Generalities

The deliverable of this module is a report in which a simple building is treated considering the geotechnics, the structures, the energy and the hydraulic systems.

For each of these subjects, the final report needs to contain at least:

• description of the physical object: dimensions, materials, etc.;
• hypothesis used in modelling.
• the mathematical model (with formulas and justification based on the hypothesis of modelling);
• software implementation of the mathematical model (MATLAB code);
• results of running the software implementation;
• discussion of the results and simulation-based optimization;
• list of references.

The report needs to satisfy minimal criteria of technical writing:

• page of contents;
• numbering of chapters, subchapters, figures, tables, and equations;
• mathematical formulas written with an equation editor;
• technical drawings respecting minimal requirements (format, scale, cotation) see this, for example;
• references for each image and data.

Note: Not indicating the sources of information means that you produced the information by yourself. If information without sources is detected, it will be considered plagiarism and the report will be noted with zero.
