Objectives
OVERALL OBJECTIVE:
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE NECESSARY TOOLS TO LEARN THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF THE MECHANICS OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS FOR STRUCTURAL USE THEIR APPLICATIONS TO REAL CASES.

KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION SKILLS:
THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE SKILLS IN APPROACHING THE VARIOUS DESIGN AREAS INVOLVING THE USE OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS FOR STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT.

CAPACITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO USE DESIGN APPROACHES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF TYPICAL STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING PROBLEMS USING COMPOSITE MATERIALS.

AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO FORMULATE, ACCORDING TO DESIGN APPROACHES APPROPRIATE TO THE SCALE OF THE ENGINEERING PROBLEM UNDER INVESTIGATION, MODELS TO SIMULATE THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS REINFORCED WITH COMPOSITE MATERIALS.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO CONDENSE THE CONCEPT, APPROACH, ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM USING COMPOSITE MATERIALS INTO A TECHNICAL PAPER.

LEARNING SKILLS:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO STRUCTURAL SITUATIONS THAT DIFFER FROM THOSE EXAMINED DURING THE COURSE IN TERMS OF MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS AND STRUCTURAL TYPES.
Prerequisites
IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED OBJECTIVES, A SOLID BACKGROUND OF CONCEPTS RELATED TO STRUCTURAL MECHANICS AND STRUCTURAL DESIGN IS ENCOURAGED.
Contents
1) COMPOSITE MATERIALS. CLASSIFICATION OF FRP STRENGTHENING SYSTEMS. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF FRP STRENGTHENING SYSTEMS. TYPES OF FIBERS. TYPES OF MATRICES. CONSTITUIVE RELAZIONS. PRE-CURED SYSTEMS. PRE-IMPREGNATED SYSTEMS. MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES. FAILURE CRITERIA.
(LESSONS: 8H - CLASSROOM/LABORATORY EXERCISES: 4H)

2) BASIS OF DESIGN FOR FRP STRENGTHENING. BASIC REQUIREMENTS. DURABILITY REQUIREMENTS. GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF THE STRENGTHENING DESIGN. PARTIAL FACTORS. SPECIAL DESIGN PROBLEMS AND RELEVANT CONVERSION FACTORS. STRENGTHENING LIMITATIONS IN CASE OF FIRE.
(LESSONS: 8H - CLASSROOM/LABORATORY EXERCISES: 2H)

3) STRENGTHENING OF REINFORCED AND PRESTRESSED CONCRETE STRUCTURE. DEBONDING MECHANISMS. FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING. SHEAR STRENGTHENING. SHEAR STRENGTHENING. CONFINEMENT. FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE MEMBERS. DESIGN FOR SEISMIC APPLICATIONS. INSTALLATION, MONITORING, AND QUALITY CONTROL. NUMERICAL EXAMPLES.
(LESSONS: 16 - CLASSROOM/LABORATORY EXERCISES: 16)


4) STRUCTURAL USE OF MODIFIED CONCRETE WITH THE ADDITION OF METALLIC OR PLASTIC FIBERS. EXPERIMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION. PREDICTIVE MODELS OF THE CONSTITUTIVE BEHAVIOR. ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS.
(LESSONS: 4H - CLASSROOM/LABORATORY EXERCISES: 2H)
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE COVERS THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL LESSONS FOR A TOTAL OF 60 HOURS. THEORETICAL LESSONS ARE 60% OF THE TOTAL. THE REMAINING 40% DEALS WITH NUMERICAL EXERCISES AND LABORATORY ACTIVITIES.
ATTENDANCE IS NOT MANDATORY, BUT THE REGULAR ATTENDANCE AT THE COURSE IS ENCOURAGED.
Verification of learning
THE FINAL TEST CONSISTS OF AN ORAL INTERVIEW.
THE ORAL INTERVIEW (1HRS) COVERS THE THEORETICAL AND APPLICATION ASPECTS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE AND IS ADDRESSED TO ALSO VERIFY THE FOLLOWING: METODHOLOGICAL AND EXPLANATORY RIGOR, LANGUAGE PROPERTY AND SUMMARIZING CAPABILITY.
THE MAXIMUM GRADE IS ACHIEVED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES TO BE ABLE TO CORRECTLY ILLUSTRATE AND DISCUSS ALL THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE.
THE MINIMUM GRADE IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN A STUDENT DEMONSTRATES TO HAVE A LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE.
THE EXCELLENCE REQUIRES THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE MAXIMUM GRADE IN COURSE TOPICS.
