PROGETTO DI STRUTTURE IN ZONA SISMICA

This course aims at giving the theoretical knowledge and the practical capability for the structural design of buildings in seismic zone.

Structural codes

Design of r.c. framed buildings in seismic zone
Organization of the structure. Estimate of seismic action and internal actions on structure. Sizing of structural elements. Model of structure. Basic and combined load conditions. Critical discussion of results of numerical analysis. Design of reinforcement, according to capacity design criterion.
Particular aspects, as the influence of non-structural elements on the global behaviour of the structure.

Design of r.c. buildings with shear walls in seismic zone
R.c. walls located only in the lower storey of the building and their influence on the seismic behaviour of the upper part of the building.
R.c. buildings in which the resistance to seismic action is provided by shear walls.

Design of steel structural in seismic areas

The purpose of this modulus is to provide principles and structural detailing of multi-storey buildings in seismic areas.

It will be focused on particular seismic resistant structures: Moment Resisting Frame MRF and concentric CBF and eccentric EBF frames.

Design of structures in seismic areas protected by isolation o dissipations systems

The purpose of this modulus is to provide principles and structural detailing about innovative seismic protection system with particular attentions on base isolation and dissipative systems.
