The objectives of the subject are the following ones:
- To let the students know about the structural behaviour of building elements and its implications in the design and calculation of the forest constructions.
-To let the students know about the legal rule of application about construction and fundamentally the process of dimensioning of the structural elements of the buildings by the following process: evaluation of actions, calculation of structures, dimensioning of structural elements in armed concrete, design of foundations.
-To achieve, on the one hand, that the students are able to realise the process of dimensioning previously described for the case of simple structures and, on the other hand , that they are able to interpret the results of the calculations obtained by software specify for the case of structures more complex.
- To let the students know about the elements, materials and construction typologies most commonly used in the forest constructions, as well as to know the criteria for evaluating them according to the criteria of sustainable construction.

In this subject, students will acquire a range of generic competences, desirable in any university degree and specific of engineering, in general engineering or in forestry and the environment engineering, in particular. Within the framework of competencies that are designed in the memory, it will be worked the following ones:
BASIC COMPETENCES:
- That students can apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and have the skills that are usually demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments in solving problems within their field of study (CB2).
- That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy (CB5).
GENERAL COMPETENCES:
- Knowledges of construction needed so much for the management of the forest systems how for his conservation (CX9).
- Capacity to design, direct, elaborate, implement and interpret projects and plans, as well as to draft technical reports, memories of recognition, assessments and valuations (CX 13).
SPECIFIC COMPETENCES:
- Forest constructions. Forest roads (CECF10).
- Basic knowledge about the use and programming of computers, operating systems, databases and software with application in engineering (CEFB3).
CROSS-COMPREHENSIVE COMPETENCES:
- Capacity for analysis and synthesis (CT1).
- Capacity for reasoning and argumentation (CT2).
- Ability to work individually, with self-critical attitude (CT3).
- Use of information in a foreign language (CT11).
- Ability to solve problems through the integrated application of their knowledge (CT12).
Most of the teaching will be classroom-based and encompasses large group lectures and interactive classes (seminars and laboratory classes) in small groups.
In the sessions devoted to the theoretical teaching will be employed the expository method, so that the students can receive an indispensable theoretical base for the application of the dialectic and heuristic methods, that require of some minimum knowledges. The following competences will be worked: CX9, CX13, CECF10 e CT1.
Moreover, some seminars will be realised, in which the students will resolve practical cases and they will debate about concrete subjects. In these sessions will procure that the students take an active attitude, by resolving by themselves the practical cases formulated or by preparing the subjects of debate, resorting to the help of the professor when it was necessary. A practical case will also be included in which material in English is used (such as scientific article, text, web resource, technical video, databases, etc.). In this case the paper of the professor will be to accompany to the student in the process of learning. The following competences will be worked: CX9, CECF10, CB2, CB5, CT2, CT3 and CT11.
It is contemplated also the realisation of practices based in the utilisation of existent computer tools in the laboratory of calculation of structures. In these sessions will procure develop the skill of the students to handle the specific software for the resolution of practical cases of calculations of structures and dimensioning of constructive elements. At the same time, it will be tried that they develop their capacity to interpret the results obtained. Each student will realise individually the calculation in the computer and later there will be a session of debate about the results obtained. The following competences will be worked: CB2, CEFB3 e CT12.
A part of the teaching is non-face-to-face and will consist on that the students have to perform exercises, reports of practices, course work, etc., which are entrusted to them.
FIRST OPPORTUNITY
The system includes a continuous assessment (attendance, participation, use of practices, course works) combined with a final test (complementary to continuous evaluation), as described below:
a.- Written exam. Competences CB2 CX9, CECF10, CT1 and CT11. (65% of the final mark).
b.- Works delivered and/or presented. Competence CB5, CX13, CECF10, CT3 and CT11 (15% of the final mark). It will consist on perform the works previously proposed.
c.- Class attendance. Competences CB2, CX9, CX13 and CT2 (5% of the final mark).
d.- Participation in classroom activities. Competences CB5, CX9, CX13 and CT2 (5% of the final mark).
e.- Practices. Competences CB5, CEFB3, CECF10, CT3 and CT12 (10% of the final mark). Attendance to practical classes, active participation and delivery of the work done in the classroom will be considered.
Final qualification will be obtained as the sum of the scores given to each concept. To pass the subject is necessary to reach:
- A minimum of 5 points in total.
- At least 3 points in the sum of the sections a+b.
SECOND OPPORTUNITY
In the second opportunity, the same criteria will be maintained as in the first opportunity.
REPEATING STUDENTS
Repeat students will be able to keep the grades obtained in the previous course in all or any of the following sections: b, c, d, e.
STUDENTS WITH EXEMPTION
Students who have recognized an exemption from class attendance in the conditions indicated in Order 1/2017 of the General Secretariat of the USC, to pass the subject, must take the written exam on the official date established by the School (100% of final qualification, in which it is necessary to obtain a minimum score of 5 points to pass the subject).
Observations:
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for the evaluation of student academic performance and review of qualifications” will be applied.
According to the memory of the degree, the hourly distribution of the subject, from a total of 112.5 h, is the following one:
- Presential teaching: 18 h expositive sessions, 18 h interactive sessions, 2.25 h group tutoring.
- Student work: 74,25 h.
In accordance with the memory of the degree, it is considered necessary the following:
- Reading and preparation of subjects: 30 h (approximately 1.5 hours by each hour of expository sessions).
- Realization of exercises and practical cases derivatives of the seminar classes, preparation of the practices and realization of course works: 30 h (approximately 1.5 hours by each hour of interactive sessions).
-Preparation of proofs of evaluation and exam: 14.25 h.
Thus, it is considered necessary to spend, by average, about between three and four hours of study and personal work by week.
- The class attendance is very important as well as the daily follow-up of the contents. This course needs a time of maturation of the study.
- An active attitude in the learning is needed to assimilate and consolidate the concepts. In this case, this active attitude is concreted in the personal work by trying to resolve the problems and practical cases proposed, and by asking in the class, the doubts that arise.
- The practise and seminars are very interrelated with the theory. It is not recommended class attendance only to any of the different types of classes (expository or interactive).
- It is very important to handle the bibliography recommended.
- It is recommended to use and take advantage of established hours of tutoring.
For the follow-up of the course, the students has of a virtual course with different materials as educational guide, presentations employed in the expository sessions, guide of practices, access to interesting web pages, etc.
Comment: In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for the evaluation of student academic performance and review of qualifications” will be applied.
