SIMULATION-BASED RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT OF TIMBER STRUCTURES

Abstract eng:
Current European standards are based on the semi-probabilistic approach to structural reliability assessment representing by Partial Factors Design (PFD). The developments in computer technology allows for considering a transition to application of higher level of assessment (fully probabilistic methods). One of these methods is SBRA (Simulation-based Reliability Assessment method) documented in publication [1] and [2]. The subject of this paper is a demostration of the potential of SBRA assessment of the reliability of timber components and joints using an example of timber beam.
