Learning outcomes
Topics of structural mechanics, important for the practice are introduced to complete the background of the architect.
Course contents
1. Solution of plane frames.
Frames with fixed nodes. Frames with unfixed nodes. Symmetric and
asymmetric frames. Mixed method of resolution. Virtual work
principle.
2. Membranes and
vaults.
Membranes of revolution. Thin vaults. Static analysis.
3. Grid beam
system.
Plane grid beam system: at simple layer, at double layer and at
folded layer. Grid beam system at simple curvature and at double
curvature. The statics: classical method and the analogy with the
continuum structures.
4. Introduction to finite element methods for structural problems.

Teaching methods
The course consists of lectures and guided activities. The guided activities consist in the design, verification and executive drown of simple structures.
Assessment methods
A series of revisions of the activities of Laboratory will take place in itinere, at the end each student will be admitted to the final oral examination.
