Scienza delle costruzioni

Luciano Rosati

La Scienza delle Costruzioni è la disciplina che si occupa di formulare modelli teorici ed interpretare risultati sperimentali in grado di descrivere il comportamento statico e dinamico di materiali ed elementi resistenti di strutture soggetti ad azioni di natura meccanica e termica, sia stazionarie che variabili nel tempo. Pertanto, sulla base di principi generali di meccanica del continuo e di ipotesi suffragate daevidenze sperimentali, la Scienza delle Costruzioni si prefigge di formulare approcci metodologici ederivare procedure – analitiche, numeriche e sperimentali – in grado di modellare il comportamento reale di materiali e di elementi strutturali, quantificandone il grado di sicurezza nei confronti delle azioni applicate. In tal senso la disciplina coniuga e sintetizza principi e metodi che caratterizzano la Meccanicadei Continui, dei Solidi, delle Strutture e la Resistenza dei Materiali, trovando applicazione non solonei settori tradizionali dell’Ingegneria ma anche in quelli più avanzati della Biologia e della Biomeccanica. In tale ambito il corso illustra i fondamenti teorici e gli aspetti applicativi della Meccanica delle Strutture, con specifico riferimento al calcolo di strutture monodimensionali in campo elasticolineare isotropo. Sono altresì descritti gli strumenti e le procedure utili per eseguire le verifiche distrutture 1D piane e spaziali.

Construction Science is the subject that formulates theoretical models and interprets the results of experiments to describe the static and dynamic behaviour of resistant elements and materials in structures exposed to steady or variable mechanical stress or heat. Based on the general principles of continuum mechanics and hypotheses drawn from experimental evidence, Construction Science sets out to formulate methodological approaches and set down procedures - analytical, numerical and experimental - that can model the real behaviour of structural materials and elements and measure how safe they are in relation to the forces applied. In this sense, the subject brings together and synthesises the principles of Continuum Mechanics, Solid Mechanics, Structural Mechanics, and Resistance of Materials, and can be applied not only in traditional sectors like Engineering, but also in more advanced areas of Biology and Biomechanics. Tools and procedures useful for testing these 1D structures are also introduced.
