Learning objectives
<p>The course provides principles and methods for dimensioning of the more used structural elements, and for their control, of buildings made in reinforced concrete, masonry, steel, timber. <br />
The analyses are carried on to the aim to evaluate resistance, service efficiency, robustness and durability on the basis of Italian recent code and eurocodes. <br />
Much attention are put on problems regards to the choice of structural schematization, action analysis, technology and detailing. <br />
<br />

Prerequisites
Basic concepts of the courses "Scienza delle Costruzioni" and "Tecnica delle Costruzioni"; to be able in designing of structural elements in reinforced concrete, steel, timber, masonry. <br />
Course unit content
<p>Types and spatial organization of building structure. <br />
Action on structure. Dead load and service load. Snow, wind, earthquake actions. <br />
Design of reinforced concrete structures: slabs, beams, columns, staircase, cantilever. <br />
Design of masonry structures: in-plane and out-plane bending, shear strength, seismic resistance and P.O.R. method. <br />
Design of steel structures: welding and bolt structural fasteners. Composite structures in steel and concrete. <br />
Design of timber structures: one-way and two-way slabs, design of truss. <br />
Design of foundation structures. Isolated footings and foundation walls. Soil retaining structures. <br />
