This course introduces students to the analysis and design of building structures and to the concept of structural safety and prepares students to analyze and design structural elements and systems according to the Italian and European standard. The course starts with the analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel structures culminating in the consideration of building systems design. The quantitative understanding of interior forces and bending moments, stresses, and deformations are an integral part of the learning process throughout the course. Moreover the capacity design approach, is applied to the design of a plane frame.
Students are expected to have completed all prerequisites consisting in the principles of statics, rigid body equilibrium and Mechanics of Materials.

The course provides students with the tools to identify and understand the structural functioning of existing buildings while placing themselves in a perspective of optimization in terms of conservative restoration. It also provides the tools for optimizing the choice of the most suitable structural system, according to the architectural complexity of new buildings in a sustainable and innovative key.
