Assessment Methods

Verification of learning:

Final written exam with questions and exercises regarding the first (steel) and second (reinforced concrete structures) part.

First semester

Objectives

The course aims to provide students with the ability to carry out the preliminary design of a structure, and with the basic concepts to design simple steel structures including bracings, and reinforced concrete elements such as slabs, beams, columns and footings. The course includes some information relating to details and structural measures to be applied in the seismic area.

Contents

The structural design process; three dimensional behaviour of the structures; load calculations; steel structures; comparison among different structural materials; the theory of reinforced concrete applied to the cases of slabs, beams, columns and footings. Bases of soil mechanics. Structural details in seismic areas.
