General description and relevant information <p> The subject of Cosntruction IV is aimed to provide the student basic knowledge about the most common structural systems in construction and the tools to apply them to a project. Also providing a general knowledge of other less usedstructural systems. The program is divided into two parts: the structure,the foundations systems and containment. This knowledge is given from several ways: the characteristics of the system, theirbehaviour, the pre-dimensioning and design of elements and joints. </p><p>The course is scheduled to be taught in person and this presence will be maintained if the regulations that may be issued by the health authorities and other competent bodies do not say otherwise, and the capacity requirements allow it. If there are changes they will be reported to the Moodle space of the subject.</p>

  Description
Introductory activities 1. Introduction to the course. Description of the forms of work and evaluation. Presentation of the program of topics.

2. Verification of the knowledge of students in relation to topics related to the subject (test and short questions).

3. Development of an exercise where they apply basic concepts.
Lecture Session where the teacher will present the syllabus of the subject, as well as the sources of information related to the content to be developed.
Collaborative work
In it collaborative work will apply all the knowledge developed in the classroom. This time the student will develop the work in collaboration with a working group
Field work
Classes will be completed in the follow-up of actual works
Personal attention Attention to the students in non-teaching hours to solve any doubt in relation to the subject.

Personalized attention
Description
The personalized attention has the aim to have a direct contact with every student to solve the doubts or problems that it has of any aspect of the subject (content, works, personal evolution...) or in order to orientate it in the resolution of the practical works. Sergio.coll@urv.cat
