ADVANCED STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
(objectives)
The course of “Advanced Structural Analysis” is part of the master's degree program in Civil Engineering for Natural Risk Mitigation, which aims to train a civil engineer with high professional qualifications concerning the hydrogeological and seismic risk mitigation. As part of the Master degree program, the course of “Advanced Structural Analysis” aims to provide students with specific theoretical and analytical tools, in order to complement the knowledge acquired in previous structural engineering courses. Prestressed concrete, steel and steel-concrete composite structures, including the static behavior of framed structures, special structures, such as discontinuity regions, R.C. walls and bracing elements, will be analyzed. At the end of the course, students will acquire the necessary skills to 1) critically analyze the static behavior of reinforced concrete (normal and prestressed), steel and steel-concrete composite frame structures, including the design of the main elements, both with reference to current National Technical Code and the Eurocodes, 2) designing special structures such as discontinuity regions and R.C. walls, 3) dealing with problems concerning the behavior of three-dimensional structures under horizontal loads and the design of bracing elements.
