Learning unit contents
Structure
This part of the course is the first component of the Building Technology 3 course.
It continues the structural learning initiated in the first year of the bachelor's degree.
The main chapters of this structural course component (20h) are as follows:
- simple isostatic structures
- internal forces and stresses
- geometric characteristics of cross-sections
- behaviour of materials
- pre-dimensioning: wood and steel
Construction
This part of the course is the second component of the Building Technology 3 course.
It continues the construction learning initiated in the first year of the bachelor's degree.
The main chapters of this construction course component (20h) are as follows:
- Facades
- Openings
- Floors
- Roofs
- Foundations, bases
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Structure
Objectives for the structural course component :
Through the actions and reflections carried out during the sessions, the student will be able to :
- Determine stresses and strains in simple isostatic structures
- Determine the geometric characteristics of cross-sections
- Estimate alone the order of magnitude of cross-sections and the overall dimensions of elements in timber and steel structures
- Pre-dimension timber and steel structures using simplified methods adapted to the work of the architect
Construction
Objectives for the construction course component :
Through the actions and reflections carried out during the sessions, the student will be able to :
- distinguish the different construction systems and their components
- estimate the consequences of choices relating to construction systems used in building construction projects
- identify construction methods to use in construction projects

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Structure
Ex cathedra course combining theoretical input and practical applications.
The course is given in 10 interactive face-to-face sessions, in the form of 2-hour lectures.
Some sessions require the analysis of documents or the viewing of a video in preparation for the lesson, following the logic of a flipped classroom. Others require work to be done before or after the lesson, in order to ensure that knowledge is properly acquired.

Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
Further information:
The result of the Structure and Construction course is a proportion between the first Structure component (weighted at 50% = 20h/40h) and the second Construction component (weighted at 50% = 20h/40h).
Further details:
Each course component is assessed separately and awarded a mark out of 20 points, rounded down to the nearest whole point, which accounts for 50% of the overall mark for the course.
To pass the subject, students must obtain a minimum mark of 8/20 in each of the course components AND an overall mark of 10/20 or more.
If the student obtains at least 8/20 in each of the course components, the overall mark will correspond to the average of the two components, rounded up to the nearest whole number. Otherwise, the overall mark will be equal to the lower of the marks for the two components.
Deferral of marks between the first and second sessions
If, in the first-session assessment, a student obtains a mark of at least 10/20 for a course component but fails to gain credit for the course unit, the mark for that component will automatically be carried over to the second-session assessment. The student must then re-sit only the failed course component.
If, however, the student wishes to re-sit the entire teaching unit assessment, the new mark obtained will then replace the previous mark, whether or not it is higher.

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
Structure
In order to improve teaching and keep it up to date, some course content may be revised from one year to the next. It is therefore necessary to update course notes from previous years. We do not guarantee that course sessions will be recorded as podcasts. Should this be the case, the podcast will remain accessible for one week via unicast. After this period, the podcast will no longer be accessible.
