Learning Objectives
The aim of the lectures is to introduce basic physical concepts and afterwards to quantify their influence in some common problems where fluids and buildings interact each other. Therefore, any argument is substantially divided in a preliminary mathematical introduction followed by some exemplary applications.
The objectives of the course are listed below.
Knowledge and understanding of mathematical methods and numerical tools for solving problems typical of civil and environmental engineering. Knowledge of the laws that rule the professional activity.
Applying knowledge and understanding.
Application of the acquired knowledge to real problems (both in design and in control), in order to manage hydraulic problems given by the interaction between rainfall, ground mechanics, buildings, etc.. This can be made using shareware software and homemade ones. We also want to define the competences that rule the managing/design/maintenance of public and private works, having in mind the interaction with other professional actors such as architects, geologists, contractors. The analysis of the costs is required.
Making judgements.
Capacity in managing complex problems that involve the interaction between natural phenomena and buildings. It requires the use of data (say rainfalls, urban rules, building codes). A main objective is to take into account the temporal possible evolution of the numerous variables of the problem. As an example, the costs and benefits analysis of the reutilization of the rainfall waters.
Communication skills.
Capacity of work in a team. Ability in managing the processes that starting from the data lead to the solution of the problem selecting the best choice (in terms of costs/benefits).
Learning skills. The objective is to give the necessary basis for the comprehension of the arguments and also to give supplementary information (such as textbooks, laws, scientific papers) in order to enlarge the cultural background of the students.

The aim of the lectures is to introduce some preliminary physical concepts and afterwards to quantify their influence in some common problems where fluids and buildings interact each other. Therefore, any argument of the course is substantially divided in a first mathematical introduction followed by some exemplary applications.
