The aim of the course is to provide the student with the theoretical knowledge and application skills needed for the design of steel and concrete structures. First, a geometric model will be defined to represent the structure. Second, the internal forces will be determined. Finally, the cross-section of the members will be verified.
The aim of the course is to provide the technical knowledge and skills necessary to perform a structural design of reinforced concrete and steel buildings. The first part of the course will be dedicated to the physic and mechanical characterization of the materials (concrete and steel): the main constitutive laws, currently employed in the practice, will be introduced. In the second part of the course, the training activities will be focused on the identification of the geometric and static schemes of the structures; the definition of the external actions (structural and non-structural gravity loads), the numerical analyses to evaluate the internal forces on the elements (slabs,beams and columns ). Finally, the procedures to assess the structural safety will be applied on structural assemblages and entire multi-story frames.
