Design of Structures

Design of Structures

Progetto di Strutture

The course introduces the student to problems of designing structures in no seismic zone. In particular, several aspects concerning reinforced concrete structures will be examined in depth. According to the teaching approach the student will develop a design of a small R.C. structure, applying the concepts acquired during the lessons.
