The objective of the paper is to present methods and software for the efficient statistical,
sensitivity and reliability assessment of engineering problems. Attention is given to small …

Based on a micro-structural finite-element model using computer-tomography scans at
micrometer length-scale, damage due to frost within hardened cement paste (HCP) is …

In the paper the experiment results of deformation in foundation slab segment in interaction
with subsoil are presented. Pilot measurement is carried out on original subsoil with …

In recent years, post-installed anchors are widely used to connect structural members and to
fix appliances to load-bearing elements. A bonded anchor typically denotes a threaded bar …

Recent analytical studies have highlighted the existence of a failure-mode transition zone
within which nominally identical test specimens may experience variability in failure mode …

Les budgets alloués aux réparations des ouvrages et du patrimoine bâti ont atteint un
niveau important. Une démarche scientifique est donc réfléchie pour réduire ces budgets …

Housing is one of the basic requirements for human survival. Masonry is an inevitable
component of housing. Among different types of masonries, brick masonry is one of the most …

To solve spectral stochastic finite element problems, the collocation-based spectral
stochastic finite element method (SSFEM) was developed, and the Stochastic Response …

The evaluation of reinforced concrete structures behavior is doted of uncertainty as
parameters, like used materials and geometry, are not deterministic. This article presents …

Part of the reliability of numerical models for the description of localized failure in quasi-
brittle materials strongly depends on the correct identification of the model parameters …
