The course foresees that students will have already successfully followed the courses on Structural Mechanics and Structural Engineering.

The course aims not only at providing students with knowledge and tools for an accurate modelling of the nonlinear response of existing RC structures subjected to seismic action, but also at introducing the principal seismic assessment methods and retrofitting techniques used for this type of structures.

The course is structured in six main parts, listed below. In addition, during the course the students will also be asked to undertake a design project in which an existing building will first need to be seismically assessed and then retrofitted through one or more proposed interventions.
- Notes on modelling challenges and issues
- Nonlinear behaviour of RC structures
- Nonlinear dynamic analysis (time-history)
- Nonlinear static analysis (pushover)
- Seismic assessment of existing RC structures
- Seismic retrofitting of existing RC structures

A course project is compulsory and its progress will be monitored throughout the course; at the end of the latter, the project undertaken by the students will be assessed through a discussion of both the results obtained as well as the procedure adopted. The final exam will be oral and available only to those students who will have successfully completed and delivered the course project.
