The Course aims at providing to the attending students the basic knowledge about modern design techniques of masonry and wooden structures. Linear and nonlinear modelling and analysis techniques and guidelines for the safety assessment of such constructions are deeply presented, with constant reference to modern probabilistic approaches for safety and reliability of structures. Specific attention to the explanation of actual National and International codes for the design of masonry and wooden - such as Eurocodes and Italian Standards for Constructions (actual D.M.14.01.2008 and further developments) is finally provided.
