Original Abstract

The paper presents the application of methodology for the assessment of reliability and structural load bearing capacity using advanced methods of probabilistic FEM analysis in combination with mathematical modelling of degradation processes of concrete and reinforcement. The durability, serviceability and ultimate limit states are assessed. The authors deal with the validation of load bearing capacity of the bridge on the 3rd class road built in the 1st quarter of 20th century in the Czech Republic. Regarding the reliability requirements according to Standards and, considering the current state of the structure, the actual value of load bearing capacity is assessed. By reason of the time-consuming FEM analyses the stratified Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) method is used for generation of input random variables.
