LESSON 01
INTRODUCTION
Michele Palermo “ADVANCED STRUCTURAL DESIGN”

REQUIREMENTS & PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
• Basic concepts of structural mechanics (theory of elasticity,

constitutive models,…) and structural analysis (beams, truss).
These concepts are typically provided in the course of Advanced
Structural Mechanics
• Fluent spoken and written English is a necessary pre-requisite: all

lectures, presentations and all study material will be in English.

ADVANCED STRUCTURAL DESIGN
• 88317 Structural Design I.C. -12 CFU-
– Advanced Structural Design -9 CFU- (Prof. Palermo)
– Design Projects A -3CFU- (Prof. Foglieri) => no grade

ASSESSMENT METHOD / VERIFICATION

Advanced Structural Design (9CFU)
• Homeworks and exercises are assigned typically every

weeks and then checked by the Tutor of the course (Dr.
Vittoria Laghi) during dedicated laboratory lectures
(typically on Friday)
• Assessment will be given according to a final written test

and an oral exam.
-Written test (compulsory): practical skills of the
student in solving exercises related to design and
verification of members and simple structures
-Oral exam (elective): questions covering all
theoretical aspects of the course 4
Course program
PART 1: Fundamental issues of structural design
• General concepts and main codes

• Conceptual design of structures
• Structural systems for steel structures
• Actions and Loads
• Basic concepts of structural reliability
• Review of structural analysis methods for simple structural systems
(trusses, beams, portal frames,…)
Course program
PART 2: Steel structures
• Structural steel: main properties

• Serviceability limit states
• Ultimate limit states: design strengths
• Global Buckling of members and structures
• Local buckling
• Welded connections
• Bolted connections
• Joints (beam-beam, beam-column, braces, foundations,…)
Course program
PART 3: Fundamentals of Reinforced concrete structures
• Reinforced concrete: main properties

• Design for axial and bending

Codes
Codes
“A structural design code can be viewed as a predictive

tool, in the sense that the designer, having followed the
requirements of the code, would expect the resulting
structure to be sufficiently safe and serviceable
during the period of its expected life.” (R. Melchers
1999)
• Structural safety requirements

• Serviceability requirements
• Robustness w.r.t. accidental loads
• Costs are also important
