Original Abstract

The paper describes a complex methodology for statistical and reliability analyses of fibre concrete structures. It describes a virtual simulation to be used all the way from the assessment of experimental results to reliability analysis. The approach is based on a randomization of nonlinear fracture mechanics finite element analysis of concrete structures. Theoretical as well as practical application aspect are presented emphasizing the conceptual framework and key points of the solution. Efficient techniques using both nonlinear numerical analysis of concrete structures and stochastic simulation methods of the Monte Carlo type have been combined in order to offer an advanced tool for assessment of the realistic behaviour of concrete structures from the statistical and reliability points of views. In order to use appropriate parameters of material laws in the computational model, an inverse analysis bysed on experimental results has to be performed.
