The evaluation of the course will be by project.
In the evaluation will be considered the:
- Design notes of the structure, of each element and of the connections
- Drawings. General drawings of the structure, detailed drawings with reinforcement of the elements and detailed
drawings of the connections
- Presentation of the project to the rest of the students and the teachers
