COURSE ADDRESSED TO:
Course aimed at engineers, architects and technicians in general, who want to know in depth the structural calculations and geotechnical verifications necessary for the proper dimensioning in detail of the foundations by means of steel profiles for the module support structures in photovoltaic projects.
AIM:
The primary objective is to provide all attendees with the technical knowledge contained in current reference standards and regulations, the necessary calculation tools and the know-how and criteria used today in specialized companies in the civil sector to satisfactorily face any project situation from a point of view based on reliability and efficiency. Therefore, this course is conceived from a practical point of view and focused on obtaining results.
METHODOLOGY:
Each module will have classes through an audio-video virtual classroom. Attendees will be able to follow these classes synchronously or asynchronously. They will also work on the different contents of the course using the online platform that will allow them to carry out e-learning training, evaluation activities, download audio-video material, read texts, and communicate and interact with the teacher and with the rest of the students through email and forums.
