The objective of the course is to train students in the management of the basic concepts that will allow them to understand the behavior of the most frequently used in civil works steel structures and to have the basics to perform a design of different types of elements put under different requirements including gravitational, static, dynamic loads and horizontal loads caused by wind and/or earth quakes. Participants study designs responding to tension, compression, and flexion and combined loads such as flexion-compression or shear-tension. Bolt and welded connections are reviewed. By the end of the course, the student will be able to develop a conceptual design of components and its connections applied to buildings, roofs or bridges. Special emphasis is given to seismic behavior of buildings built using steel structures and the special seismic requirements under the applicable regulation. Students will conduct a series of demonstrative experimental tests on different conditions and loads that happen in practice and that help illustrate the theoretical developments of the course. Students carry out a real structure design project.

Foundation analysis frequently faces complex problems in that land stresses and deformations are the result of the interaction between the soil and the structure in media whose properties can be random. This course will teach the student how to analyze foundation or containment structures, bearing in mind the variables of the terrain and the stochastic variables. We will study diverse problems of interaction between the land and a foundation: foundation slabs with individual or group piles under generalized loads, pile slab systems, excavations with panels or sheet piles. We will also study foundations on complex soils such as compressible soils or expansive or collapsible soils. The course will also look at numeric or physical modeling techniques using geotechnical centrifuges.

ICYA-4602 Diseño Avanzado de Pavimentos

Modern tendencies in the designing of flexible and rigid pavements point at designs based on deformations and stresses in the different layers of the pavement. These design methodologies are known as mechanicist methodologies, to this end, we present first the main properties of the materials making up the pavement: materials with asphaltic or hydraulic binder, or unbinded materials. We also study the methodologies of stress analysis, and deformations in the layers of pavement. We also describe the procedures of design for different structures of pavement: flexible, with thick asphaltic layers, mixed, reversed and rigid. Finally, we present the fashion of involving within the designs the stochastic variables, and we present the methodologies of optimization that involve construction costs and pavement maintenance.

Why are some transportation plans implemented? But why do the majority of those plans just decorate bookshelves? What role do technicians play in the planning process? How can technicians have an influence on a technical and political process such as planning? How does a democratic society make collective decisions? This course will attempt to give a response to these questions by analyzing case studies, both Colombian and foreign. In addition, the course will look at recent developments in decision-making theory, and developments in the theories on design, analysis, and implementation of transportation plans. The basic objective is to understand the determining factors that lead to the implementation of a plan and lead to the plan meeting its objectives. The course has other objectives such as improving the student’s analytical capacity, his oral and written expression, and his tolerance for the ideas of others.
