Аналізуються головні відмінності між нормами оцінки технічного стану будівель і споруд
та нормами їх проектування, які обумовлені різним рівнем інформованості і ступенем …

Codes of practice aim to assure structures have acceptable risks to the public and the
minimum total costs over the working life of a design. However, current codified criteria for …

The safety assessment of existing structures is a relatively new concept in the sense that it
has not yet reached the level of uniformization and normalization that characterizes, for …

The chapter opens with a discussion on all sources of uncertainty that affect the bridge
structure—first at the design stage and then during its lifetime, after it has been constructed …

Design standards of Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridges are generally based on a
semiprobabilistic format using partial factors to take into account material, geometrical and …

Enhanced knowledge from a qualified survey in situ can help to model the load-bearing
behaviour of an existing structures more realistically by considering specific knowledge on …

The vulnerability of highly populated buildings, such as entertainment arenas, stadiums,
religious buildings, and community centres, has received little attention in the literature …

The probabilistic methods are used in engineering tasks where a computational model
contains uncertainties through the random variables. The paper deals with the new method …

RESUMO A avaliação de estruturas existentes é uma etapa que faz parte do processo de
reabilitação ou do reforço de uma estrutura. Este tema já foi muito discutido e estudado …
