A. Course Objectives

The students should obtain knowledge of theoretical fundamentals and of practical design methods, in order to determinate the state of stresses and strains in structural elements used in civil engineering.

The students will learn all the tools to analyze, from strength and rigidity point of view, bar elements (beams, columns) subjected to simple actions, in the elastic and plastic domain.

B. COURSE TOPICS

1. Introduction 1 hours

2. Displacements; Strains; Unit Stresses; Diagrams of Stresses 4 hours

3. The Stress-Strain Diagrams; Hook’s Law; Design Methods 3 hours

4. Axial Tension and Compression 5 hours

5. Direct Shear; Connections of Steel Elements 3 hours

6. Uniaxial (Straight) Bending with Shearing; Equation of the Deflected fiber 7 hours

7. Plastic Analysis for bars subjected to Bending 2 hours

8. Biaxial (Oblique) Bending with Shearing 3 hours
C. APPLICATION TOPICS

1. Geometrical Sectorial Characteristics of the Cross Section 4 hours

2. Diagrams of stresses 6 hours

3. Axial Tension and Compression; Connections 6 hours

4. Uniaxial Bending and Shearing 6 hours

5. Biaxial Bending with Shearing 6 hours


D. EDUCATIONAL METHODS EMPLOYED

• 
  Course: lecturing, conversation, explication, demonstration
  
• 
  Practical works: explication, example, problematisation
  

E. Evaluation procedure

Final exam, composed of two theoretical subjects answered in written (1 hour) and 2 problems solved in written (2 hours): 66% of the final grade

Homeworks and in-class evaluations during the term: 34% of the final grade
