TECNICA DELLE COSTRUZIONI E LABORATORIOModule TECNICA DELLE COSTRUZIONI IN ACCIAIO E LABORATORIO
Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: EDOARDO MICHELE MARINOExpected Learning Outcomes
Course Structure
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.
Required Prerequisites
Attendance of Lessons
Detailed Course Content
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.

Learning Assessment
Learning Assessment Procedures
The student will be evaluated based on: design of a steel structure developed during the semester, written tests during the semester and oral examination at the end of the first semester limited to the contents of this semester. The student that successfully passes the examination at the end of the first semester will be allowed to take the final examination of the course limited to the contents explained in the second semester.
Verification of learning can also be carried out on-line if the it is required by the pandemic situation.
Examples of frequently asked questions and / or exercises
All the topics of the course are asked with same frequency. The questions can concern theoretical aspects or they can be asked in the form of numerical exercises to be solved. As examples, possible ways of formulating the questions are reported in the following:
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 member, the student must determine the load that leads it to the attainement of 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 analysed in the course
