On the project

The proposed project is focused on systematic development of all aspects and methods needed for efficient probabilistic life-cycle assessment in bridge structural engineering based on stochastic nonlinear computational mechanics. The need to work effectively with time demanding computational models at stochastic level is the main motivation of the project. Methods in substituting the initial expensive model by a simpler model, fast to evaluate, are needed. The metamodelling methods will be therefore developed based on polynomial chaos expansion and artificial neural networks within the framework of the project. Project results will contribute to the development and application of advance techniques for complex fully probabilistic assessment of concrete bridges considering uncertainties. Importance of the project is expected mainly in utilization of multi-fidelity modelling concept, verification and application of developed methods for complex problems in structural concrete bridge engineering.
