Civil Engineering

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide students with the fundamental principles of
law of public works through the study of the due process of realization
of public works, from planning through to testing of the work. The
course is thus based on the study of the application of the contracts
code (Legislative Decree no. 163/2006) and the implementing Regulation
(DPR 207/2010). They also provided ideas on the Consolidated
Construction (DPR 380/2001), the Consolidated Law of Expropriation for
public utilities (DPR 327/2001) and the Consolidated Law on Security
(Legislative Decree no. 81/2008 ).

Educational objectives

The course provides training in the use of GNSS systems for the acquisition and processing of coordinate time series, including filtering techniques and statistical analysis. Students will acquire skills in the processing of digital cartographic data, the management of territorial data through GIS, and the use of photogrammetric and UAV-based LiDAR systems for terrain and infrastructure modeling. The program also includes the analysis of data from radar and optical remote sensing sensors, both terrestrial and satellite-based, with particular attention to the critical interpretation of results. Laboratory activities take place in the Geodesy and Geomatics laboratory, which is already equipped with the necessary instruments. Numerical exercises require a computer lab equipped with basic calculation and graphic software (Excel, MATLAB, AutoCAD, Surfer, Revit), open-source solutions such as QGIS, and academic licenses for specialized software dedicated to the various applications covered in the course.

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide students with an integrated understanding of project management in civil engineering, with particular attention to methodological, regulatory, technical and organizational aspects. By the end of the course, students will have acquired knowledge of the life cycle of civil works, project planning and control, the roles and tools of project management, and the main regulatory references concerning construction, design of public works, construction products, maintenance and risk management. The course also aims to develop the ability to apply this knowledge to the analysis and management of complex design problems.

Educational objectives

The main aim of the course is the improvement of the student’s
knowledge into the field of mechanical behaviour of both granular and
clayey soils. In detail, the main objectives of the course are the
following: i) improve the knowledge of experimental techniques in
laboratory and in situ for soil mechanics characterization ii) improve
the knowledge of mechanical behaviour of soil through the study of
advanced constitutive models appropriate to describe the main aspects
of soil features; iii) increase the student’s capability to set up soil
geotechnical models to solve different classes of boundary values
problems.At the end of the course the student will acquire the following
ability: i) carried out an experimental program to define the
mechanical properties of soils, elaborate and interpret test results;
ii) select the adequate constitutive model to solve specific boundary
values problems; iii) set up geotechnical soil model to approach
different categories of boundary values problems.

Educational objectives

The course is devoted to illustrate the mechanical behavior of rock masses with the aim to: a) design a plan of investigations; b) carry out the mechanical characterization of rock masses; c) identify the instability mechanisms of rock slopes; d) analyse the stability conditions of slopes; e) plan the design of stabilization measures.
Specific skills. At the end of the course successful students acquire the ability to independently handle the complexity of geotechnical problems. In addition, for the recognition of instability phenomena and for the choice of methods and models of stability analyses, students have to make technical choices having reduced information, which is typically encountered in geotechnical problems. Finally, for the design of stabilization measures, students have to take responsibility for making technical decisions.
Since the required engineering project is based on real cases, students have to turn complex reality into possible models. Then students are called to: define the gaps of information provided in the real case, identify additional requests for improving knowledge, independently address any further studies intended for his/her learning.

Educational objectives

This course presents the theory and application of discretization methods, with particular attention to the finite element method for analyzing structural components and systems. The formulations for a variety of finite elements in one, two, and three dimensions are presented. The modeling and analysis of structures using planar, solid, and plate elements is covered. Implementations of element formulations will be examined using Matlab. The finite element analysis program FEAP will be used for analysis of structural problems.

Educational objectives

Starting from the theory of curved beam we introduce the concept of curvature and study its utility from
the mechanical point of view. Starting from plane elasticity we study how a two-dimensional structure (yet
plane) differs from a one-dimensional structure. We end up with the general model of Koiter for shells,
structures which are both curved and two-dimensional.

Educational objectives

To learn the design criteria of bridge structures and the underlying
theoretical aspects, starting from fundamentals of structural statics,
dynamics, structural mechanics and design.

Educational objectives

Structural Design

General Missions:

Using design examples to highlight the need to tackle the solution of structural problems with methodological rigor based also on specific insights and the comparison between the adoptable solutions.

Stimulate the need for comparison with colleagues and the need that third parties validate the adopted solutions. To favor a collaborative approach for 1) the development of a solution and 2) for the integration of independent solutions.

Specific Missions:

Teach the basis of the design and verification for a) Reinforced Concrete Structures b) Pre-Stressed Reinforced Concrete Structures c) Steel-Concrete Composite Constructions

To deepen themes related to the conceptualization of structural modeling assisted by numerical modeling

Stimulate the critical reading of technical regulations and the need for their integration, harmonizing them in the light of a single reference standard

Educational objectives

Structural Dynamics
The course aims to provide students with basic and advanced elements of
dynamics of structures, and with the tools to understand and solve
problems occurring in the practice of structural engineering. To this
aim, it is divided into a first part which covers the basics of the
analysis of the dynamic response of structural systems, and a second
part, in which specific advanced issues are dealt with in detail. Among
them: the random dynamics, the modeling of dynamic actions (in
particular, seismic and wind actions), the control of vibration, the
structural health monitoring, and the nonlinear dynamics.Students must acquire the ability to analyze the dynamic response of
structural systems, and mastery of the equations and parameters that
govern the phenomena. They must also acquire the basic elements for an
autonomous treatment of advanced dynamic problems.
