The main objective of the subject of Theory of Structures and Industrial Constructions is to provide the student with the basic knowledge for the analysis and design of structural elements and systems more frequent in industrial constructions. To do this, the structural typologies and the most common elements in the industrial buildings will be identified. In addition, different tools will be studied for their analysis and design. The students will be also introduced in the management of the current regulations, and in particular the standars for structures made of steel and reinforced concrete, respectively.
It is, therefore, a subject that will provide fundamental knowledge for the professional exercise of the graduate in mechanical engineering. In fact, knowledge and ability to calculate and design structures and industrial constructions is one of the competencies that, according to Ministerial Order CIN / 351/2009, of February 9, must be acquired in the official degrees which, as in this case, qualify for the exercise of the Industrial Technical Engineer profession.
