking into account the valid rule.
OTHER STRUCTURES: WOOD, CERAMICS AND MASONRY
Wooden structures
The aim of this subject is to perform the analysis, verification and sizing of the different wooden elements that make up the structure, to be able to write later the documents that allow to build the corresponding structure, as well as the realization of plans with the details. respective constructions, taking into account the current regulations.
Ceramic and masonry structures
The aim of this subject is to perform the analysis, verification and sizing of the different elements of both brick and masonry that make up the structure, to be able to write later the documents that allow to build the corresponding structure, as well as the making plans with the respective construction details, taking into account current regulations. The study of current materials such as reinforced ceramics will be appreciated.

Assessment activities 26 70
Through master classes, along with many practical examples, the student will delve into structural theories as well as the reality of the work. So all the modules are made up first of a theoretical part, and later of a set of examples, so that the student can also investigate the practical part of the topics. It will also provide a large group of examples that will not only refer to constructions in our country, but will also explain new methodologies and international systems.
The classes will be face-to-face and the student will be encouraged to actively participate. At the end of each subject, there will be a round table with specialists with a great command of the subject, where the possible doubts that may arise can be debated in unison, as well as intensely scrutinized in the subject.
At the end of each module there will be practical workshops so that the student can present the knowledge acquired.
EVALUATION SYSTEM
Group or individual work 40.0
Public presentation of works 20.0
Class participation 20.0
exams 20.0
The main load of study is work to be developed by the student, and then its public presentation, to increase the safety of the student and provide him with exhibition tools, necessary for the daily work of the student. 'structural specialist.
Likewise, the participation in class will be evaluable, since the interest of the student is one of the most important points to improve the dynamics of group.
Finally, a conceptual examination of the theories acquired during the master classes will be carried out.
