Reference texts
Pozzati, P. : "Teoria e tecnica delle strutture", Vol. 2°, Parte 2a, UTET
Oberti, G. "Corso di Tecnica delle Costruzioni, Parte C, Levrotto e Bella. Doebelin, E. O.: "Measurement Systems: Application and Design".
Educational objectives
Acquire the ability to carry out tests on existing structures and to evaluate the obtained results.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of materials and structural mechanics.
Teaching methods
Face to face training
Other information
Basic knowledge on structural dynamics, even if they are not mandatory, ma easier the study of the subject.
Learning verification modality
The exam is composed of an oral eamination.
It consists of a discussion around 30 minutes long aimed at verifying the level of knowledge of the theoretical- methodological contents of the course with special reference to the design of experimental tests on structures and to the interpretation of the obtained results.
Extended program
Fundamentals of measurement, dimensional analysis, error theory, metrologic characteristics of measuring instruments, random errors, dynamic behaviour of instruments, instruments for measuring displacements , velocity and acceleration. Tests on scale models.
