CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishThe vast majority of collapses, that produce only economic losses and do not need any scientific research, remains unknown either to the academics and engineers. In this way, the errors that may happen in common engineering practice, that sometimes are quite trivial, are not discussed by the technical community. In this paper two case studies are discussed, the collapse of a modern steel shed and of a retaining wall undermined in recent years, showing that collapses may be caused not only by unexpected and unknown phenomena but also by misunderstandings of the basic concepts of Structural Analysis and Structural Design. This gives way to the academics for discussing the contents and the teaching format of their courses.

| Abstract: | The vast majority of collapses, that produce only economic losses and do not need any scientific research, remains unknown either to the academics and engineers. In this way, the errors that may happen in common engineering practice, that sometimes are quite trivial, are not discussed by the technical community. In this paper two case studies are discussed, the collapse of a modern steel shed and of a retaining wall undermined in recent years, showing that collapses may be caused not only by unexpected and unknown phenomena but also by misunderstandings of the basic concepts of Structural Analysis and Structural Design. This gives way to the academics for discussing the contents and the teaching format of their courses. |
