Objectives
Skills acquired by the student: * Knowledge of the basic requirements of industrial building design, with emphasis on representative construction elements and their optimization methodologies, allowing future development based on original ideas. * Ability to apply knowledge and problem solving in multidisciplinary areas that encompass the complete design of industrial buildings. * Ability to know the aspects and techniques of analytical and computational calculation methods used to project, calculate and design industrial and anti-explosion buildings. * Ability to simplify complex structural problems to allow their analysis and solution. * Ability to project and calculate conventional and advanced structural solutions in the design of industrial and anti-explosion buildings. * Ability to apply advanced methods to industrial structures under dynamic and impulsive loads, such as a blast wave. Learning outcomes acquired by the student. Once the course has been passed, the student is expected to be able to: * Understand the fundamental concepts of industrial building design, being able to raise and project the its complete design. * Acquire knowledge of design and structural calculation of typical industrial buildings. * Calculate and design anti-explosion buildings, considering the effect of dynamic and impulsive loads. * Use commercial codes of design, calculation and analysis of structural elements of constructive application.

Learning activities and methodology
Training activities: * Theoretical classes. Lectures. (0.36 ECTS) * Exercises classes. Classroom exercises for the understanding of the syllabus. (0.48 ECTS) * Computer classroom practice. (0.06 ECTS) * Tutorials. (0.04 ECTS) * Individual and group work of the student. (2.06 ECTS) Teaching methodologies: * Lectures. Class lectures by the professor with the support of computer and audiovisual media, in which the main concepts of the subject are developed and materials and bibliography are provided to complement the students' learning. * Practical sessions. Resolution of problems, etc. posed by the teacher individually or in groups. * Laboratory practice. Calculation and design of an industrial building using specific software, under the guidance and supervision of the teacher. * Elaboration of a report related to the design of the industrial building. This report will be carried out in small groups (2-3 students).
