PEMADE is offering specific training activities this summer
PEMADE will run two training courses about wood structures, in June and July, in the PEMADE facilities in the Higher Polytechnic School of Lugo, in collaboration with the Galician Forest Industry Agency -XERA.
A course entitled “Wood structure calculations”, of duration 100 hours, will run between 15 June and 15 July. The course will include training in laboratory-based structural testing to improve the students’ knowledge of structural wood and calculations through practical resolution of projects by applying theoretical concepts within the framework of practical needs. Students attending the course will have the chance to visit building sites and companies in the wood manufacturing sector.
A course entitled “Seismic calculations in wood structures”, including 9 hours of presential classes and 12 hours of online classes, will be held between 21 July and 28 July. The course will include training in seismic calculation in wood structures though presential lectures on the theory involved and online lectures on the design and calculation of specific cases using specialized software. Current experimental research will also be considered. The lectures will be given by experts with international experience in the field.
