Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:The course enables the students to acquire the theoretical and practical basis of the Hydraulic useful for the knowledge of the sewer collection and water distribution systems, moreover it allows to analyze and solve the problems of the design of the internal waterworks and rainwater collection. The course also allows students to face advanced themes about the recent-market demands and the research development of the hydraulic design in the buildings
CAPACITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:To the aim of facing applicative themes of great complexity and to pay attention on the new design ways, the student will have to acquire capabilities for the critical resolution of engineering design phases. Such capabilities will be expressed through specific abilities like as the ability to identify and analyze the main characteristics of the system defined in a probabilistic way (rain and discharge); the ability to find the more suitable hydraulic model necessary to analyze the specific problem and to design the hydraulic systems of a building
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:The implementation of exercise works, made alone or in a group, about solving practical problems on Hydraulic Engineering in a building, will increase the degree of independence in terms of the critical choice, the communication ability and will allow to mix the multidisciplinary abilities.
Program
Frontal lecture (classroom, 60 hours)
Part I: Generalities on fluids and basic principles of hydrostatics. The static thrust of a fluid on planar/non-planar surfaces. Fluid kinematics and dynamics. Momentum equation. Continuity equation. The Bernoulli Theorem. Pressure channel flow. Overview of open-channel flow.
Part II: Overview and design of urban sewer collection and water distribution systems. Hydrological cycle. Rainwater statistical analysis. Maximum flowrate evaluation methods. Design of sanitary sewer and of internal waterworks for civil buildings. Overview of wastewater engineering treatment disposal. Rainwater harvesting and reuse for environmental-friendly buildings.
Exercise works (classroom or in laboratory, 12 hours)
Problems of design and control of hydraulic plants. Define of the main charatteristics of an hydraulic system (rain, flowrate). Example of the design of sanitary sewer and of internal waterworks for civil buildings. Design of sewer collection systems.
Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODSThe exam consists in an oral test and in the discussion of the exercise work that the candidate presents for the exam.
The oral test consists in some questions requested to the candidate about the topics of the course.
The exercise work consists in resolving some applying practices about the topics of the course, proposed during the lessons and individually carried out by the candidate or by a group of a maximum of three students.The topic of the exercise work is the design of the internal waterworks for a civil building (if carried out by a single candidate) and the design of rainwater collection system, harvesting and reuse of the same civil building (if carried out by a group).
LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIAthe positive result of the exam is proved if the candidate shows, by means of the previously described tests, to have the capabilities for the critical resolution of engineering design phases and to have well understood the topics proposed during the lessons and to be able to apply autonomously the methods and the procedures used for the exercise work.
LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIAAssignment of the final grade in thirtiethes.
FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIAthe candidate reaches a positive final evaluation if he obtains at least the pass grade for both the oral test and the exercise work and in describing the applyied methods. Maximum evaluation is reached when the candidate shows a deep and complete knowledge of the topics of the course. The praise is reserved to those candidates that carry out oral test and exercise work exactly and completely and that distinguish themselves for them special excellence both for the oral presentation and for the editing of their exercise work.
