Design of Structure structures is a course included in the third year of the first level degree in civil engineering. The course aims at providing the students with the fundamental knowledge and tools to design reinforced concrete frame structures, including stairs and floors and assess their safety level with respect to Ultimate and Serviceability Limit States.
At the end of the course, the students will be able to: 1) perform the structural analysis of reinforced concrete frame structures also by beans of computational tools; 2) identify the load patterns to assume in calculations and checks; 3) design and assess the performance of reinforced concrete frame structures including floors and stairs, with respect to ultimate and serviceability limit states, and 4) produce design drawings.

Programme
Identification of the primary structures of a building and consequent preliminary design choices. Identification of the static schemes for the calculation of stresses in structural elements and their design: the design of beams and columns (types, preliminary sizing criteria, load analysis, reinforcement calculation), the design of the staircase, the calculation of foundations (footings and inverted beams).Validation of structural calculations.

LectureType of evaluation
During the course, the student will be required to participate in a series of in-class exercises aimed at providing the tools for designing a reinforced concrete building, which will be the subject of the project work that each student will have to complete either in groups or individually. To be eligible for the exam, the student must have completed the project and submitted it to the teacher one week before the oral exam. The exam consists of an individual oral test, which includes a discussion of the submitted project and the theoretical topics covered during the lessons. To pass the exam, the student must demonstrate a good understanding of the fundamental concepts discussed during the course and show that they have assimilated the techniques used in the completion of the project work
