Learning outcomes
Goal of the course is to provide practical application to the previously acquired knowldges regarding the structural behaviour of load carrying members. The applications will be developed with specific reference to concrete and steel structural skeletons.
At the end of the course the student will have sufficient skills to allow her/him to conceive and size (in gross terms) structural frames, with references to the italian code and seismic provisions.
In particular the student will get acquainted with:
1) the most common structural bearing system (moment resisting and non moment resisting frames)
2) appropriate sizing of steel column, beams, and bracing system
3) appropriate sizing of concrete column and beams
4) appropriate sizing of systems of foundations
5) develop appropriate technical drawings

Teaching methods
Oral classes
Afternoon revisions of projects
Presentation of the design project every semester
Presence in class is mandatory as per rules of the "corso di Laurea"
Assessment methods
The assesment will encompass a final exam.
According to the rules of the "corso di studi", in order to access the final exam the student will have to be present to a sufficient numer of classes and have mastered the basic concept of the course "con profitto".
In order to assess the mastering of the basic concepts, the students will have to present their design work in two seminars.
The first seminar is held in the last week of class of December and in this case the students will illustrate their design of a steel structure.
The second seminar is held in the last week of class of May and in this case the studdents will illustrate their design of a concrete structure.
Once granted the access to the exam, the student will have to sustain an oral exam aimed at assessing the capabilities of the studdent in dimensioning and designing a steel and concrete structure.
The pass of the exam is guaranteed to the students that will show a sufficient capabilty of mastering the information given in class and in particular in using formulas, concepts and quantities necessary to complete a structural design of a building structure.
A higher grade will be given to the studdents that will show to use with confidence the concepts given in class solving complex problems and showing a good operative capability.
Fail can be related to unsufficient knowledge of key concepts, lack of technical languate and / or insufficient operative capabilities.
