Titular Professors
Knowledge of the resistance of materials and determination of their strengths.
Knowledge of basic computer programmes.
Students who complete our course on Architectural Structures acquire the knowledge and develop the skills listed below:
1. To learn about measuring structural elements made of steel and reinforced concrete in the construction business.
2. To identify, formulate and solve different types of problems in a multi-disciplinary environment, on an individual basis or in groups.
3. To use the techniques and latest tools in order to measure the strength of structural models.
4. To have a sound knowledge of the different structural regulations related to metallic structures, concrete structures and structures of other materials currently used in Spain and in the European Economic Community, paying particular attention to the different Euro codes.
