1 DESIGN CONCEPT AND APPROACH TO NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF STEEL STRUCTURES - Structural types that lend themselves to the use of steel and specific design problems. - Design concept of the structural scheme in relation to the variation of the building height. - Design philosophies of steel structures (simplicity, symmetry, load paths, continuity). - Multi-level analysis and modeling. - Specific vulnerabilities. 2. GLOBAL PLASTIC BEHAVIOR OF STEEL STRUCTURES - Semi-rigid nodes, modeling in elastic field. - Plasticity at material, section and structure level. - Instability in linear and non-linear elastic field. - Semi-rigid nodes, modeling in elastic-plastic field. 3. GLOBAL STRUCTURAL MODELING OF STEEL STRUCTURES - Numerical modeling in elasto-plastic field of steel structures. - Push-over analysis. - Limit analysis. 4. MODELING AND DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL STEEL CONNECTIONS FOR DUCTILE AND/OR DISSIPATIVE BEHAVIOR - Morphology and verification of complex steel connections - Hierarchy of strengths Connection-structural element - Ductility design of steel connections - Dissipation and damping induced by connections - Detail modeling of connections 5. SPECIFIC DESIGN PROBLEMS - Design in Seismic zone for steel. - Structural Strength of Steel Buildings. - Behavior and Design of steel structures under the action of Wind. - Optimization. 6. SETTING AND REVISIONS OF THE PROJECT ELABORATION - Conceptual Design - Pre-dimensioning - Vibration analysis of floor - Calculation of acting loads and their combinations (including earthquake and wind) - Performance-Based of structural members - Design optimization - Technical drawings

Blended modality (in-person and distance learning), using whiteboard and, to a lesser extent, slides.

In -presence, both for lectures and project advancement meetings

The examination consists of an oral test on the theoretical aspects at the base of the analysis and design of steel structures and in the presentation and discussion of the structural project and calculation report of a medium-high building that the Student agrees with the Teacher and develops from the elements provided during the lessons and the exercises. Numerical evaluations may be developed (at the student's option) using ANSYS, SAP2000, STRAUS7, ABAQUS computational codes
