INFRASTAR Training School. Infrastar training school is coordinated by Université Gustave Eiffel.It originates from the European project Horizon Marie Skłodowska-Curie INFRASTAR (Innovation and Networking for Fatigue and Reliability Analysis of Structures - Training for Assessment of Risk).. The Infrastar training school aims to provide lectures and hands-on trainings to Master and PhD

6.2 Tests for assessment of in-situ quality of reinforced concrete After identification of weak zones in a structure, detailed assessment of the in-situ quality of the material is to be done. A number of tests have been developed and standardized for different properties of concrete. Suitable tests are to be selected based on the aims of testing.

Methods of reliability, risk and safety assessment are increasingly gaining importance as decision support tools in various fields of engineering. The JCSS Continuing Education & Advanced School is intended to be world leading in the field of risk analysis. A deep understanding of the fundamental principles of structural reliability is provided

A researcher experienced in the field of reliability and risk assessment of civil engineering structures (applications of the partial factor method; probabilistic modelling of material and geometrical properties, load effects, model uncertainties, system behaviour). Having good knowledge of English, communicative.

These recommendations have been prepared by the corresponding working group within RILEM TC 287-CCS "Early-age and long-term crack width analysis in RC structures", following work by the previously ceased RILEM TC 254-CMS "Thermal cracking of massive concrete structures".

In this context, the present study focuses on two broad themes; first, treatment of uncertainties and the application of the first-order reliability method (FORM) in finite-element reliability analysis, and second, the seismic risk assessment of reinforced concrete structures for performance states such as, collapse and monetary loss.

Risk and cost trade-offs for polymer composite structures are assessed and demonstrated. The assessment is accomplished by integrating optimization of reliability-based cost concept into the IPACS (Integrated Probabilistic Assessment of Composite Structures) computer code. The op "tnnizafion is

In this tasks the framework described in the JCSS (Joint Committee for Structural Safety) guideline for risk assessment, will be used as basis. The objective is to develop methods for risk-based assessment for bridges and wind turbines , using information from inspections, sensors and condition monitoring , i.e. to apply data from measurements in rational decision making.

In the context of performance-based earthquake engineering, reliability method has been of significant importance in performance and risk assessment of structures or soil-structure interaction (SSI) systems. The finite element (FE) reliability method combines FE analysis with state-of-the-art methods in reliability analysis and has been employed increasingly to estimate the probability of

Apr 20,  · concrete has endured many extreme conditions and shown long term durability [1]. It will remain one of the most important architectural forms for human society in the foreseeable future. However, the serviceability life loss of reinforced concrete structures caused by accidental damage or lack of durability is still a serious problem in the world.

been centred around structural reliability analysis, Bayesian decision analysis, reliability based structural design and assessment, probabilistic modelling of fatigue crack growth, probabilistic modelling of corrosion of concrete structures, risk based inspection and maintenance planning,

6. Risk assessment and societal impact. Research projects concerned with reliability analysis and risk assessment are carried out to provide practical tools for engineers to assess seismic risk to structures for the ultimate purpose of mitigating societal impact.

Quantitative and qualitative assessment of the associated risk is crucial in pre-event planning and post-event response. Risk assessment and management of structural and infrastructure systems (RAMSIS) lab develops and applies probabilistic risk analysis frameworks to various CIs and their components to assess their reliability

concern is the reliability assessment of existing structures. Such assessments call for the use of observations of performance, measurements, and monitoring data to update reliability estimates. This course focuses provides geotechnical practitioners and (graduate) students with the reliability and risk analysis basics, as well as an overview

This relationship obtained by the reliability analysis can be utilized as a useful information in structural design for FRP bar reinforced concrete structures applying RCA concrete. AB - The present study assessed the reliability-based reinforcement ratio of FRP reinforced concrete structure applying recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) concrete.

Probability of failure vs internal pressure is presented for both types of containments. The paper presents a simple method to establish structural reliability of a pre-stressed concrete containment which can be useful for probabilistic safety assessment when considering extreme events that lead to over-pressurisation of the containment.
