Università Roma Tre

Steel and reinforced concrete structures is a course included in the second year of the first level degree in civil engineering. The course aims at providing the students with the fundamental knowledge and tools to understand the behaviour of steel and reinforced concrete structures, assess their safety level with respect to Ultimate and Serviceability Limit States, and design simple structural assemblies.
At the end of the course, the students will be able to: 1) assess the safety level of structures according to the Limit State Method, using the format and with reference to the performance target levels recommended by Italian building code and Eurocodes; 2) identify the load patterns to assume in calculations and checks; 3) design and assess the performance of steel and reinforced concrete structures including connections and structural details, with specific respect to resistance ultimate limit states, and 4) produce design drawings.
