TECNICA DELLE COSTRUZIONI E LABORATORIO TECNICA DELLE COSTRUZIONI

Learning Objectives

• Structural analysis and design of steel structures

  Analysis and modelling of steel structures Analysis of statically undetermined structural systems. Limit state verification of cross-sections and members of steel structures. Design of buildings with steel structure from the conception of structural scheme to the detailing of single structural members.

• Structural analysis and design of RC structures

  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

• Structural analysis and design of steel structures

  All the subjects of the course will be illustrated by the teacher during 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 steel 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.

Detailed Course Content

• Structural analysis and design of steel structures

  Methods for verification of structures: from allowable stresses to limit states. Modelling in elastic and inelastic range of behaviour of steel, resisting mechanisms of steel structural members and loads. Ultimate limit states of steel members: tension, compression, bending moment, bending and axial force, shear, torsion. Serviceability limit state of steel members: deflection control. Design of a building with steel structure.

• Structural analysis and design of RC structures

  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.
