Rome,Italy,18-25September,2017

• BACKGROUNDNonlinear analysis methods are in the core of modern engineering, while future design codes willrecommend such analysis methods as standard practice. Understanding the basic algorithms andrequirements for the proper modeling of different structural systems is essential, while the robust andaccurate modeling requires a good grasp of the fundamentals. The course intents to provide the basicframework of nonlinear methods in civil engineering, while applications on buildings, bridges andstructuresofthechemicalindustrywillbepresented.• OBJECTIVESOFTHECOURSEThemainobjectiveofthiscourseistofamiliarizestudentswiththestate-of-the-artinnonlinearstaticanddynamicanalysisofstructures.Attheendofthecourse,studentsshouldbeableto:
