Objectives
GENERAL OBJECTIVE
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE SKILLS ON:
- THE DYNAMICS OF SIMPLE AND MULTI-DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM SYSTEMS;
- THE DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDINGS IN SEISMIC ZONES
AND DEEPEN THE KNOWLEDGE ON:
THE 'SEMI-PROBABILISTIC LIMIT STATE METHOD', PARTICULARLY ITS APPLICATION TO THE CASE OF PRESTRESSED REINFORCED CONCRETE AND STEEL STRUCTURES

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
AT THE END OF THE COURSE, THE STUDENT WILL:
- HAVE ASSIMILATED THE IMPARTED NOTIONS AND BE ABLE TO APPLY THEM TO SOLVE CERTAIN TECHNICAL PROBLEMS;
- KNOW THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS;
- HAVE BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE RELEVANT SECTIONS OF THE CURRENT TECHNICAL REGULATIONS ON CONSTRUCTIONS (NTC 2018) REGARDING SEISMIC DESIGN;
- BE ABLE TO CARRY OUT SEISMIC DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDINGS UP TO AN EXECUTIVE LEVEL;
- BE ABLE TO TACKLE THE DESIGN OF STATICALLY DETERMINATE AND INDETERMINATE PRESTRESSED REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS (C.A.P.), BOTH PRE-TENSIONED AND POST-TENSIONED;
- HAVE ACQUIRED A BASIC KNOWLEDGE REGARDING THE DESIGN AND VERIFICATION OF STEEL STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS.

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
-DESIGN A FRAMED REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDING IN A SEISMIC ZONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CURRENT ITALIAN REGULATIONS (NTC 2018);
-DESIGN A POST-TENSIONED PRESTRESSED REINFORCED CONCRETE BRIDGE BEAM WITH A CAST-IN-PLACE REINFORCED CONCRETE SLAB

JUDGMENT AUTONOMY
- THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- DEVELOP CRITICAL REASONING IN SOLVING THE TECHNICAL PROBLEMS PROPOSED DURING THE COURSE;
- EXAMINE PROJECTS RELATED TO REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDINGS IN SEISMIC ZONES AND PRESTRESSED REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS, CARRIED OUT BY ENGINEERS;
- PROVIDE GUIDELINES FOR THE PROPER EXECUTION OF PROJECTS SIMILAR TO THOSE ADDRESSED DURING THE COURSE."

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
-WORK IN TEAM;
-DESIGN REINFORCED CONCRETE AND PRESTRESSED REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES, PROPERLY PREPARING THE CALCULATION REPORT AND THE DRAWINGS OF THE STRUCTURE TO BE EXECUTED."

ABILITY TO LEARN
TO BE ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED TO CASES EVEN DIFFERENT FROM THOSE DISCUSSED DURING THE COURSE, DEEPENING THE COVERED TOPICS BY MAKING USE OF OTHER MATERIALS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED.
Prerequisites
PROPAEDEUTICS: NONE

IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED OBJECTIVES, A SOLID BACKGROUND OF CONCEPTS LEARNED IN THE COURSES OF "STRUCTURAL MECHANICS" AND "STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN" AT THE BACHELOR'S DEGREE IS NEEDED.
Contents
1. RECALLS AND DEEPENINGS ON THE "LIMIT STATES SEMI-PROBABILISTIC DESIGN METHOD" FOR RC MEMBERS (6 HRS)
2. INTRODUCTION TO DYNAMICS OF SINGLE DEGREE OF FREEDOM SYSTEMS AND MULTI-DEGREES OF FREEDOM SYSTEMS (24 HRS)
3. PRESTRESSED REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES (18 HRS).
4. BASICS CONCEPTS OF SEISMOLOGY (2 HRS)
5. ELEMENTS OF SEISMIC ENGINEERING AND CURRENT ITALIAN BUILDING CODE (20 HRS)
6. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF STEEL STRUCTURES (16 HRS)
7. EXERCISE PROJECTS (34 HRS):
- DESIGN OF A STATICALLY DETERMINATE POST-TENSIONED RC BEAM (12 HRS)
- DESIGN OF A REINFORCED CONCRETE FRAMED BUILDING IN SEISMIC AREA (22 HRS)
Teaching Methods
DURING THE SCHEDULED TIME FOR THE COURSE, THEORETICAL LESSONS (ABOUT 85 HRS) AND EXERCISES (35 HRS) WILL BE HELD IN THE CLASSROOM.
ATTENDANCE IS NOT MANDATORY, BUT THE REGULAR ATTENDANCE AT THE COURSE IS ENCOURAGED.

