Assistant / Associate Professor in Structures

Principal responsibilities include teaching undergraduate courses in Architecture. Candidates must have a potential or demonstrated commitment to teaching excellence, scholarly research and publication in peer-reviewed journals, and academic engagement. The Course's general objective is to provide the basic tools to deal with static analysis of a structure. It aims to lead the student to a first level of understanding of the behavior of the different structural typologies to motivate their choice within the project.Ability to teach structural skills necessary in the architectural scenario, among the following main topics:loads: the mechanical concept of vector, the concept of force, the concept of torque, the concentrated load, the distributed load, and the load density;vector operations and invariant operations;the structural models: the material point, the rigid body, the three-hinged arch and the articulated body;the laws of classical mechanics; the equilibrium of the material point;flat rigid displacements;constraints;the kinematics of the rigid body;the equilibrium of the rigid body in the plane: conditions of determinate, indeterminate and impossible equilibrium;the cardinal equations of equilibrium statics;the reduced postulate of internal pressures and tensions;constraint reactions and internal actions;the equilibrium of rigid articulated systems: the calculation of the equilibrium of flat articulated systems composed of rigid rods in isostatic conditions: the three-hinged arch and the closed ring, the concept of partial equation;constraint reactions and internal actions.
