Uncertainties are present in the inverse analysis of damage identification with respect to the given measurements, mainly the modelling uncertainties and the measurement uncertainties. Modelling uncertainties occur due to constructing a representative model of the real structure through finite element modelling, and representing damage in the real structures through changes in material parameters of the finite element model (assuming smeared crack approach). Measurement uncertainties are always present in the measurements despite the accuracy with which the measurements are measured or the precision of the instruments used for the measurement. The modelling errors in the finite element model are assumed to be encompassed in the updated uncertain parameters of the finite element model, given the uncertainties in the measurements and in the prior uncertainties of the parameters. The uncertainties in the direct measurement data are propagated to the estimated output data. Empirical models from codal provisions and standard recommendations are normally used for prediction of long-time deformations in concrete structures. Uncertainties are also present in the creep and shrinkage models, in the parameters of these models, in the shrinkage and creep mechanisms, in the environmental conditions, and in the in-situ measurements. All these uncertainties are needed to be considered in the damage identification and prediction of long-time deformations in concrete structures. In the context of modelling uncertainty, uncertainties can be categorized into aleatory or epistemic uncertainty. Aleatory uncertainty deals with the irresolvable indeterminacy about how the uncertain variable will evolve over time, whereas epistemic uncertainty deals with lack of knowledge. In the field of damage detection and prediction of long time deformations, aleatory uncertainty is modeled through probabilistic analysis, whereas epistemic uncertainty can be modeled through (1) Interval analysis (2) Ellipsoidal modeling (3) Fuzzy analysis (4) Dempster-Shafer evidence theory or (5) Imprecise probability. Many a times it is di cult to determine whether a particular uncertainty is to be considered as an aleatory or as an epistemic uncertainty, and the model builder makes the distinction. The model builder makes the choice based on the general state of scientific knowledge, on the practical need for limiting the model sophistication to a significant engineering importance, and on the errors associated with the measurements. Measurement uncertainty can be stated as the dispersion of real data resulting from systematic error (instrumental error, environmental error, observational error, human error, drift in measurement, measurement of wrong quantity) and random error (all errors apart from systematic errors). Most of instrumental errors given by the manufacturers are in terms of plus minus ranges and can be better represented through interval bounds. The vagueness involved in the representation of human error, observational error, and drift in measurement can be represented through interval bounds. Deliberate measurement of wrong quantity through cheaper and more convenient measurement units can lead to bad quality data. Quality of data can be better handled through interval analysis, with good quality data having narrow width of interval bounds and bad quality data having wide interval bounds. The environmental error, the electronic noise coming from transmitting the data and the random errors can be represented through probability distribution functions. A major part of the measurement uncertainties is better represented through interval bounds and the other part, is better represented through probability distributions. The uncertainties in the direct measurement data are propagated to the estimated output data (in damage identification techniques, the damaged parameters, and in the long-time deformation, the uncertain parameters of the deformation models, which are then used for the prediction of long-time deformations). Uncertainty based damage identification techniques and long-time deformations in concrete structures require further studies, when the measurement uncertainties are expressed through interval bounds only, or through both interval and probability using imprecise techniques. The thesis is divided into six chapters. Chapter 1 provides a review of existing literature on uncertainty based techniques for damage identification and prediction of long-time deformations in concrete structures. A brief review of uncertainty based methods for engineering applications is made, with special highlight to the need of interval analysis and imprecise probability for modeling uncertainties in the damage identification techniques. The review identifies that the available techniques for damage identification, where the uncertainties in the measurements and in the structural and material parameters are expressed in terms of interval bounds, lack e ciency, when the size of the damaged parameter vector is large. Studies on estimating the uncertainties in the damage parameters when the uncertainties in the measurements are expressed through imprecise probability analysis, are also identified as problems that will be considered in this thesis. Also the need for estimating the short-term time period, which in turn helps in accurate prediction of long-time deformations in concrete