Probabilistic Model for Masonry Strength of Existing Structures

Original language description

In the Czech Republic numerous existing structures are made of different types of masonry. Due to inherent variability of masonry, information on its mechanical properties has to be obtained from tests. Estimation of masonry strength from measurements may be one of key issues in the assessment of existing structures. The standard technique provided in the Eurocode EN 1996-1-1 is used to develop the probabilistic model of masonry strength taking into account uncertainties in basic variables. In a numerical example characteristic and design values of the masonry strength derived using principles of the Eurocode are compared with corresponding fractiles of a proposed probabilistic model. It appears that the characteristic value based on the probabilisticmodel is lower than that obtained by the standard technique and the partial factor for masonry recommended in EN 1996-1-1 is rather conservative.
