Why this continuing education course?
Currently, driven by the imperative need for a more sustainable and more environmentally friendly environment, the Wood Structures are having a hitherto unknown momentum.

Mastery in the design and calculation of structural wood and the training to conceive and design structures with this material, will allow the student to expand the training of classic structural materials such as steel or concrete, placing it at the forefront of structural consulting.

Cases of structures designed with various typological options in wood will be carried out and analysed, analysed according to current regulations and methodologies.


The course focuses on extensively developing the specific knowledge of design and analysis for wooden structures, type, analysis and modelling with specific calculation programs: ESTRUMAD, ETABS, CYPE, Arktec, DLUBAL and ROBOT.

The curriculum has been prepared based on the experiences of the teaching team on previous courses at both university level and in the professional sphere. This provides the basis of reference for the contents of this programme, which is supported by the Association of Structural Consultants (ACE) and the Institute of Structural Studies (IEE), the leading institutions in the sector.

Aims
