Course programme

Argomento da modificare
Structural design procedures require the comparison of load effects with resistances.

  • In order to evaluate load effects, it is necessary to define: actions and their significant values, limit states and combinations of actions.
  • In order to evaluate the resistance of RC members sections, it is necessary to define: concrete properties, reinforcing steel properties, concrete-reinforcement bonding properties and hypotheses ruling the behaviour of RC sections at serviceability and ultimate limit states.

Course entry requirements

Structural Mechanics courses: "Scienza delle Costruzioni A" and "Scienza delle Costruzioni B" - The courses "Tecnica delle Costruzioni A" and "Tecnica delle Costruzioni B" are complementary.

Testing and exams

Two written checks (1 during the course and 1 at the end of the course) or, if failed, one written test at the end of the course. Sufficient evaluation in written tests allows to take the oral test. The final grade is the average of written and oral tests grades.
