  Description
Introductory activities Summary and bibliografy presentation
Lecture Theoretical topics will be explained by sepecific master sessions
Problem solving, exercises in the classroom Problems and practical exercises of each subject will be proposed and solved
Assignments The students will do three group assingnments:
The first one will consist of research and typological analysis of historic buildings with reinforced concrete structure. The conclusions will be explained in classroom.
The second will consist in the calculation and sizing of a reinforced concrete portico.
The third one will consist in the development of a spreadsheet for the resolution of reinforced design problems in sections with simple and complex uniaxial bending. The results will be explained in classroom.
Personal attention Resolució de consultes sobre la temàtica teórica o sobre la seva aplicació pràctica

Personalized attention
Description
At the end of each master session, students will be able to answer questions about the topic explained. Questions will be answered through the email rodrigo.martin@urv.cat
