GENERAL INFORMATION

The Geological Engineering is a discipline that in the last years has had a big development, had to largely to that has configured a normative panorama in which the studies geotécnicos are prescriptive in the process constructive. The geological singularity of the Canarian Archipelago, of volcanic nature, his lejanía and his small surface with regard to the peninsular territory, does that, in the majority of the occasions, do not collect the appearances referred to the properties of the terrain in the instructions and codes that dictate on a national scale, remaining some lagunas interpretative that it has to sortear the Canarian professional, many times without success.

On the other hand, the hydrology in the archipelago conditions all the types of aprovechamientos hydraulic that exist, even the no conventional like the desalación, know these processes, serves of useful tool to the hour of taking of decisions in the hydraulic planning of the islands. The traditional systems of aprovechamiento of the resources hídricos conviven and complement with the systems of desalación, fully adapted to the problematic of the insular water.

This course contributes to improve the flow of scientific information-technical between the professionals of the sector, students of civil engineering, mining and geological to endow him of the necessary tools to tackle the problems of índole geotécnica and hidrogeológica in volcanic means, that alas does not resolve the national rule at present in force.

During the course will tackle of intensive form appearances of the Civil and Geological Engineering applied to terrains and volcanic islands.

AIMS

• Know the volcanic processes linked to the construction of infrastructures.
• Know the hydrological cycle in a volcanic island.
• Know the most usual materials in volcanic terrains and his applications.

• Know essays and the characterisation geomecánica of volcanic materials.
• Know the aprovechamientos and singular hydraulic works in volcanic terrains.
• Know the units geotécnicas in volcanic means.
• Know the principles of management and hydrological planning in terrains archipelagos.
• Know the singularities of the recognitions geotécnicos.
• Know the singularities of the systems of resources hídricos Canarians, from the traditional systems, going through the no conventional like the desalación and the reuse and finalising by the future combinations (central hidroeólicas reversible) between the binomial waters and energy.
• Know the Guide of planning of studies geotécnicos for edificación in volcanic terrains (GETCAN-11).
