Educational objectives With reference to the Dublin Descriptor 1 - knowledge and under standing, the learning outcomes, expected and verified in the tests, are related to knowledge of the mechanical behavior of solids and structures in linear elastic range. In the written test, the main skill acquired (applying knowledge and under standing - Dublin Descriptor 2) are realtive to solving hyperstatic structures, calculation of displacements, analysis of the stress and strain for beams subject normal force, bending moment, torque, shear. The outcomes will also be checked, with reference to the Dublin Descriptors 3 and 4,in the oral test. As regards the calendar of the exams: http://www.ing1.unipg.it/didattica/studiare/34-calendario-appelli-esam
Prerequisites Calculus: derivatives, integrals, functions of several variables, total and partial differential equations.
Geometry - Algebra: vector analysis, matrix analysis, surfaces.
Physics - Theoretical Mechanics: cinamatiche sizes, static equilibrium equations.
Teaching methods Theoretical lessons and practical training

Learning verification modality The examination consists of two tests: a written test and an oral test.
The written exam consists of three questions: 1) resolution of a hyperstatic structure, 2) verification of beam section, 3) variable topic (beam bending, measurement displacements, analysis of stress, analysis of strain, etc.).
As part of this test will be assessed the knowledge and skills of the candidate's application (Dublin Descriptors 1 and 2) in the context both of structural mechanics that of solid mechanics. The duration of the test is about three hours.
The oral exam will focus on the entire program of the course. Please note that in the oral exam it is possible to require the solution of structures (applicative exercises) (statically indeterminate structures, internal forces in beams, etc.). In this context will check the autonomy and capabilities - command of the language (Dublin Descriptors 3 and 4). If the oral examination should be insufficient, the candidate must repeat the written test for admission.
The topics of education, that will be verified during the tests, are of great interest in the formation of a engineer oriented to the analysis, design and management of civil construction and civil infrastructure.
