Knowledge
The student will learn to solve systems of beams under the action of loads, thermal effects, defects in assembly, constraint settlements. He will be able to calculate the axial load, shear stresses, bending moments and torque, displacements and rotations of the generic section of a beam belonging to a structural system.
The student will learn to perform the assessment of resistance in a given point af a continuum body. He will learn to solve the problem of the stability of columns.
The student will be able to carry out the ultimate and serviceability verifications of beams.

Syllabus
The course has the objective of providing the basic concepts of the equilibrium of structural systems of beams. The concepts of strain and stress in a continuum body, subject to small deformations, are given.
The De Saint Venant problem of the beam subjected to tension and compression, bending, shear and torsion is treated. The course covers also the topics of the elastic line and of the statically indeterminate beams. Other topics are the assessment of the resistance and the stability of beams.
