	Teaching Methods
	TEACHING INCLUDES 90 HOURS OF LECTURES CORRESPONDING TO 9 CFU. IN PARTICULAR, IT IS DEVELOPED THROUGH LESSONS ON THEORY (ABOUT 62.5% - 7.5 CFU), EXERCISES IN THE CLASSROOM (ABOUT 35% - 4 CFU) AND PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES IN LABORATORY (ABOUT 2.5% - 0.5 CFU). THE EXERCISES IN THE CLASSROOM CONSIST OF THE APPLICATION OF THE STUDIED TOPICS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF TWO PROJECTS: CONCRETE-BRICK FLOOR AND CONCRETE REINFORCED FRAME WITH TWO SPANS AND TWO STOREYS. ATTENDANCE AT COURSES IS COMPULSORY FOR AT LEAST 70% OF TEACHING HOURS NECESSARY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLANNED PROGRAM. THE FREQUENCY IS CHECKED THROUGH "EASYCOURSE.UNISA.IT - RILEVAZIONE DELLE PRESENZE".

	Verification of learning
	THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE COURSE GOALS WILL BE VERIFIED BY MEANS OF A WRITTEN TEST AND ORAL EXAM AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE LECTURES. THE WRITTEN TEST, DURATION 4 HOURS, CONSISTS IN NUMERICAL EXERCISES ON THE CALCULATION OF THE SOLLECITATIONS IN BEAMS AND / OR IN FRAME STRUCTURES, IN THE DESIGN AND/OD CHECK OF R.C. MEMEBERS IN LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR FIELD. THE ORAL EXAM, DURATION ABOUT 1 HOUR, WITH THE AIM OF ASCERTAINING ALSO THE ABILITY TO DEVELOP A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS OF THE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND THE COMMUNICATION SKILLS, CONSISTS ON: A) DISCUSSION OF THE DRAWINGS DESIGNED BY THE STUDENT DURING THE COURSE; B) DISCUSSION OF THE TEST RESULTS; C) DISCUSSION OF TOPICS COVERED IN THE LESSONS WITH AT LEAST ONE QUESTION ON THE DETERMINATION OF THE STRESSES IN ISOSTATIC AND IPERSTATC BEAMS AND FRAME STRUCTURES, ONE ON THE CHECK AND DESIGN CONCRETE REINFORCED ELEMENTS IN LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR FIELD, ONE ON THE MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF THE BEHAVIOUR OF STRUCTURES OF MODEST SIZE. THE FINAL VOTE WILL BE DETERMINED AS THE AVERAGE OF THAT ATTRIBUTED TO THE DISCUSSION OF THE WRITTEN TEST, TO THE DISCUSSION OF THE DRAWING AND TO THE ANSWERS TO EACH QUESTION. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE "LAUDE" WE WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT: - THE QUALITY OF THE PRESENTATION, IN TERMS OF USING APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE - THE ABILITY OF CROSS-CORRELATION BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT TOPICS OF THE COURSE AND, WHERE POSSIBLE, WITH OTHERS DISCIPLINES; - THE AUTONOMY OF PROVEN JUDGMENT.
