Safety and Probabilistic Modelling : Sustainable Bridges Background document D4.4

• The main objective of this background document is to bridge the gap between the most advanced structural assessment techniques based on probabilistic methods and the daily practice of bridge evaluators in the railway agencies, not specifically trained on them and responsible of the load and resistance assessments. To this end, the background document explains and summarizes the basis of the safety assessment using a probabilistic approach, providing simplified methods whenever possible and also providing examples of application in order to make the documents more readable and understandable.The present background document is divided in the following deliverables:D4.4.1 Safety format and required safety levelsD4.4.2 Probabilistic modellingD4.4.3 Probabilistic non-linear analysisD4.4.4 Examination of fatigue safety and remaining fatigue life of structural details andcomponents in steel of railway bridges using probabilistic methodsD4.4.5 Long-term behaviour of subsoil below railway embankments – A simplified predictionmethod of settlements with a probabilistic approach
