Structural Analysis Seminars (250706) – Course 2024/25 PDF
Syllabus
Learning Objectives
Subject to acquire knowledge on trends in research related to structural analysis Capability to acquire the latest knowledge on research issues related to structural analysis Recent advances in research topics related to structural analysis This course aims to give an overview about the possibilities offered by numerical simulation in the structural analysis. The student will be able to exercise in different aspects of the structural calculation. All the necessary knowledge will be reviewed and appropriate calculation tools (software, interfaces, etc.) will be provided.
Competencies
Generic
To conceive, design, analyze and manage structures or structural elements of civil engineering or building, encouraging innovation and the advance of knowledge.
To develop, improve and use conventional materials and new construction techniques to ensure the safety requirements, functionality, durability and sustainability.

Teaching Methodology
The course consists of 0,8 hours per week of classroom activity (large size group). The 0,8 hours in the large size groups are devoted to theoretical lectures, in which the teacher presents the basic concepts and topics of the subject, shows examples and solves exercises. Support material in the form of a detailed teaching plan is provided using the virtual campus ATENEA: content, program of learning and assessment activities conducted and literature. Although most of the sessions will be given in the language indicated, sessions supported by other occasional guest experts may be held in other languages.
Grading Rules
The evaluation calendar and grading rules will be approved before the start of the course.
Continuous assessment consists of different activities, both individual and group formative in nature, made during the course (in the classroom and outside it). Assessment tests consist of a set of application exercises according to the themes developed in the course. The rating is calculated as an average of the work done throughout the course.
Test Rules
Failure to perform a laboratory or continuous assessment activity in the scheduled period will result in a mark of zero in that activity.
Office Hours
In class and during the two hours after class.
