Analyze and assess advanced techniques for characterization of construction systems to make them more resistant to natural events” 

The world has faced numerous natural disasters, often fatal, which have led to the creation of a collective awareness of them. Thus, the idea was born for earth-quake resistant buildings that are built according to the conditions of the areas in which they will be located. This has been possible due to countless research, techniques and tests on materials that absorb destructive earthquake waves.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Industrialization and Earthquake-Resistant Construction will show the progress and application of structural models for a project of concrete structures in buildings at risk of being exposed to earthquakes. Likewise, the student will be able to evaluate and interpret the regulations on actions, materials, components and concretes in the seismic field. Furthermore, we will cover the distinction and application of the criteria for the adequate design of the reinforcement of concrete structures exposed to seismic activity.

In addition, the solutions provided when building a timber construction, a skyscraper or a prefabricated construction will be analyzed; differentiating and assessing the different elements and innovations involved. The BIM methodology will also be discussed in detail in this process that has revolutionized the engineering field.

For this reason, we have an excellent teaching staff that offers students their extensive experience in the construction of this type of building. With a 100% online Postgraduate Certificate students will be able to study comfortably, wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality according to the current times with all the guarantees to position the engineer in a highly demanded sector.
