Other comments and second exam session

The evaluation of the subject will be carried out as follows:

- Practical exercise of geotechnical zoning of an area where different infreastructure-buildings musst be built: an underground parking lot, a low-density residential area and a sports are or similar. This exercise will be carried out with groups of up to 3 people and will allow the organization of a territory taking into acconunt the geotechnical characteristics and the geological risks affected.

-Test tipy with geotechical issues and specific problems. It will be individual and is class time (you can have the notes of the subject and complementay documentation)

Assesment of the subject: practical exercise of geotechnical zoning (75%) and test type test (25%)

Second call

In the case of not passing the course with the continuous evaluation, there will be a second call where the evaluation will be carried out with the same course formula. A new study area will be proposed to characterize.