structures, along with a cost effective and easy to use system of measuring the existing prestress forces at various time instances in the short-time period is noted. The review identifies that most of modelers and analysts have been inclined to select a single simulation model for the long-time deformations resulted from creep, shrinkage and relaxation, rather than take all the possibilities into consideration, where the model selection is made based on the hardly realistic assumption that we can certainly select a correct, and the lack of confidence associated with model selection brings about the uncertainty that resides in a given model set. The need for a single best model out of all the available deformation models is needed to be developed, when uncertainties are present in the models, in the measurements and in the parameters of each models is also identified as a problem that will be considered in this thesis. In Chapter 2, an algorithm is proposed adapting the existing modified Metropolis Hastings algorithm for estimating the posterior probability of the damage indices as well as the posterior probability of the bounds of the interval parameters, when the measurements are given in terms of interval bounds. A damage index is defined for each element of the finite element model considering the parameters of each element are intervals. Methods are developed for evaluating response bounds in the finite element software ABAQUS, when the parameters of the finite element model are intervals. Illustrative examples include reinforced concrete beams with three damage scenarios mainly (i) loss of stiffness, (ii) loss of mass, and (iii) loss of bond between concrete and reinforcement steel, that have been tested in our laboratory. Comparison of the prediction from the proposed method with those obtained from Bayesian analysis and interval optimization technique show improved accuracy and computational efficiency, in addition to better representation of measurement uncertainties through interval bounds. Imprecise probability based methods are developed in Chapter 3, for damage identifi cation using finite element model updating in concrete structures, when the uncertainties in the measurements and parameters are imprecisely defined. Bayesian analysis using Metropolis Hastings algorithm for parameter estimation is generalized to incorporate the imprecision present in the prior distribution, in the likelihood function, and in the measured responses. Three different cases are considered (i) imprecision is present in the prior distribution and in the measurements only, (ii) imprecision is present in the parameters of the finite element model and in the measurement only, and (iii) imprecision is present in the prior distribution, in the parameters of the finite element model, and in the measurements. Illustrative examples include reinforced concrete beams and prestressed concrete beams tested in our laboratory. In Chapter 4, a steel frame is designed to measure the existing prestressing force in the concrete beams and slabs when embedded inside the concrete members. The steel frame is designed to work on the principles of a vibrating wire strain gauge and is referred to as a vibrating beam strain gauge (VBSG). The existing strain in the VBSG is evaluated using both frequency data on the stretched member and static strain corresponding to a fixed static load, measured using electrical strain gauges. The crack reopening load method is used to compute the existing prestressing force in the concrete members and is then compared with the existing prestressing force obtained from the VBSG at that section. Digital image correlation based surface deformation and change in neutral axis monitored by putting electrical strain gauges across the cross section, are used to compute the crack reopening load accurately. Long-time deformations in concrete structures are estimated in Chapter 5, using short-time measurements of deformation responses when uncertainties are present in the measurements, in the deformation models and in the parameters of the deformation models. The short-time period is defined as the least time up to which if measurements are made available, the measurements will be enough for estimating the parameters of the deformation models in predicting the long time deformations. The short-time period is evaluated using stochastic simulations where all the parameters of the deformation models are defined as random variables. The existing deformation models are empirical in nature and are developed based on an arbitrary selection of experimental data sets among all the available data sets, and each model contains some information about the deformation patterns in concrete structures. Uncertainty based model averaging is performed for obtaining the single best model for predicting the long-time deformation in concrete structures. Three types of uncertainty models are considered namely, probability models, interval models and imprecise probability models. Illustrative examples consider experiments in the Northwestern University database available in the literature and prestressed concrete beams and slabs cast in our laboratory for prediction of long-time prestress losses. A summary of contributions made in this thesis, together with a few suggestions for future research, are presented in Chapter 6. Finally the references that were studies are listed.

