- Diagnostic process in the path from the expression of static instability, to the determination of the causes that led to failure. Works to ensure pre-earthquake and post-earthquake safety.
Brief notes to the strengthening and restoration of historical building and monumental heritage. - Reference texts
- Mastrodicasa Sisto - Dissesti statici delle strutture edilizie – Ed. Hoepli
Theaching material is available online su unistudium: for example the slides that the teacher uses during the lessons. - Educational objectives
- To provide the tools needed to trace the causes that have caused damage in building structures, through a diagnostic procedure. Ability to evaluate possible intervention strategies.
- Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge on structures, as mechanical testing of materials and monitoring with particular reference to the characterization of masonry, are required
- Teaching methods
- Lessons in classroom and educational visits on site for cases of study and on laboratory.
- Other information
- Students with disabilities and/or with DSA, can contact the teacher of this course directly because she is the reference for disability and DSA in Engineering Department.
- Learning verification modality
- Oral exam lasting 30-45 minutes, concerning the topics covered in the lessons.
The completeness of the answer, the argumentative rigor and the ownership of language will be assessed. - Extended program
- Diagnostic process in the path from the manifestation of static damages, to the determination of the perturbative causes which produced such damage. Key events of static and dynamic instability. Typical damage pattern of masonry structures: foundation failure, crushing, flexion, pushing and seismic action, depression of horizontal structures. Engineering approach to the study of damage to masonry structures. Diagnostic process in the path from the expression of static instability, to the determination of the causes that led to these failures. Works to ensure pre-earthquake and post-earthquake safety.
