Reference texts	R. Baldacci, Scienza delle Costruzioni, Volumi I e II, UTET, Torino. L. Nunziante, L. Gambarotta, A. Tralli, Scienza delle Costruzioni, McGraw-Hill Leone Corradi dell'Acqua - Meccanica delle strutture, Mc Graw Hill M. Capurso, Lezioni di Scienza delle Costruzioni, Pitagora, Bologna.
Educational objectives	Understanding the base principles and concepts of Mechanics aimed to manage the tools needed for structural analysis (design and verifications) of both one-dimensional elements and bi-, tri-dimensional continua.
Prerequisites	In order to be able to understand and apply the majority of the techniques described within the Course, the following knowledge is recommended: Maths: derivation and integration techniques for one-dimensional and bi-dimensional functions; differential equations. Physics and Meccanica Razionale: vector calculus; equilibrium equation both for static and dynamic problems. Geometry: vector spaces and linear operations; matrices and linear operators; linear systems; algebraic curves: conic curves.
Teaching methods	Face-to-face both theoretical and practical classes.
Other information	Attendance to classes: optional but strongly advised.
Learning verification modality	Written test and oral exam.
Extended program	Strain analysis. Stress analysis. Principle of virtual works. Elastic bodies and energy related theorems. Elastic Beams. Energy based methods for systems of beams. Statically indeterminate structures and their solution. Barré de Saint Venant problem: axial force, bending moment, eccentric axial force, shear force and bending moment, torsion. Plasticity and strength criteria. Strength of materials. Safety assessment. Stability of the elastic equilibrium: buckling loads, Euler buckling.
