21010037 - STRUCTURAL DESIGN STUDIO 2M

Setting up and developing the project of the structures, starting from the needs and objectives of the project, up to evaluating the alternatives in terms of impact and sustainability: aesthetic, functional, economic and safety. Insights into the behavior and verification of structural elements and structures as a whole, including foundations, with reference to the actions, including seismic action, and the required performance also with reference to current legislation. Interaction of structural design with other design aspects, as the design should involve all aspects. Qualitative and quantitative evaluation from the conception to the development of the project and to the realization of the work.

Programme

In relation to the third semester of the LM in Architectural Design, the educational offer is divided into four integrated laboratories, two per channel, respectively of Structural Design 2M (SSD: ICAR09) and Architectural Design 2M (SSD: ICAR14). The integration of the two laboratories consists in sharing a project which in the definitions of the National Technical Regulations on public works is divided into: Feasibility Study, Preliminary, Definitive and Executive Project, and which here, for simplicity, is defined as first and second phase . The first phase is the one associated with: Feasibility Study - Preliminary Project - Definitive Project, in a not very developed phase, and Second Phase: Definitive Project, in a more advanced version, and Executive, in a less advanced version than described in the National Technical Regulations, for example without arriving at formulating the specifications and the estimated metric calculations, but also defining in some detail the elements that make up the project, as well as providing the supporting technical report, both of the choices and of the evaluation of the solicitations and relative security check.
The aspects that lead to a sustainable work also from the structural point of view will be discussed jointly between the two disciplines, in order to arrive at a solution that, in addition to vertical loads, also allows adequate behavior against seismic action. Possibly a significant portion of the project will be identified which, fully developed in the 2M architectural design laboratory, can also be developed in the 2m structural design laboratory up to the more advanced stages envisaged in the latter course. The implications of possible alternative choices will be assessed together, both by adopting typical more traditional structural solutions and of a more advanced and innovative type, such as for example the seismic isolation at the base.
The main choices relating to the structural types are then identified, in relation to possible materials to be used in the structure. The alternatives in the choices of horizontals will be discussed, in the resistant system both in relation to the intended use and the architectural configuration, taking into account the design actions to be considered, which also depend on the location of the work. The models to be used for the verification of the project will be identified, even with the knowledge of structural softwares. The verification of the representative model will allow, during the development of the project, to compare possible local solutions, checking the implications that the choices involve also at the level of architectural construction details.
The structural tables will be developed up to a rather advanced level of executive detail, to understand the construction and site difficulties that inevitably condition the choices also at an architectural level. It will be possible to carry out sustainability assessments, albeit limited to structural choices, in particular with regard to the aspects of consumption of raw materials and CO2 emissions.

Type of delivery of the course

The course includes theoretical and practical lessons, as well as the carrying out of a structure project. The theoretical lessons will essentially focus under design seismic actions in Italy and in Europe. Specific exercises will be assigned to deepen specific aspects. The project essentially takes its cue from that carried out by the students in the 2M architectural design laboratory. It provides for the development of the illustrative tables and the related report, including calculations. The project, developed independently by the students, usually in groups of two or three persons, will be reviewed weekly and discussed publicly in the classroom. In the event of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented. In particular, the following methods will apply: the course will be done electronically on the TEAMS platform with scheduled delivery and revisions of the tables and the project report, via Onedrive or Wetransfer

Attendance

The students will have to participate and attend the course as foreseen for the didactic laboratories, the frequencies will be checked as necessary.

Type of evaluation

Design and verification of a RC structure. Complete structural drawings. Technical report. Oral exam with theoretical questions and discussion of the project carried out during the course. The exam will be done electronically on the TEAMS platform with preliminary delivery, at least 24 hours before, of the tables and the project report, via Onedrive or Wetransfer In the event of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented.
