GENERAL OBJECTIVES
Learn the basic knowledge of the kinematics and statics of three-dimensional continuous bodies. Know the constituent behaviors of the most common building materials; in particular, isotropic and homogeneous elastic materials. learn to
address the study of one-dimensional structures made up of beams, both isostatic and hyperstatic. learn the force method and the displacement method.
Acquire skills relating to the study of constraint reactions, the tracking of
diagrams of the characteristics of the internal stress, to the analysis of the deformation.
Acquire the essential knowledge for the analysis of local stresses in beam systems for the purposes of safety checks, both within the allowable stress method and that of limit states. in particular, the study of the static behavior of tip-loaded beams is envisaged.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
Know in general the mechanical behavior of continuous, main bodies
properties of local deformation, stress tensor, constitutive bonds, problem
static and kinematic problem for beam systems.

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
Have mastery of the methods of analysis of beam systems, including the method of
forces and the method of displacements; knowing how to solve simple patterns, whether determined
that are statically indeterminate.

INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGMENT
Knowing how to identify, thanks to the basic concepts acquired, the properties of the most common ones
problems inherent to the statics of beam systems.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Know how to present the properties of any problem relating to the statics of systems
of beams.

LEARNING ABILITY
Knowing how to apply the knowledge acquired in contexts different from those presented
during the course to deal with more complex situations.
Prerequisites
The exams in Mathematical Analysis II and Rational/Static Mechanics are MANDATORY to teaching.
Contents
The course includes the following sections:
- basic elements of the mechanics of continuous bodies: basic concepts of tension and deformation, constitutive bonds and resistance criteria of structural materials (20 hours of lessons; 10 hours of practice);
- static and kinematic problems of flat structures: calculation of support reactions;
free body diagrams; funicular polygons and shape search problems; study of
rigid displacements; classification of structures (20 hours of lessons; 15 hours of practice);
- theory of elastic beams: Timoshenko and Euler-Bernoulli theories; principle of the works
virtual; introduction to the methods of forces and displacements (20 hours of lessons; 20 hours
exercise);
- resistance and stability checks; of the beams (10 hours lesson; 5 hours practice).
Teaching Methods
The course includes theoretical lessons and exercises. The credits of the theoretical lessons are equal to
7, and the credits of the practical lessons are equal to 5.
There is an obligation to attend with a minimum attendance of 70% of the hours of activity
teaching (as per the teaching regulations of the CDS). the teacher will verify achievement
of the percentage of attendance requested through electronic survey.
Verification of learning
At the end of the teaching, it is There is an exam consisting of a written test
application and an oral interview. the written test lasts 3 or 4 hours, depending
of the assigned exercises. The oral test consists of an interview which first involves the
discussion of the exercises carried out during the written test and subsequently questions on the
theoretical part of the course. during the interview, the student will have to demonstrate that he has
understood and have control of the fundamental elements of construction science.
The minimum evaluation level (18/30) is assigned when the student demonstrates uncertainty
in the application of the proposed methods and procedures, and has limited knowledge of
only the basic fundamentals of the topics covered.

The maximum evaluation level (30/30) is awarded when the student demonstrates a
complete and in-depth knowledge of the proposed methods and procedures, and is in
able to solve assigned problems by efficiently and accurately reaching their resolution
solution.
To achieve honors, the following will be taken into account:
- the quality of the presentation, in terms of the use of technical/scientific language
appropriate;
- the ability to cross-correlate between the different topics of the course and, where
possible, with other disciplines;
- demonstrated autonomy of judgement.
