Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE SKILLS NECESSARY FOR THE DESIGN OF BUILDINGS WITH INNOVATIVE SEISMIC PROTECTION STRATEGIES, SUCH AS ISOLATION AND/OR EXTRA-STRUCTURAL DISSIPATION OF ENERGY AND PAYS ATTENTION TO: REFERENCE METHODOLOGIES FOR ANALYSIS OF THE SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF BUILDINGS ISOLATED AND/OR EQUIPPED WITH DISSIPATION SYSTEMS; TYPES OF ISOLATION AND/OR DISSIPATION DEVICES AND CONSTRUCTION DETAILS; PROJECT CRITERIA AND REFERENCE TECHNICAL STANDARDS.
Prerequisites
ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE IN MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS IS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES. PARTICULARLY, A SOUND KNOWLEDGE OF THE MECHANICS OF RIGID AND ELASTIC IS REQUIRED.
Contents
THE COURSE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING TRAINING UNITS: 1) ANALYSIS OF THE SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF CIVIL BUILDINGS: BASICS OF CLASSICAL DYNAMIC ANALYSIS, INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEMS THEORY, ADVANCED METHODS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF NON-CLASSICALLY DAMPED SYSTEMS; 2) PRINCIPLES OF STRUCTURAL CONTROL: INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEM CONTROL THEORY, CONTROL STRATEGIES AND METHODOLOGIES IN CIVIL ENGINEERING, SEISMIC ISOLATION, ADDITIONAL ENERGY DISSIPATION, BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SEMI-ACTIVE AND ACTIVE CONTROL; 3) PROJECT CRITERIA AND METHODOLOGIES: REFERENCE PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR TECHNICAL STANDARDS, THE DESIGN OF NEW BUILDINGS EQUIPPED WITH INSULATION AND/OR DISSIPATION SYSTEMS, THE SEISMIC UPGRADING OF EXISTING BUILDINGS THROUGH INSULATION, CONSTRUCTION RULES AND DETAILS, METHODOLOGIES AND PROCEDURES ANALYSIS AND VERIFICATION.
THE DIDACTIC ACTIVITIES FORESEE AN ALTERNATION OF THE PROPOSED THEMES ALSO THROUGH THE CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF REAL AND THEORETICAL EXAMPLES.
Teaching Methods
THE MODULE IS BASED ON BOTH THEORETICAL LECTURES AND PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. WORKED EXAMPLES ARE PRESENTED TO APPLY THE THEORIES TO CASES OF PRACTICAL RELEVANCE.
4 CFU ARE CONSTITUTED BY THEORY AND 2 CFU BY PRACTICAL EXERCITATIONS. ATTENDENCY IS NOT COMPULSORY.
Verification of learning
THE FINAL ASSESSMENT IS DONE THROUGH AN ORAL EXAM OF AN HOUR AT THE END OF THE COURSE. TO PASS THE EXAM, THE STUDENT SHOULD DEMONSTRATE TO HAVE UNDERSTOOD AND TO BE ABLE OF APPLYING THE MAIN TOPICS WHICH ARE PART OF THE PROGRAMME.
IN PARTICULAR, THE MINIMUM MARK WILL BE ACHIEVED IF THE STUDENT PROVES TO HAVE ACQUIRED THE MAIN DESIGN TECHNIQUES ILLUSTRATED IN THE COURSE.

FOR THE PURPOSES OF PRAISE, THE FOLLOWING ASPECTS WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT:
THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSURE IN TERMS OF THE USE OF AN APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE;
THE ABILITY TO CORRELATE DIFFERENT TOPICS OF THE COURSE, WHERE POSSIBLE, WITH OTHER DISCIPLINES;
THE CAPACITY OF AUTONOMY JUDGMENT ACHIEVED.
