Sousa, Hélder S.; Sørensen, John D.; Kirkegaard, Poul H.; Branco, Jorge M.; Lourenço, Paulo B.The objective of this paper is to address the possibilities of using non-destructive testing (NDT) data for updating information and obtaining adequate characterization of the reliability level of existing timber structures and, also, for assessing the evolution in time of performance of these structures when exposed to deterioration. By improving the knowledge upon the mechanical properties of timber, better a...
Reliability based robustness of timber structures through NDT data updating
Sousa, Hélder S.; Sorensen, John D.; Kirkegaard, Poul H.; Lourenço, Paulo B.; Branco, Jorge M.This work presents a framework for reliability-based assessment of timber structures / members using data gathered from non-destructive test results. These results are used for modeling an update of the mechanical characteristics of timber, using Bayesian methods. These methods are suitable to be used for parameter estimation and also allow updating model uncertainties. From the updated model, decisions upon th...
