Course contents
MODULE 1 (Guardigli)
• Buildings: historical-evolutionary perspective
• The building system: needs, requirements and performance.
• Reinforced concrete buildings: historical evolution and construction principles.
• Reinforced concrete buildings: materials, construction techniques, construction elements (vertical structures, horizontals, roofs, foundations, completion elements).
• Wooden buildings: wood, construction techniques, construction elements (vertical structures, horizontals, foundations, completion elements).
• Notes on steel constructions.
MODULE 2 (Pasquini)
• Design criteria related to building safety.
• Fire safety.
• Load-bearing masonry buildings: materials, construction techniques, construction elements (vertical structures, horizontals, roofs, foundations, completion elements)
• Existing buildings: critical issues from an energy and structural point of view and intervention criteria for performance improvement and regulatory compliance.

Teaching methods
THEORETICAL PART
Classroom lessons with the support of slides.
APPLICATION PART
Exercise activities with a practical approach to the construction principles illustrated during the theory lessons.
4 exercises that increase the final grade by up to 2,5 points and may include: interactive questionnaires, activities in the LeDo laboratory, creation of small prototypes and/or construction details, analysis of an existing building.
Assessment methods
Final written exam on theory topics, to be taken on the same day for both modules. Approximate time: 1 hour and thirty minutes per module.
Questions on the topics of the exercises, only for those who have not carried them out during the course.
More precise indications on the type of questions present in the written test are presented in the classroom towards the end of the course.
Final grade, average of the grade of the individual modules. Up to 2,5 additional points to the final average for positive participation in the exercises.
Teaching tools
CAD and physical scale models.
