The MD “Structural and Geotechnical Engineering” aims to train experts in the design and realization of load-bearing structures of civil works and the analysis of related geotechnical problems. The fields of application of the master graduate are various, among all: residential and service buildings, industrial buildings and plants, road and railway infrastructures, hydraulic works, large sports facilities, maritime both coastal and offshore structures, shallow and deep foundations, retaining structures, embankments in loose materials, underground constructions. The importance of fully guaranteeing the safety of the works mentioned above, the wide diffusion of many of them, as well as the ever-increasing relevance and attention to seismic issues and the other natural and anthropic risks, with the related need for detailed risk prediction for the design, consolidation and repair of the existing built heritage create for the master graduate a very wide and articulated field of intervention. In the courses, therefore, scientific bases as well as both traditional and innovative techniques will be provided, for addressing the sector specific challenges.

Specific learning objectives are aimed at the formation of a successful cultural and professional figure, characterized by a solid basic culture, a good culture in the fundamental application subjects and a more thorough culture in specific application and professional areas of Civil Engineering. The master graduate will be a conscious and critical professional figure, endowed with the necessary theoretical-scientific background, qualified to set up, carry out and manage even complex design activities, with strong planning and operational/management skills.

The curriculum is essentially divided into 9 ECTS modules.
