	Objectives
	EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS AND SKILLS TO ACQUIRE: ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE OF THE THEORY AND DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE AND STEEL BUILDINGS IN THE SEISMIC ZONE. LEARN THE THEORETICAL BASES FOR DYNAMIC ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BUILDINGS IN SEISMIC ZONES. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING SKILLS: KNOW METHODS FOR EQUIVALENT STATIC ANALYSIS AND FOR DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES IN SEISMIC ZONE. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: KNOWING HOW TO DESIGN AND ANALYZE STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS, EVEN COMPLEX ONES, FOR MULTI-STOREY BUILDINGS IN SEISMIC ZONE. AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT: KNOWING HOW TO IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR ANALYZING A STRUCTURAL SYSTEM. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: KNOW HOW TO WORK IN GROUPS AND ORALLY EXPOSE THEMES RELATED TO ANALYSIS AND STRUCTURAL DESIGN IN THE SEISMIC ZONE. KNOWING HOW TO COMMUNICATE THROUGH THE MOST MODERN GRAPHICAL TOOLS THE DESIGN SOLUTIONS IDENTIFIED. ABILITY TO LEARN: KNOWING HOW TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE AND DEEPEN THE TOPICS COVERED THROUGH THE STUDY, IN COMPLETE AUTONOMY, ABOUT MATERIALS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PROPOSED.

	Teaching Methods
	TEACHING IS DEVELOPED BY MEANS OF LESSONS ON THEORY, EXERCISES IN THE CLASSROOM . THE HOURS OF LESSON ARE 58 WHILE 2 HOURS ARE DEVOTED TO THE EXPLANATION ON APPLICATIVE EXAMPLES. THE THEORETICAL LESSONS AND EXERCISES ARE AIMED AT UNDERSTANDING THE BEHAVIOR OF BUILDINGS UNDER SEISMIC ACTIONS STARTING FROM THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF THE SAME. FOR THE STUDENTS OF BUILDING ENGINEERING ARCHITECTURE ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY AND IS ESTIMATED AT 70% OF THE TOTAL LECTURE HOURS. IT WILL BE VERIFIED ON THE BASIS OF THE PROVIDED ELECTRONICAL METHODS.

	Verification of learning
	THE EVALUATION OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES SET WILL TAKE PLACE THROUGH AN ORAL EXAMINATION THAT WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE END OF THE COURSE. TO PASS THE EXAM THE STUDENT MUST DEMONSTRATE THAT HE HAS UNDERSTOOD AND KNOWS HOW TO APPLY THE MAIN CONCEPTS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE. THE VOTE, EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS WITH POSSIBLE HONORS, WILL DEPEND ON THE MATURITY ACQUIRED ON THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE, ALSO TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSITION AND THE AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT DEMONSTRATED. TO ACQUIRE THE MINIMUM GRADE (18) THE STUDENT MUST DEMONSTRATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SEISMIC DESIGN, THE BASIC RELATIONSHIPS THAT REGULATE THE DYNAMICS OF SYSTEMS WITH A SINGLE DEGREE OF FREEDOM AND MULTIPLE DEGREES OF FREEDOM, THE METHODOLOGIES OF ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS. THE HIGHEST MARKS (30L) WILL BE AWARDED TO THOSE WHO DEMONSTRATE BRILLIANCE AND CRITICAL ABILITY IN THE EXPOSITION OF THE ARGUMENTS AND IN THE ASSOCIATION OF THE SAME
