Reliability based robustness of timber structures through NDT data updating

This work presents a framework for reliability-based assessment of timber structures / members using data gathered from non-destructive test results. These results are used for modeling an update of the mechanical characteristics of timber, using Bayesian methods. These methods are suitable to be us...
