EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES AND SKILLS TO BE ACQUIRED

THE COURSE IS AIMED AT THE LEARNING OF SPECIALIZED TOPICS COMPLEMENTARY TO THE FUNDAMENTALS OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING, RELATING TO PARTICULAR STRUCTURAL TYPES AND CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THE COURSE CONSISTS OF TWO MAIN SECTIONS. THE FIRST ONE 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. HE SECOND SECTION IS DEVOTED TO PRESENTING ANALYTICAL AND SEMI-ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR ELASTIC ANALYSIS OF 2D MEMBERS (I.E. PLATES, PLATES ON GRADE, TUBES).

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.

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.

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.

	Contents
	THE MODULE FEATURES THE FOLLOWING MAIN SUBJECTS: 1. DESIGN OF STEEL-CONCRETE COMPOSITE STRUCTURES (THEORY: 15 HOURS; EXERCISES: 10 HOURS); 2. BASICS IN DESIGN OF TIMBER MEMBERS AND JOINTS (THEORY: 10 HOURS; EXERCISES 5 HOURS). 3. ELASTIC ANALYSIS OF TUBES AND SHELLS (THEORY: 10 HOURS; EXERCISES: 5 HOURS); 4. TECHNICAL VISITS AND SEMINARS (5 HOURS).

	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. 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.
