Inference on stiffness and strength of existing chestnut timber elements using Hierarchical Bayesian Probability Networks (2015)
Journal Article

The assessment of the mechanical properties of existing timber elements could benefit from the use of probabilistic information gathered at different scales. In this work, Bayesian Probabilistic Networks are used to hierarchically model the results o...

Probabilistic analysis of degradation of façade claddings using Markov chain models (2015)
Journal Article

In this study, the time-dependent stochastic degradation of three types of claddings is analysed. For this purpose, 203 fac¸ades with stone claddings(directly adhered to the substrate), 195 with adhered ceramic claddings and 220 with painted surfaces...

Probabilistic transition of condition: render facades (2015)
Journal Article

The service life of cement-rendered facades is closely related to the environmental conditions that they are exposed to. The probability distribution is determined for the degradation condition of render facades considering different environmental ex...

Bayesian assessment of an existing bridge - a case study (2015)
Journal Article

This article presents a case study involving the assessment of an existing bridge, starting with simple methods and ending with a probabilistic analysis, the latter emphasising Bayesian methods. When assessing an existing bridge, it is common practic... Read More about Bayesian assessment of an existing bridge - a case study.