Résumé : Le vieillissement des ouvrages en béton est une préoccupation majeure affectant la pérennité et l’efficacité des structures. Le maître d’ouvrage se doit de maintenir les fonctions d’usage de la structure tout en gardant une gestion économique efficace. L’objectif final de ces travaux de recherche est, donc de pouvoir renseigner sur l’état global de fissuration de la structure afin d’aider le maître d’ouvrage à respecter ses engagements. Dans cette optique, cette thèse développe une nouvelle technique aidant à la quantification de l’état des ouvrages massifs en béton. Elle s’appuie, pour cela, sur la méthode non-destructive de résistivité électrique en surface, connue pour sa sensibilité face à des facteurs révélateurs d’une altération. Toutefois, à cause de sa dépendance entre la profondeur d’investigation et la résolution, la méthode ne peut pas garantir de l’état global d’un ouvrage. De ce fait, il a été décidé d’utiliser la résistivité électrique via des forages préexistants dans la structure (diagraphie électrique). L’outil utilisé est une sonde en dispositif normal réservée jusqu’à présent pour la prospection pétrolière et hydrogéologique. En plus d’une prospection en profondeur via le forage, cette sonde peut acquérir des informations sur un rayon de 3.2m autour du forage. Cependant, à mesure que le volume de béton sondé augmente, la résolution décroit. La difficulté est donc de pouvoir exploiter les capacités de prospection de la sonde tout en sachant que la résolution faillit. Il s’agit de contourner le problème en maîtrisant les concepts de la diagraphie et son nouveau milieu d’application. Cette thèse est basée sur une première approche numérique permettant d’apporter des corrections sur les données de terrain et de déterminer la sensibilité de l’outil face à de l’endommagement d’ouverture plurimillimétrique à centimétrique. Ceci est validé par des mesures réalisées sur une écluse de la Voie Maritime du Saint-Laurent. Une étude numérique de la réponse de l’outil en fonction des paramètres de fissure tels que l’ouverture, le contraste entre la résistivité de la discontinuité et du béton, et l’extension est réalisée. Elle permet de construire une base de données afin de développer une méthode pour la caractérisation de l’endommagement. Cette méthode s’appuie sur ces réponses diagraphiques pour retrouver les paramètres de fissure recherchés (problème inverse). Nous procédons tout d’abord par une analyse préliminaire se basant sur un croisement des informations apportées par les différentes électrodes de la sonde puis nous optimisons les résultats par la méthode de recuit simulé. La méthode, ainsi développée est ensuite appliquée à un deuxième ouvrage pour en déterminer l’état interne. Ces travaux détectent plusieurs zones endommagées et caractérisent l’une d’elles par une ouverture centimétrique et une extension comprise entre 1.6m et 3.2m. Ces travaux prometteurs, attestent d’un premier diagnostic interne des ouvrages massifs en béton, un enjeu qui restait sans réponses satisfaisantes jusqu’à maintenant. // Abstract : The aging of concrete structures is a major problem affecting their sustainability and their efficiency. The owner must maintain the structure serviceability and provide cost-effective management. The goal of this work is to provide detailed information about the state of cracking inside the structure in order to assist the owner to meet its commitments. In this context, this thesis develops a new technology to assess the condition of mass concrete structures. It relies on a non-destructive method based on electrical resistivity measured from surface, known for its sensitivity to factors associated with concrete deterioration. However, because of its dependence between the investigation depth and the resolution, the method cannot assess the overall state of a structure. Therefore, it was decided to use the electrical resistivity through preexisting boreholes in the structure (electrical logging). The tool used is a normal probe, which has been traditionally used for oil and hydrogeological exploration. In addition to the investigation in depth via boreholes, this probe can get information over a radius of 3.2m around the borehole. However, as the probing volume of concrete increases, the resolution decreases. Difficulty is to use the exploration abilities of the tool, knowing that the resolution is limited. This is to get around the problem by mastering logging concepts and its new application environment. This thesis is based on a first numerical approach to make corrections on field data and to determine the tool sensitivity with regard to the multi-millimeter and centimeter crack size damage. This was validated with measurements made on a full-size lock located on the St. Lawrence Seaway. A numerical study of the tool response versus the discontinuities parameters such as the crack aperture, the resistivity contrast between the discontinuity and the concrete, and the extension was done. It allowed building a database used to develop a method for the characterization of the damage. This method is based on the tool responses to find the crack parameters (inverse problem). First, we proceed with a preliminary analysis based on a cross of information provided by the different electrodes of the probe then we optimize the results by the method of simulated annealing. The characterization method is applied to another structure to quantify its internal state. These studies detect several damaged areas and characterize one of them by a centimeter aperture and an extension between 1.6m and 3.2m. This work attest to a first internal diagnosis of massive concrete structures, an issue that remained without satisfactory answers so far.

