Learning objectives

Knowledge and ability to understand:
Knowledge of the mechanical behavior of structures subjected to fire. Knowledge of the European Standard Codes. Knowledge of the construction details and protection systems.

Skills:
Ability to choose and design the different structural elements of reinforced concrete, steel, masonry and wood.

Making judgments:
The student must be able to design the structural elements and choose the systems of fire protection

Communication skills:
During the course, students must refine their technical dictionary on the topic.

Learning skills:
Students must have the ability to select the most appropriate design choice also evaluating options that are not perfectly identical to those shown during the course.
