Robustness Assessment Based on Pseudo-Static Full Probabilistic Approach

Abstract:

Accordance with a new EN 1992 the robustness of the structural systems must be analyzed. When applying proposed new strategy, it has been verified that the structure has sufficient redundancy and possibility to mobilize so-called alternate load path (AP-method). Paper presents a modified complex method for robustness estimation in case of the RC-structural systems. Proposed pseudo-static method based on the energy-saving approach. Paper also presents a full probabilistic pseudo-static nonlinear method which was developed for structural robustness assessment, taking into account the statistical variability of the materials properties and, as a consequence, parameters of the plastic hinges and possible failure modes.
