Bayesian assessment of the compressive strength of structural masonry
The application of hierarchical models for assessing the compressive strength of structural masonry is investigated. Based on current codified models the distribution of compressive strengths within an ensemble of masonry wall specimens is related to the statistical properties of the populations of brick units and mortar used. The parameters of this relation are calibrated with test data acquired at ETH Zürich. This approach allows for heterogeneous material modeling, consistent uncertainty management and optimal information processing. Costly compression tests of full-size masonry and inexpensive tests of brick and mortar samples are jointly utilized for learning about the masonry wall characteristics. ; Non UBC ; Unreviewed ; This collection contains the proceedings of ICASP12, the 12th International Conference on Applications of Statistics and Probability in Civil Engineering held in Vancouver, Canada on July 12-15, 2015. Abstracts were peer-reviewed and authors of accepted abstracts were invited to submit full papers. Also full papers were peer reviewed.
