| Contents | The Course gives knowledge on the analysis and the retrofitting of existing structures, with particular reference to masonry structures. |
| Reference texts | Lecture notes provided by the teacher. |
| Educational objectives | Aim of the course is to provide knowledge on the type of damage, the analysis methods and the retrofitting techniques of existing strutures. |
| Prerequisites | In order to be able to understand and apply the majority of the techniques described within the course the following basic knowledge is mandatory: - elements of Rational Mechanics (vector calculus, dynamical equilibrium); - elements of Strength of Materials (strangth criteria, continuum mechanics); - elements of Design of Structures (design of reinforced concrete and steel structural elements). |
| Teaching methods | Face to face lessons and practical training |
| Learning verification modality | The oral exam consists of a discussion, no longer than fortyfive minutes, aimed at evaluating: the level of knowledge on the topics of the course (first Dublin descriptor), the skill of applying techniques for the assessment of existing structures and the retrofit intervention techniques (second Dublin descriptor), the ability of judgement of the choice of the best retrofitting intervention (third Dublin descriptor), the communication skill (forth Dublin descriptor). |
| Extended program | Characterization of bricks and mortar, mechanical properties of masonry, check of safety; Characterization of seismic action, damage due to earthquake, seismic analysis methods; Existing structures: codes provisions, levels of knowledge analysis and verification; Retrofitting techniques for foundations, masonry walls and columns, slabs, vaults and domes; Analysis and retrofitting of reinforced concrete structures. |
