STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES

Code A001154
CFU 6
Teacher Marco Breccolotti
Teachers
  • Marco Breccolotti
Hours
  • 54 ore - Marco Breccolotti
Language of instruction Italian
Contents The module consists of one teaching unit and related exercises. The teaching unit will deal with the structural design of steel structures. The classroom exercises will apply the theoretical concepts seen during the theoretical lecture hours to simple structural problems.
Reference texts Ballio, G., Bernuzzi, G., Progettare costruzioni in acciaio, Hoepli
Ballio, G., Mazzolani, F.M., Strutture in acciaio, Hoepli
Radogna, E. F., Tecnica delle Costruzioni", Vol. 1, Zanichelli
Educational objectives The module aims at providing the theoretical and normative references for the use in industrial and civil constructions of structural steel.
Prerequisites In order to be able to understand and apply the majority of the techniques described within the Course, you must have successfully passed the Structural Mechanics and Strength of Materials exam.
Teaching methods The module is organized as follows:
- frontal lesson on all the topics of the program;
- classroom exercise;
- visits at manufactures of steel structures and construction sites (if possible).
Other information Additional information materials will be provided through the university's teaching platform.
Learning verification modality The exam includes a written test and an oral test.
The written test consists in performing two numerical exercises. The first concerns the steel structures and may be relevant to the verification/design of element/structural system and its bolted or welded connections. The second exercise is instead relevant to reinforced concrete structures and may be relevant to the verification/design of element/structural system.
The oral exam is a discussion lasting about 45 minutes aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge and understanding achieved by students on the theoretical and methodological implications listed in the teaching program. This trial will also test the ability of communication of the student and of autonomous organization of the exposure on the theoretical topics.
Extended program The module consists of one teaching unit and related exercises.

Teaching Unit: Structural steel (40 hours)
Steel structures: materials, method of calculation; resistance checks, stability checks, practical rules for the design and execution; legislation.

Exercises (14 hours)
Examples of design and verification of individual structural elements of simple structural systems (frames, portals) and joints.

Contents The module consists of two teaching units. The first teaching unit deals with the topic of structural safety, with reference also to the current regulations on the subject. The second unit deals with the structural design of reinforced concrete structures. Classroom exercises are also planned to apply the theoretical concepts seen during the theoretical lecture hours to simple structural problems.

Educational objectives The module aims at providing the theoretical and normative references for the use in industrial and civil constructions of structural concrete.

Teaching methods The module is organized as follows:
- frontal lesson on all the topics of the program;
- classroom exercises;
- visits in precast factories and construction sites (if possible).
Other information Additional information materials will be provided through the university's teaching platform.
Learning verification modality The exam includes a written test and an oral test.

The first concerns the steel structures and may be relevant to the verification/design of element/structural system and its bolted or welded connections.

This trial will also test the ability of communication of the student and of autonomous organization of the exposure on the theoretical topics.
Extended program The module consists of two teaching units and related exercises:
Teaching unit I: Theoretical Fundamentals (15 hours)
The methodology of structural design. Structural reliability. Types and Patterns of actions and materials. Eurocodes and Italian legislation.
The measure of security in terms of forces, components of stress, tension.

Teaching Unit II: Reinforced concrete structures (30 hours)
Constructions made of structural concrete: materials, method of calculation; resistance checks, stability checks, practical rules for the design and execution; legislation.

Exercises (9 hours)
Examples of design and verification of individual structural elements and simple structural systems (frames, portals).
