Objectives
THE COURSE PRESENTS ADVANCED TOPICS IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING.IN PARTICULAR THE COURSE IS AIMED TO THE ACQUISITION OF A PRACTICAL DESIGN ABILITY AND TO THE ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURAL BRIDGE SYSTEMS.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THE COURSE CONSISTS OF TWO MAIN SECTIONS. THE FIRST ONE IS DEVOTED TO PRESENTING ANALYTICAL AND SEMI-ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR ELASTIC AND PLASTIC ANALYSIS OF 2D MEMBERS (I.E. PLATES, PLATES ON GRADE, TUBES, SHELLS). THE SECOND SECTION IS DEVOTED TO EXPLAINING THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE LIMIT STATE DESIGN OF STEEL-CONCRETE COMPOSITE MEMBERS AND, THROUGH WITH LESS DETAILS, TIMBER MEMBERS AND JOINTS.
KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN RULES FOR THE DESIGN BRIDGES STRUCTURES. KNOWLEDGE OF METHODS FOR THE EVALUATION OF INFLUENCE LINES. ABILITY TO REALIZE THE TRANSVERSAL DISTRIBUTION OF VERTICAL LOAD.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
AT THE END OF THE COURSE, THE STUDENT SHOULD DEMONSTRATE A SOUND KNOWLEDGE IN ANALYSING 2D MEMBERS AND DESIGNING STEL-CONCRETE COMPOSITE MEMBERS AND TIMBER ONES.KNOWLEDGE REGARDING HOW TO IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF A BRIDGE STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS.
MAKING JUDGEMENTS
THE ABILITY OF ANALYSING THE RESULTS OF STRESS ANALYSES AND DESIGN OPERATIONS WITH CRITICAL JUDGEMENT IS ONE OF THE KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE.KNOWLEDGE REGARDING HOW TO IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF A BRIDGE STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
WORKING IN GROUP AND EXPLAINING THE KEY ASPECTS OF ADVANCED STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS ARE AMONG THE MOST IMPORTANT EXPECTED COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
LEARNING SKILLS
THE ABILITY OF APPLYING THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE TO COMPLEX STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS, ALSO IN MORE GENERAL SITUATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE ONES EXPLICITLY DISCUSSED IN THE COURSE.
Prerequisites
ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE IN STRUCTURAL MECHANICS IS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES. IN PARTICULAR, THE COURSE OF STRUCTURAL MECHANICS IS REQUIRED AS PREPARATORY.
Contents
THE MODULE FEATURES THE FOLLOWING MAIN SUBJECTS:
DESIGN OF BRIDGES
BRIDGE LOADS ACCORDING TO NTC2008 (SEISMIC ITALIAN CODE) AND EUROCODE 1.(3 HOURS THEORY)
INFLUENCE LINES FOR STATICALLY DETERMINED STRUCTURES. (3 HOURS OF THEORY AND 2 HOURS OF PRACTICAL EXERCITATIONS)
INFLUENCE LINES FOR REDUNDANT STRUCTURES.(8 HOURS OF THEORY AND 5 HOURS OF PRACTICAL EXERCITATIONS)
TRANSVERSAL DISTRIBUTION LOAD.COURBON, ENGESSER AND GUYON - MASSONNET - BAREŠ METHODS. (13 HOURS OF THEORY AND 3 HOURS OF PRACTICAL EXERCITATIONS)
DESIGN OF BRIDGE PIERS.(3 HOURS OF THEORY)
DESIGN OD BRIDGE FOUNDATION.(2 HOURS OF THEORY)
DESIGN OF BRIDGE ABUTMENTS.(3 HOURS OF THEORY)
ARCH BRIDGES (5 HOURS OF THEORY AND 3 HOURS OF PRACTICAL EXERCITATIONS)

SPECIAL STRUCTURES
1. ELASTIC ANALYSIS OF TUBES AND SHELLS (THEORY: 15 HOURS; EXERCISES: 5 HOURS);
2. ELASTIC AND PLASTIC ANALYSIS OF PLATES (THEORY: 8 HOURS; EXERCISES: 2 HOURS);
3. DESIGN OF STEEL-CONCRETE COMPOSITE STRUCTURES (THEORY: 15 HOURS; EXERCISES: 5 HOURS);
4. BASICS IN DESIGN OF TIMBER MEMBERS AND JOINTS (THEORY: 8 HOURS; EXERCISES 2 HOURS).
STRUCTURAL CONCEPTION, STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND MODELING OF BRIDGE STRUCTURES.(5 HOURS THEORY)
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.
9 CFU ARE CONSTITUTED BY THEORY AND 3 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. THE FINAL MARK, WHICH IS EXPRESSED IN 30TH, DEPENDS UPON THE LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING ACHIEVED BY THE STUDENT AND THE CLARITY OF HIS ANSWERS DURING THE EXAMS.
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 JUDGMENT AUTONOMY ACHIEVED.
