Mestrado em Engenharia Estrutural e Geotécnica

In the current situation, there is a demand, by consulting and construction companies, for increasingly highly qualified professionals in the field of structures and geotechnics. The Master's Degree in Structural and Geotechnical Engineering trains professionals in the design, project, calculation and maintenance of structures and their foundations of all kinds in the field of architecture and civil and industrial engineering.

The periodic updating of codes and regulations in the field of structural and geotechnical engineering (Structural Code, Technical Building Code, Eurocodes, etc.) requires that professionals in this field delve into the principles of operation of structures, as well as as in their design with the most common technologies such as reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, metallic and mixed structures or wooden structures and masonry works. On the other hand, the pathology, the evaluation, the rehabilitation, as well as the maintenance and conservation of the structures, and their foundations become fundamental axes in the advanced training of the technical personnel destined to prolong the useful life of the infrastructures, buildings and existing constructions. In addition, the Master covers advanced disciplines such as earthquake engineering, experimental techniques, deferred analysis of concrete structures, fire resistance, structural dynamics, spatial structures, etc.
