Stochastic Analysis of Historical Masonry Structures

conference paper

English

The aim of this paper is to show the possibilities of FEM modelling and probabilistic assessment procedures applied for problems of historical structures. It will be demonstrated that above mentioned tools supported by detailed material testing and investigation should give us information on the accurate prediction of the actual safety level of the structure and enable us to choose the optimal way of reconstruction and preservation. The differences between deterministic and stochastic procedures are demonstrated on parametric studies. The suggested approach tech-nique is also applied to the analysis of the one of the most famous historical structure in the Czech Republic Náměšť nad Oslavou Bridge.
