Remarks to the Complex Modelling of Concrete Structures: From Experiment to Reliability Assesment

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper describes a summary of the complex approach to evaluation of quasi-brittle structures/structural members made of (advanced) cement based composites. It reviews chosen aspects and results of nonlinear stochastic analysis of structural members made of these composites and inserts them into the complex methodology. Application example illustrates the methodology.
