STRUCTURAL DESIGN WORKSHOP

Course objectives

STRUCTURAL DESIGN STUDIO The course provides the conceptual and analytical tools for the prediction and interpretation of the behaviour of structures. It also provides the elements of performance requirements verification according to modern limit-state design codes. During the course of the semester the students work in small teams to develop a complete structural design project.

Course program
Structural materials: concrete and steel. Structural safety and performance requirements. Actions on constructions: dead loads, live loads, earthquake, wind, snow, temperature, exceptional actions. Reinforced concrete structures: structural analysis, safety verifications, ultimate limit states (axial force, bending, shear, torsion), serviceability limit states, details. Steel structures: ultimate limit states (tension, compression, bending, shear, torsion), element stability, serviceability limit states, bolted joints, welding joints. Outline on structural design in seismic prone areas. Structural design of a residential building (structural analysis, loads, verifications of slabs, beams, piers, foundations).
Prerequisites
In order to understand the teaching content and to achieve the learning objectives, it is essential that the student has acquired knowledge of the contents of the Structural Mechanics and Construction Science courses, and in particular the following topics: 1. Static of isostatic elastic beams and determination of the stress characteristics, such as cutting, bending moment, torsion, any normal stress; 2. Moments of inertia of geometric figures; 3. Technical theory of the beam at De Saint Venant.
