Probability and Sensitivity Analysis of Plate

Abstract:

This paper deals with some problems of the ceiling plate, made of the Cobiax-system. Cobiax provides a system to produce voided, biaxial, flat plate slabs as a high-quality concrete solution for large spans and slim slabs. Plastic voids in the shape of spheres or flattened spheres are contained in steel cages and put into concrete structures to create longer spans and reduce vertical loads. The presented plate is made of cobiax balls with a diameter of 27 cm located outside the area of columns. Probability analysis of Monte-Carlo method in Ansys is presented. Input parameters are changing according to Gauss or triangular distribution.
