Probability Model of the Compressive Strength of Bricks Based on the Bayesian Inference

Abstract:

The compressive strength of bricks used in masonry structures is difficult to deterministically evaluate because of its uncertain nature. It is realistic to model the strength in a probability manner. Compressive tests for bricks were conducted, and then a probability model of the strength was proposed through the Bayesian inference and based on the test results. The model appropriately represented the uncertainty inherent in the brick strength, and can be used to draw characteristic strength values for structural design or assessment.
