Course contents

MODULE 1 (Guardigli)

• Design criteria linked to user well-being and environmental sustainability.

• Existing reinforced concrete buildings and critical issues from an energy and structural point of view.

• New reinforced concrete buildings: materials, construction techniques, construction elements (vertical structures, horizontals, roofs, foundations, completion elements).

• New wooden buildings: materials, construction techniques, construction elements (vertical structures, horizontals, foundations, completion elements).

• Notes on steel constructions.

MODULE 2 (Pasquini)

• Design criteria related to building safety.

• Soil – structure interaction

• Existing load-bearing masonry buildings and their critical issues from an energy and structural point of view.

• New load-bearing masonry buildings: materials, construction techniques, construction elements (vertical structures, horizontals, roofs, foundations, completion elements)

• Evolution of seismic regulations for interventions on existing building stock and the main techniques for seismic improvement for existing load-bearing masonry buildings.

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 points and may include: interactive questionnaires, activities in the LeDo laboratory, creation of small construction prototypes, 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 two additional points to the final average for positive participation in the exercises.

Teaching tools

CAD and physical scale models
