Learning outcomes
In the course the students will develop a project concerning one of the subject covered in the courses of the 1st year. In particular, the student will develop a project in one of the following fields: structural, hydraulics, road and transportation. The project will be done by the student alone or in small groups, under the supervision of the instructor
Course contents
In the course, students will develop a project concerning one of the main areas of the civil engineering course: structures, hydraulics, road & transportation. The project will be done individually or in small groups, organized at the beginning of the course. The teacher will illustrate the main steps of the design procedure, and the students will follow them with in-class and at-home work.
Structures: Design of a reinforced concrete structure in a seismic region
- Definition of loads: design loads, definition of seismic actions, limit state load combinations.
- Developement of a FEM model of the structure.
- Design of the floor slabs: hollow clay blocks slabs and 1-way slabs.
- Design of beams and columns: design for seismic actions, ultimate limit state, and serviceability limit states.
- Design of foundations.
Hydraulics
Roads & transportation
Teaching methods
Direct in-class teaching and at-home work.
Assessment methods
The student shows a project done in one of three areas:
Structures: Design of a reinforced concrete structure in a seismic region
Hydraulics
Roads & transportation
Teaching tools
Blackboard, presentations, and computer programs
