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
Road project – Lantieri Modulo 1
Learning outcomes
With the achievement of credits, the student has the skills necessary to design a roundabout. It is able to independently design the pavement, the geometry and the road signs.
Program / Content
- Introduction to the Case Study
- Road materials
- Calculating ESA traffic
- Use of software for the rational calculation of road pavement
- Stress check on the road pavement
- Geometry of a roundabout
- Calculation of roundabout capacity
- Calculation of visibility distances
- Horizontal road signs
Prerequisites / Recommended pre-requisites
The student who accesses this teachingshould know the main types of road superstructures, in terms of constituent materials realization and control.
Structural project – Module 2 (Ferretti)
Learning outcomes
The student masters the skills required for the development of a structural project of a RC building according to Eurocodes, from the design conception to the production of high-quality technical drawings.
Program / Content
- Load analysis
- Preliminary design of the structural elements
- Design and technical drawings of floor slabs
- FEM model of the entire structure
- Design and verification of the structural elements
- Technical drawings of the main elements
- Design and technical drawings of other structural elements (e.g. stairs and foundation)

Teaching methods
Group exercises with theoretical introductions. Periodic revisions of the project developed by groups
Assessment methods
Module 1 (Lantieri): Examination of report prepared during the course with the subject exercise.
Module 2 (Ferretti): Delivery of the final project and oral examination of the knowledge acquired.
At the beginning of the course, students will have to choose the thematic area on which to develop the report.
Teaching tools
Presentations with digital projector. Use of dedicated software.
