Probabilistische Bewertung von Stahlbetonbauteilen unter Naturbrandbeanspruchung

Abstract

Nowadays the usage of performance based methods in the fire safety design of special buildings (e. g, theatres, convention centres,...) is rising steadily. In these cases the quantification of a safety level is only possible with a full probabilistic concept. This article shows a procedure for probabilistic design and introduces the required methods. The example of a concrete column is used to explain the combination of numerical methods for structural design, natural fire curves and reliability methods. © 2008 Ernst & Sohn Verlag für Architektur und technische Wissenschaften GmbH & Co.
