Course teached as: B026423 - COSTRUZIONI FORESTALI Second Cycle Degree in FOREST SYSTEMS SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGIES Curriculum INGEGNERIA FORESTALE
Teaching Language
Italian
Course Content
Vector analysis. Geometry of the masses. Static. Stress Analysis. Notes on the characteristics of the structural elements. Building materials. Elements of construction techniques.
Slides projected during the lessons and lecture notes.
Learning Objectives
The aim of the course is to provide students with basic knowledge on the stress of structures, on the science of construction and on the characteristics and use of building materials. Methodologies for the design of small buildings in non-seismic areas will be applied, using the appropriate tools for the graphic rendering of a project.
During the course, software for structural verification and Autocad will be used.
Type of Assessment
Intermediate tests and final oral examination. Acquisition of Badges from the Moodle platform.
Intermediate tests are counted for final vote.
Intermediate tests remain valid in the following academic years.
Evaluation criteria: in written tests with open questions or carrying out calculations, the unsuccessful answer and the wrong answer are considered in the same way; the oral exam takes into account: argumentative rigor, completeness, originality, language properties.
