	Objectives
	EXPECTED LEARNING AND PROFICIENCY RESULTS: THE COURSE IS ORIENTED TO TEACHING THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF CONTINUUM MECHANICS AND STRUCTURAL MECHANICS, WITH A FOCUS ON THE STATICS AND KINEMATICS, THE ELASTIC ANALYSIS, THE DESIGN AND THE STRENGTH ANALYSIS OF BARS, BEAMS AND FRAMES. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE MAIN EDUCATIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING GOALS OF THE CLASS ARE CONCERNED WITH THE BASIC ASPECTS OF CONTINUUM MECHANICS (STRESS AND STRAIN; CONSTITUTIVE EQUATIONS); THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE STRUCTURAL MECHANICS (STATIC, KINEMATIC AND ELASTIC PROBLEMS); ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BEAMS FOR AXIAL FORCE, SHEAR, BENDING AND TORSION; BASIC ELEMENTS OF ELASTIC STABILITY. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: WITH REFERENCE TO THE APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING SKILLS, THE CLASS WILL CONFER ABILITIES RELATIVE TO DESCRIPTION OF THE STRESS AND STRAIN FIELDS OF CONTINUOUS BODIES AND THE COMPETENT CONSTITUTIVE EQUATIONS; THE DESIGN AND MODELING OF BASIC STRUCTURAL SCHEMES; THE ASSESSMENT OF THE STABILITY AND STRENGTH CAPACITY OF PLANAR AND SPATIAL STRUCTURAL SCHEMES. MAKING JUDGEMENTS: THE STUDENT WILL HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND CONTROL OF THE THEORETICAL AND APPLICATIVE CONCEPTS COVERED BY THE COURSE WHEN SOLVING PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THOSE STUDIED IN CLASS HOURS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE THE VOCABULARY PERTAINING TO THE DISCIPLINE. LEARNING SKILLS: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO THE SOLUTION OF STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE STUDIED IN CLASS HOURS, BOTH CONCERNING REGARDING THE NATURE OF THE STRUCTURE, AND/OR CONCERNING THE COMPONENT MATERIALS.

	Teaching Methods
	THE CLASS INCLUDES THEORETICAL LECTURES AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES. THE CFU OF THE THEORETICAL LESSONS ARE EQUAL TO 8, THE CFU OF THE EXERCISE LESSONS ARE EQUAL TO 4. A 70% FREQUENCY IN CLASS IS REQUIRED TO PASS THE FINAL EXAM (AS FROM DIDACTIC REGULATIONS). THE INSTRUCTOR CAN VERIFY THE REACHING OF THE MINIMUM REQUIRED PERCENTAGE OF CLASS FREQUENCY, THROUGH ELECTRONIC SURVEYING TOOLS.

	Verification of learning
	THE FINAL EXAM CONSIST OF A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW. THE WRITTEN TEST CAN BE REPLACED BY THREE MIDTERM WRITTEN TESTS, WHILE THE ORAL INTERVIEW CAN BE REPLACED BY A SECOND WRITTEN TEST DEALING WITH THE THEORETICAL TOPICS COVERED BY THE COURSE. THE OPERATIVE CONDITIONS OF THE FINAL TESTS WILL BE COMMUNICATED BEFORE THE EXAM SESSIONS TAKE PLACE. THE WRITTEN TEST HAS DURATION OF 3 OR 4 HOURS, DEPENDING ON THE ASSIGNED APPLICATIVE EXCERCISES, POSSIBLY SUBDIVIDED INTO THREE SEPARATE MIDTERM TESTS. THE EXERCISES GIVEN DURING SUCH WRITTEN TESTS WILL BE PREFERABLY FOCUSED ON THE FOLLOWING TOPICS (NOT MANDATORY): STATICS AND KINEMATICS OF MOMENT RESISTING FRAMES; TRUSS STRUCTURES: DESIGN AND STRENGTH ANALYSIS; CONTINUOUS BEAMS: ELASTIC AND STRENGTH ANALYSIS. THE ORAL EXAMINATION CONSISTS IN AN INTERVIEW WHICH FIRST DEALS WITH THE DISCUSSION OF THE EXERCISES GIVEN IN THE WRITTEN TEST AND NEXT ON THE THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE COURSE. DURING THE INTERVIEW, THE STUDENT SHOULD DEMONSTRATE TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND CONTROL OF THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THE MECHANICS OF SOLIDS AND STRUCTURES. THE ORAL EXAMINATION CAN BE REPLACED BY A WRTTEN TEST WITH OPEN ANSWER QUESTIONS ON THE THEORETICAL TOPICS OF THE COURSE, EVENTUALLY INCLUDING ALSO THE SOLUTION OF REVIEW APPLICATIVE EXERCISES. THE MINIMUM GRADE (18) IS GIVEN WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES A GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF THE APPLICATIVE ASPECTS OF THE COURSE, SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE THEORETICAL ASPECTS. THE MAXIMUM GRADE (30) IS GIVEN WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES AN EXCELLENT UNDERSTANDING OF THE THEORETICAL AND APPLICATIVE ASPECTS OF THE COURSE. TO ACHIEVE THE "LAUDE" GRADE, THE STUDENT MUST DEMONSTRATE/EXHIBIT: -A SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE AT THE ORAL INTERVIEW, MAINLY IN TERMS OF THE RICHNESS AND ACCURACY OF THE VOCABULARY; -THE CAPACITY TO CORRELATE THE DIFFERENT TOPICS COVERED BY THE COURSE, AND THEIR LINKS WITH OTHER DISCIPLINES; -A DEMONSTRATED INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT.
