TECNICA DELLE COSTRUZIONI E LABORATORIOModule TECNICA DELLE COSTRUZIONI IN CALCESTRUZZO ARMATO E LABORATORIO
Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: FRANCESCA BARBAGALLOExpected Learning Outcomes
Analysis and modelling of RC structures. Limit state verification of cross-sections and members of RC structures. Design of buildings with RC structure from the conception of structural scheme to the detailing of single structural members.
Course Structure
All the topics of the course will be illustrated by taught classes. Numerical examples and a sample structural design will be developed to show the practical application of the theoretical subjects. Learning of the students will be monitored over the course by: (1) development of the design of a RC structure and (2) weekly meeting with the teacher. In case teaching were given in smart working mode, the organization might be slightly modified in order to comply with the course program reported in syllabus.
Required Prerequisites
Attendance of Lessons
Detailed Course Content
Modelling in elastic and inelastic range of behaviour of materials (concrete and steel), resisting mechanisms of RC structural members and loads. Ultimate limit states of RC members: tension, compression, bending moment, bending and axial force, shear, torsion. Serviceability limit state of RC members: stresses, cracking control, deflection control. Design of a building with RC structure.

Learning Assessment
Learning Assessment Procedures
The design of a reinforced concrete building, developed during the semester, wrtiten exams during the semester and an oral exam at the end of the second semester limited to the topics of the module will be avaluated. The oral exam at the end of the second semester, limited to the topics covered in the second semester module, can only be taken if the student has already successfully passed the test at the end of the first semester. Verification of learning can also be carried out electronically, if conditions will require it.
Examples of frequently asked questions and / or exercises
All the topics of the course can be object of questions with the same frequency. The questions can concern theoretical aspects or they can be asked in the form of numerical exercises to be solved. By way of example, the following are possible ways of formulating the question:
1. Provided the description of a structure, the student must illustrate its modeling and the methods of analysis for the evaluation of the response
2. Given a simple structure or a
structural element, the student must determine the load that involves reaching
a limit state
3. Once a structural problem has been indicated, the student must illustrate the physical phenomenon and / or the theoretical formulation and / or the related regulatory requirements
4. Even during the oral exam, the student must be able to set up and develop practical applications on the design / verification of the structural types analyzed in the course
5. Display of the project tables and calculations reports
