TY - JOUR A1 - Pohl, Christoph A1 - Smilauer, V. A1 - Unger, Jörg F. T1 - A three-phase transport model for high-temperature concrete simulations validated with X-ray CT data N2 - Concrete exposure to high temperatures induces thermo-hygral phenomena, causing water phase changes, buildup of pore pressure and vulnerability to spalling. In order to predict these phenomena under various conditions, a three-phase transport model is proposed. The model is validated on X-ray CT data up to 320 ◦C, showing good agreement of the temperature profiles and moisture changes. A dehydration description, traditionally derived from thermogravimetric analysis, was replaced by a formulation based on data from neutron radiography. In addition, treating porosity and dehydration evolution as independent processes, previous approaches do not fulfil the solid mass balance. As a consequence, a new formulation is proposed that introduces the porosity as an independent variable, ensuring the latter condition.

T1 - Efficient identification of random fields coupling Bayesian inference and PGD reduced order model for damage localization N2 - One of the main challenges regarding our civil infrastructure is the efficient operation over their complete design lifetime while complying with standards and safety regulations. Thus, costs for maintenance or replacements must be optimized while still ensuring specified safety levels. This requires an accurate estimate of the current state as well as a prognosis for the remaining useful life. Currently, this is often done by regular manual or visual inspections within constant intervals. However, the critical sections are often not directly accessible or impossible to be instrumented at all. Model‐based approaches can be used where a digital twin of the structure is set up. For these approaches, a key challenge is the calibration and validation of the numerical model based on uncertain measurement data. The aim of this contribution is to increase the efficiency of model updating by using the advantage of model reduction (Proper Generalized Decomposition, PGD) and applying the derived method for efficient model identification of a random stiffness field of a real bridge.” KW - Model reduction KW - Model updating KW - Proper generalized decomposition KW - Random field KW - Variational Bayesian Inference PY - 2021 UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b43-521275 DO - https://doi.org/10.1002/pamm.202000063 VL - 20 IS - 1 SP - e202000063 PB - Wiley Online Libary AN - OPUS4-52127 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER -
