Course description

Concept of building (Elements and systems of a building. Functions and conditions. Global analysis and interaction between systems. General considerations regarding sustainability and life cycle analysis of buildings. Building physics. The inner environment. Thermal and hygrometric conditions. Saving energy. Acoustic insulation. Fire protection). The building's enclosure: facades and roofs. Installations: Electrical, hydraulic, sanitation, climate and vertical transport. Building structure (Basic load-bearing elements: one-way or two-way concrete framing systems, walls, superficial and deep foundations. Structural systems based on walls and framed systems. Systems based on walls and cores. Behaviour of the different structural systems facing horizontal actions. Industrialization and pre-fabrication in construction (Considerations on manufacturing, transport and assembly. Main elements and techniques. Applications of the prefabrication in civil works and building construction).