THE EXERCISES MAINLY CONSIST OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF TWO PROJECTS: THE FIRST DEALS WITH A POST-TENSIONED RC BEAM; THE SECOND FOCUSES ON THE SEISMIC DESIGN OF A FRAMED RC BUILDING. IN BOTH CASES THE CURRENT ITALIAN CODE (NTC 2018) WILL BE USED.

BOTH PROJECTS WILL BE DISCUSSED DURING THE EXAM AND WILL HAVE TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY GRAPHIC DRAWINGS.
Verification of learning
THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES WILL BE DONE THROUGH AN ORAL INTERVIEW OF ABOUT 1 HOUR THAT EACH STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP STARTING FROM THE END OF THE COURSE.
THE EXAM MARK WILL DEPEND ON THE MATURITY GAINED ON THE COURSE CONTENT, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE QUALITY OF THE ORAL DISCUSSION, THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE POSTULATES AND BASIC LOGIC OF THE DISCIPLINE, THE CAPABILITY OF SOLVING THE MAIN APPLICATION ISSUES AND ACCURACY DEGREE OF THE TWO PROJECTS DEVELOPED DURING THE COURSE.

IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY PASS THE EXAM (MINIMUM GRADE) THE STUDENT WILL HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE THE CAPABILITY OF PERFORMING THE DESIGN AND THE VERIFICATION OF BOTH PRESTRESSED CONCRETE AND STEEL MEMMBERS (BY FOLLOWING THE CURRENT CODE PROVISIONS). FURTHERMORE, HE WILL HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE A SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE DESIGN OF RC FRAMED BUILDINGS IN SEISMIC AREA.

THE STUDENT WILL ACHIEVE THE MAXIMUM GRADE AT THE END OF A BRILLIANT ORAL PRESENTATION, DURING WHICH HE WILL HAVE DEMONSTRATED TO HAVE A VERY GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THE COVERED TOPICS.

EXCELLENCE WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY WHEN THE STUDENT WILL DEMONSTRATE TO HAVE AN EXCELLENT PREPARATION ON ALL THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE.

THE EXAM GRADE WILL ALSO DEPEND ON THE WAY IN WHICH THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE TWO PROJECTS CARRIED OUT DURING THE COURSE.

More Information
THE COURSE PROVIDES THE STUDENTS WITH THE BASICS OF STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS AND ILLUSTRATES THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE LIMIT STATE DESIGN OF: REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDINGS IN SEISMIC AREA; PRESTRESSED REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS; STEEL MEMBERS.

THE EXERCISES DEAL WITH THE DEVELOPMENTS OF TWO PROJECTS: A POST-TENSIONED CONCRETE BEAM; A FRAMED RC BUILDING TO BE DESIGNED IN SEISMIC AREA (IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THIS SECOND PROJECT, STUDENTS WILL LEARN THE USE OF A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR THE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS).
IN BOTH CASES THE CURRENT ITALIAN CODE (NTC 2018) WILL BE USED.

AFTER PASSING THE FINAL EXAM, THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO DESIGN AND VERIFY STATICALLY DETERMINATE AND INDETERMINATE RC STRUCTURES, ALSO SUBJECTED TO SEISMIC ACTIONS. IN ADDITION, HE WILL BE ABLE TO DESIGN PRE-TENSIONED AND POST-TENSIONED RC BEAMS AND STEEL MEMBERS.
