95842 - STRUCTURAL CONCEPT DESIGN

Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

Al termine del corso, lo studnete conosce le teorie e le metodiche della progettazione strutturale e sa efficacemente integrarle nella definizione del progetto.

Contenuti

The "Structural Concept Design" module focuses on the essential aspect of conceiving robust and efficient structural systems for urban infrastructures. Students engage in analyzing and designing structural elements that can withstand static forces while ensuring safety and functionality in the urban context. This module serves as a crucial foundation for constructing durable and resilient urban landscapes. The contents of the course are listed below.

Structural Design Principles for Architecture

• Loads on Structures
• Forces and Vector Analysis
• Equilibrium
• Catenary cables and arches
• Trusses
• Material properties
• Cross-sectional properties
• Shear and bending stress in simple beams
• Deflection in simple beams
• Buckling in columns

Metodi didattici

The module is organized in a series of theoretical lectures and laboratory sessions with applications and exercises.

The detailed program, deadlines, and methods of presentation of the exercises will be communicated at the opening of the laboratory. The lectures will be accompanied by periodic reviews of the work of students and some collective seminars on the progress of the work.

In the laboratory session simple structural designs will be required to the students to be integrated within the projects of the other modules, ensuring a comprehensive and interdisciplinary learning approach. The instructors will supervise students during their laboratory activities.

Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento

For accessing the final exam the students are requested to complete the structural design project which must be integrated with the other modules.

The final assessment of the module requires the solution of exercises similar to the ones shown in class during the laboratory sessions.

Strumenti a supporto della didattica

The teaching tools are overhead projector, projector and PC.

iPad will be used as whiteboard support tool for extra material details given to students at the end of each class. 

The course includes some laboratory sessions in which examples and problems are solved and analyzed.
