Building Construction VI
Other languages of instruction: Catalan, English
Teaching staff
During the course, the teacher will deal with students’ questions or concerns at the time and day established at the beginning of the course, but always subject to prior appointment. Questions and concerns can also be sent to the teacher’s email address at the University.
Introduction
Individual work: This is aimed at the specific competence of the knowledge and development of the subject, and will try to create a first base of notes on the conventional construction systems and their pathology. Individual research consists in the carrying out of a work that develops the fundamental aspects related to the development of the subjects of the subject. Its objective is to work autonomously with responsibility and initiative, it is developed in two phases.
The practical work in group: Consists of the analysis, diagnosis and intervention in a building with pathologies. This is aimed at acquiring a knowledge of the construction pathologies and the methods and constructive techniques of application to conservation, restoration and rehabilitation. Likewise they will be developed to the practical knowledge of the building and civil works, with a supervision of the foundation, structure, work and finished work. The results of the evaluation of the building will be documented in the form of a report, in case it is a professional opinion.
Pre-course requirements
It is recommended that students should have passed the various Construction courses prior to Construction 6, although the Management Board of ESARQ is responsible for defining the enrolment criteria between courses.
Objectives
The objectives of the degree that particularly affect this subject are:
1. Aptitude to create architectural projects that satisfy the aesthetic demands and the techniques as well.
2. Understanding the problems of the structural, construction and engineering concept linked to the buildings projects; and adequate knowledge of the calculation of structures in their various materials.
3. Adequate knowledge of the physical problems and the different technologies, as well as the function of the buildings, so that these are provided with internal conditions of comfort and protection of climatic factors.
Competences/Learning outcomes of the degree programme
- 12-T - Ability to conceive, calculate, design, integrate in buildings and urban complexes and execute building structures
- 15-T - Ability to conceive, calculate, design, integrate in buildings and urban complexes and execute foundation solutions
- 17 - Ability to apply building and technical standards
- 19 - Ability to preserve finished works.
- 20 - Ability to evaluate works
- 24 - To acquire adequate knowledge of the mechanics of solids, continuous medium and soil as well as the plastic, elasticity and resistance properties of materials for structural works
Learning outcomes of the subject
- Applied knowledge of technical and constructive norms
- Knowledge of the construction pathologies and the methods and constructive techniques of application to the conservation, restoration and rehabilitation, in the construction and civil works, foundations, structures, thick work and finished work.
- Knowledge of the construction pathologies and the methods and constructive techniques of application to the conservation, restoration and rehabilitation, in the construction and civil works, foundations, structures, thick work and finished work.

Teaching and learning activities
In person
Introductory Activities: Activities aimed at taking contact and collecting information from the students and presenting the subject.
Master Session: Exhibition of the contents of the subject.
Works: Work done by the student.
Architecture Workshop: classroom monitoring is carried out in face-to-face sessions of practical projects and require a complementary dedication of the students to the development of projects without guardianship. It has a progressive character and allows the accumulative acquisition of competence.
Presentations and exhibitions: Oral presentation by students of a specific subject or work, after written presentation.
Personalized attention: In addition to the class schedule, the student may contact the staff to receive personalized attention on time.

Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
The evaluation system that we will use during the course will use the evaluation criteria continued throughout the semester. The system is based and will consist of evaluating the individual course work that corresponds to 30% of the qualification, collective practice tests that equal to 40% of the final grade and the objective tests with short questions, that equivalent to 30%, will be divided into two partials.
