Teaching in the second semester

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Course contents :

Course of Buildings construction techniques 1st Master in Engineering : Architecture
30h + 30h + 2j

Learning outcomes of the course :

This course covers specific problems related to transformations of buildings, that is, situations very different from those encountered new construction.
The primary objective is to make students aware of particular procedures that are made necessary in a situation in which there is a built object which has to be transformed.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

Knowledge of construction techniques covered in the courses on TCBI and TCBII.
Knowledge of elements of applied statics and elementary mechanics of soils.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :

This is presented in the form of projects that are carried as far as the details of construction, drawings, calculations that would be required, and the elaboration of the order and sequence of phases of construction.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :

The theoretical part of the course is presented in two hour class sessions, including on one hand the theoretical procedures applicable to the transformation of buildings, and on the other hand the projection of numerous examples of projects carried out in real situations.
