2. Pre-Requisites
Construction materials
Strenght of materials
Analysis of structures
Technology of structures
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The course aims to provide the future Engineer with the minimum knowledge to face the project and construction of steel and concrete structures. To this end, previous knowledge in technology of steel and concrete structures is expanded and developed with a practical approach. The student must acquire skills that allow him/her to choose between the different materials available; understand the behavior of the different structural typologies; identify its resistant mechanisms against external actions and imposed deformations; use specific analysis methods and understand the structural response to address the project of a structure.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Assessment of active participation | 5.00% | 0.00% | Individual participation in class and workshops. Unrecoverable |
| Final test | 70.00% | 100.00% | Written exam unless conditions do not allow it, in which case it would be carried out virtually. Mandatory and recoverable. Minimum grade 4.0. |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 15.00% | 0.00% | Report. Minimum grade 4.0. Unrecoverable |
| Progress Tests | 10.00% | 0.00% | Written exam unless conditions do not allow it, in which case it would be carried out virtually. Mandatory and recoverable. Minimal grade 4.0. |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:The final grade of each student in this subject will be obtained from:
- Grade (Nrm) obtained in the exam of basic concepts of strength of materials (from 0 to 10). This grade will be obtained by the progress test and students can be evaluated again of it in the final test.
- Grade (NE) obtained in the examination of concrete and steel structures (from 0 to 10)
- Average grade of the building and bridge workshops (NT) obtained by each student (from 0 to 10). The details on content, extension and requirements of the workshops to be delivered will be indicated on the virtual campus at the beginning of the semester.
- Increased in grade based on each student's performance during the subject (dNe) (up to 0.5).
The course grade (Nc) will be calculated according to the following equation:
Nc = 0.7 NE + 0.1 Nrm + 0.15 NT + dNe
In order to pass the course, it is compulsory that the grades NT, NE, and Nrm are greater than 4.0 and Nc greater than 5.0.
Written activities will be replaced by virtual ones if necessary.
Only the grade from the workshops would be saved from one course to another. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Unless stated otherwise, continuous evaluation criteria will be applied to all students.
Anyone choosing non-continuous assessment must notify it to the lecturer within the class period of the subject. The option is only available if the student's participation in evaluation activities (from the continuous assessment) has not reached 50% of the total evaluation for the subject.
For the retake exam, the assessment type used for the final exam will remain valid.
The final grade of each student in this subject will be obtained from:
- Grade (Nrm) obtained in the exam of basic concepts of strenght of materials (from 0 to 10) (minimum grade 4.0)
- Grade (NE) obtained in the examination of concrete and steel structures (from 0 to 10) (minimum grade 4.0)
The course grade (Nc) will be calculated according to the following equation:
Nc = 0.9 NE + 0.1 Nrm
Written activities will be replaced by virtual ones if necessary.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The final grade of each student in this subject will be obtained from:
- Grade (Nrm) obtained in the exam of basic concepts of strenght of materials (from 0 to 10)
- Grade (NE) obtained in the examination of concrete and steel structures (from 0 to 10)
- Average grade of the building and bridge workshops (NT) obtained by each student (from 0 to 10). The details on content, extension and requirements of the workshops to be delivered will be indicated on the virtual campus at the beginning of the semester.
- Increased in grade based on each student's performance during the subject (dNe) (up to 0.5).
The course grade (Nc) will be calculated according to the following equation:
Nc = 0.7 NE + 0.1 Nrm + 0.15 NT + dNe
In order to pass the course, it is compulsory that the grades NT, NE, and Nrm are greater than 4.0 and Nc greater than 5.0.
Written activities will be replaced by virtual ones if necessary.
Only the grade from the workshops would be saved from one course to another.
- Grade (Nrm) obtained in the exam of basic concepts of strenght of materials (from 0 to 10)
- Grade (NE) obtained in the examination of concrete and steel structures (from 0 to 10)
- Average grade of the building and bridge workshops (NT) obtained by each student (from 0 to 10). The details on content, extension and requirements of the workshops to be delivered will be indicated on the virtual campus at the beginning of the semester.
- Increased in grade based on each student's performance during the subject (dNe) (up to 0.5).
The course grade (Nc) will be calculated according to the following equation:
Nc = 0.7 NE + 0.1 Nrm + 0.15 NT + dNe
In order to pass the course, it is compulsory that the grades NT, NE, and Nrm are greater than 4.0 and Nc greater than 5.0.
Written activities will be replaced by virtual ones if necessary.
Only the grade from the workshops would be saved from one course to another.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The same criteria of the non-continuous evaluation is applied.
