PROGETTO DI STRUTTURE

Development of knowledges for the design of steel structures and reinforced concrete structures.

Development of knowledges for the selection of the structural type for different constructions.

Theoretical lessons and examples

Attendance to the lessons will be monitored daily and is strongly recommended as it is consistent with the proposed training model, which aims to encourage gradual learning, active participation of the student in the classroom and dialogue between teachers and students.

Attendance is also recommended as the teacher is expected to carry out numerical exercises in the classroom.

• Properties and behaviour of concrete and steel materials.
• Design of structural members of r.c. structures: slabs, beams, columns.
• Design of structural members of steel structures.
• Design of connections in steel sctructures.
• Analysis of different structural types.

The gradual learning of the topics covered in the course 
will be assessed by the teacher following the corrections of the project work and following the student's participation in class discussions.
The final assessment will be carried out on the basis of the project work and by means of an oral exam on the topics of the course.

Note: the verification of learning can also be carried out in remote, should the conditions require it

The questions of the oral exam will focus on the topics covered during the course
