Reliability-based structural performance assessment considering polymorphic un-certainties of reused concrete elements (A05)

• Subject Area: Structural Engineering, Building Informatics and Construction Operation ; Applied Mechanics, Statics and Dynamics
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 523205694

The aim of sub-project A05 is to develop concepts for determining and ensuring the reliability of structures made of reused concrete elements. The consistent consideration of uncertainties at the concrete element level and at the structural level in combination with dedicated nonlinear computational models allows to realistically investigate the structural performance during the intended service life. To reduce epistemic uncertainties, suitable measurement strategies for the assessment of the element condition will be derived.
