Validation of the harmonized partial factor method for design and assessment of concrete structures as proposed for fib model code 2020 Universiteit Gent
When considering the assessment of concrete structures, a consistent approach to assess the safety level of existing structures in an objective and well-founded way is currently still lacking in practice. As such, fib TG3.1 has developed proposals for the quantification of adjusted partial factors for the assessment of existing structures and has harmonized these proposals with partial factors for design. This resulted in a set of equations and ...
