Courses taught in English and shared across different Master's Degree Programs (Structural and Construction Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering and Master's Degree Course in Construction Engineering - Architecture E.U.)
| Hydraulic and Harbour infrastructures (CEAR-01/B Hydrology and Hydraulic and Maritime Structures) Prof. Marcello DI RISIO |
90 hours 9CFU |
Second Semester | Course description and specific educational objectives The course contributes to the achievement of some of the educational objectives of the master program. Specifically, the course aims to provide skills related to: (1) advanced design of hydraulic structure at different scales; (2) risk assessment and effects of natural events, such as floods; and (3) design and management of hydraulic infrastructure systems. In addition, the course contributes to some of the intended learning outcomes of the program. Specifically, upon completion of the teaching, students will be (1) capable of coming up with original ideas and developing and solving complex engineering problems in hydraulics; (2) able to design major hydraulic structures; (3) able to assess the risk associated with floods; and (4) able to have autonomy in making decisions in the implementation phases of hydraulic infrastructure.

| Construction Site Management (CEAR-08/B Production and Management of Built Environment) Prof. Marianna ROTILIO |
90 hours 9CFU |
First Semester | Course description and specific educational objectives The purpose of the course is to provide students with basic knowledge in management of safety at the construction sites by addressing the different stages of organization and execution in view of integrated management of the construction process. The student will be formed on specific issues related to risk management, to integrated safety and to the risk contexts. The main goal of the course is, therefore, to provide procedures and tools that allow for a systematic control of the use of the available human and economic resources, so that the best choices can be taken. The course also aims to deepen the issues related to the management of safety at the construction site through the analysis of the various procedural steps that contribute to the realization of a work, risk management, the responsibilities of the subjects involved in the construction activity, the assessment of the necessary human and material resources, the organization of safety and accident analysis and prevention seen as a fundamental element of the construction process, from design through production, to the management of the buildings.

| Building Information Modelling (CEAR-10/A Drawing) Prof. Stefano BRUSAPORCI Prof. Pamela MAIEZZA |
90 hours 9CFU |
First Semester | Course description and specific educational objectives The aim of the course is to introduce the student to the informative parametric modeling of both buildings and civil infrastructure works. On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to use the BIM methodology for building and infrastructure process management. This course provides students with the ability to use digital BIM tools for application in the design, construction and management of civil infrastructure. Learning Outcomes At the completion of the course the student will have: - an in-depth knowledge of the characteristics and the potential that BIM offers; - the necessary skills to create a disciplinary BIM model (architectural, structural and plant engineering) and manage coordination between the different disciplines of both construction and civil infrastructure works; - the tools to use the BIM approach in the different phases of the building process (design, construction site, maintenance of the work, etc.).

| Timber Engineering (CEAR-07/A Structural Analysis and Design) Prof. Massimo FRAGIACOMO Prof. Martina SCIOMENTA |
90 hours 9CFU |
First Semester | Course description and specific educational objectives The objectives of the course are to provide the student with methodologies to carry out advanced structural design of domestic, office and industrial buildings made of timber, with regards also to the safety against earthquakes. The course contributes towards learning outcomes such as the capacity of the student to apply his/her knowledge, currently or previously gained, to the structural design and analysis of important civil and industrial buildings. The course will further develop the student’s communication skill, both written and oral, and improve his/her communication ability using both graphical tools and information technology. At the successful completion of the course, the student will: have solid knowledge of the mechanical properties of timber as structural material, and of the advantages and disadvantage with respect to the other construction materials such as concrete and steel; understand the implications of the anisotropy, heterogeneity, and different mechanical properties of the material on the structural design of timber members, with reference to both ultimate and serviceability limit state verifications; know how to transfer gravity loads and lateral loads including earthquake to the foundation in single- and multi-storey timber buildings; know how to design the structural members and connections in accordance to the modern design codes such as the Eurocode 5; demonstrate capacity for reading and understanding other texts on related topics, exploiting the set of knowledge and abilities to solve problems in a larger variety of contexts.
