Problem solving Written proofs formulating basic problems related to the matter.
Learning outcomes: To apply for the calculation and design the basic principles of the laws of the elasticity, elasto-plasticity, water flow in continuous media, consolidation and resistance behavior of soils and rocks.
To know how to design and calculate retaining walls and foundations. To make design decisions and resolve problems appllying the scientific knowledges purchased. To integrate the basic principle of rock and soil mechanics: the geotechnical engineer does not select the materials because it works into a natural context, and the influence of the variability of the input parameters is very relevant and has a very significant influence on the final results. To resolve problems adjusting the design to the specificities of the project and to the natural context where it works.

Laboratory practical Two practices reports will be evaluated.
Learning outcomes: To have the capacity for consulting the technological base related with the most recent investigations within the scope of geotechnical engineering (soil and rock mechanics). To know how characterise, classify and interpret experimental tests of resistance and consolidation in soil-rocks. To make design decisions and resolve problems applying the scientific knowledges purchased.

Other comments on the Evaluation

In the ordinary call, the complete evaluation of the
laboratory practices requires the assistance to the laboratory, the delivery of
a group memory and the exhibition and public discussion of the main results
obtained. At the same time, attendance and resolution of exercises / problems
proposed during the course is mandatory to qualify for the total qualification
associated with this section. In any case, the final grade will be the sum of
the grades of the works proposed during the course (up to 35%) and the exam (up
to 65%).

In subsequent calls of the same course, the exam will score
85% of the final grade and the grade obtained in the laboratory practices will
be saved, considering the qualification of this non-recoverable.

Students who do not take the course for the first time will
be kept, for a year, the laboratory practices qualification previously
obtained.

Exam Timetable: Exam dates and rooms must be verified in the official webpage of the school:
