CODE 80574 ACADEMIC YEAR 2016/2017 CREDITS 5 cfu anno 2 INGEGNERIA CIVILE E AMBIENTALE 9263 (LM-23) - 5 cfu anno 2 INGEGNERIA CIVILE E AMBIENTALE 9263 (LM-35) - SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ICAR/09 LANGUAGE Italiano TEACHING LOCATION SEMESTER 2° Semester OVERVIEW Students acquire mastery in the calculation of the structures to wind actions and sensitivity to recognize the structures sensitive to aeroelastic instability phenomena. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The course provides the fundamentals and the operative techniques of wind engineering with special regard for wind actions and effects on structures. LEARNING OUTCOMES (FURTHER INFO) Knowledge of the fundamentals of Structural dynamics is required. TEACHING METHODS The course consists of lectures during which theoretical, experimental, and numerical applications are illustrated, with examples related to real structures. The students develop, in small working groups, an assisted project report related to a real structure. SYLLABUS/CONTENT 1. Introduction to wind engineering. 2. Wind: Atmospheric circulation. Mean velocity. Turbulence. Probabilistic analysis and climatology. Mesoscale phenomena. 3. Aerodynamics: Bluff-body aerodynamics. Internal fluxes. Pedestrian comfort. Wind tunnels. CFD. 4. Dynamics: Alongwind response. 3D response of slender structures. 3D response of buildings. Wind-induced response to thunderstorms. 5. Aeroelasticity: Vortex shedding and lock-in. Alongwind wind-structure interaction. Crosswind galloping. Torsional instability. 3D aeroelasticity of slender structures. Flutter. 6. Conclusions and perspectives.
