Probability calibration of load duration modification factor for timber roofs in the Polish mountain zones

The resistance parameters of timber structures decrease with time. It depends on the type of load and timber classes. Strength reduction effects, referred to as creep-rupture effects, due to long term loading at high stress ratio levels are known for many materials. Timber materials are highly affected by this reduction in strength with duration of load. Characteristic values of load duration and load duration factors are calibrated by means of using probabilistic methods. Three damage accumulation models are considered, that is Gerhard [1] model, Barret, Foschi[2] and Foshi Yao [3] models. The reliability is estimated by means of using representative short- and long-term limit states. Time variant reliability aspects are taken into account using a simple representative limit state with time variant strength and simulation of whole life time load processes. The parameters in these models are fitted by the Maximum Likelihood Methods using the data relevant for Polish structural timber. Based on Polish snow data over 45 years from mountain zone in: Zakopane – Tatra, Świeradów – Karkonosze, Lesko – Bieszczady, the snow load process parameters have been estimated. The reliability is evaluated using representative short – and long –term limit states, load duration factor kmod is obtained using the probabilistic model.

Reinforced concrete piles employed in earth retaining systems are typically designed with symmetric reinforcement. The non-symmetric RC wall piles have recently been introduced by the authors, obtaining savings of up to 50% in weight in longitudinal reinforcing steel compared with the traditional solutions, leading to significant financial savings while also reducing associated environmental impacts. The structural behavior of this new RC member under long-term loading is studied, comparing it with its symmetrical counterpart. An experimental campaign has been carried out. Full scale specimens with circular cross sections symmetrically and asymmetrically reinforced were tested. Results have shown that asymmetrically RC pile developed a slightly higher deflection than its symmetrical counterpart. A new expression for the effective area of concrete in tension applicable to non-symmetrical piles is introduced. Moreover, a new stress–strain law for cracked concrete that accounts the tension stiffening effect for long-term loading is proposed. Finally, for non-symmetrical RC wall piles, the evolution of the parameter that takes into account the duration of loading in deformations is presented. Although more evidence is needed, it is shown that tension stiffening effect contribution could be overestimated by Eurocode 2 in the case of non-symmetrically or underestimated in case of symmetrically RC piles.
