Processes in concrete during fire
Paper deals with hydro-thermal performance of concrete exposed to a fire. It is introduced mathematical model, numerical approach and some results provided by the model.
Polynomial chaos in evaluating failure probability: A comparative study
Recent developments in the field of stochastic mechanics and particularly regarding the stochastic finite element method allow to model uncertain behaviours for more complex engineering structures. In reliability analysis, polynomial chaos expansion is a useful tool because it helps to avoid thousands of time-consuming finite element model simulations for structures with uncertain parameters. The aim of this paper is to review and compare available techniques for both the construction of polynomial...