Temperature gradient causes volume change (elongation/shortening) in concrete structures. If the movement of the structure is restrained, significant stresses may occur on the structure. These stresses may be so significant that they can cause considerable cracking at structural components of large concrete structures. Thus, during the design of a concrete structure, the actual temperature gradient in the structure should be obtained in order to compute the stress distribution on the structure due to thermal effects. This study focuses on the implementation of a solution procedure for coupled thermal and structural analysis with finite element method for such structures. For this purpose, first transient heat transfer analysis algorithm is implemented to compute the thermal gradient occurring inside the concrete structures. Then, the output of the thermal analysis is combined with the linear static solution algorithm to compute stresses due to temperature gradient. Several, 2D and 3D, finite elements having both structural and thermal analysis capabilities are developed. The performances of each finite element are investigated. As a case study, the top floor of two L-shaped reinforced concrete parking structure and office building are analyzed. Both structures are subjected to heat convection at top face of the slabs as ambient condition. The bottom face of the slab of the parking structure has the same thermal conditions as the top face whereas in the office building the temperature inside the building is fixed to 20 degrees. The differences in the stress distribution of the slabs and the internal forces of the vertical structural members are discussed.

Les discontinuités sont préjudiciables à la pérennité des structures en béton. Les méthodes non-destructives sont bien développées pour l’étude des altérations en surface, mais peu de techniques sont adaptées à la caractérisation de défauts dans la masse. Dans cette thèse, des mesures de résistivité électrique sont réalisées pour l’étude des discontinuités (fissures, joints, interfaces) au sein des ouvrages massifs en béton par l’intermédiaire des forages préexistants. La technique utilisée est la diagraphie électrique de résistivité en dispositif normal. Une première approche numérique (éléments finis) permet d’appréhender les corrections à apporter sur les mesures. Puis l’étude des paramètres d'ouverture, de contraste entre la résistivité de la discontinuité et du béton, et d'extension permet de proposer une méthode d’inversion des mesures pour la caractérisation de l’endommagement. Des essais sur des ouvrages hydrauliques sont réalisés afin de définir la méthodologie de mesure sur site. Les mesures sont ensuite confrontées à la méthode d’inversion pour la valider. / Discontinuities are one of the most harmful damage to the durability of concrete structures. The non-destructive methods appear to be effective for the detection and the location of surface cracks but they might be unsuitable for investigation of massive concrete body. In this thesis, the electrical resistivity measurements are made for the study of cracks and discontinuities (concrete joints, interfaces ...) in massive concrete structures by preexisting boreholes. The study is based on a first numerical approach (finite elements) to understand the corrections on data. Then the study of the aperture, the resistivity contrast between the discontinuity and the concrete, and the extension provide a method for the inversion of measures to characterize the damage. The tests on hydraulic structures are carried out to define the methodology for on measurement site. The measurements are then compared to the inversion method to validate it.

The point of my diploma thesis was design elements of reinforced concrete frame structures mounted single – storey mall.I choose the most exposed to the specified longitudinal frame structure, where I assumed the most highly stressed elements, which I subsequently designed. All documents and calculations are illustrated in part B2 of my diploma thesis.

The theme of the work is design of the administrative building with supporting concrete structure. The design must include changes of concrete cubic capacity and their additional effects on the stress of the structure. Minimization of the impact of additional stress is necessary to solve with the appropriate design of structural systems and materials.

The corrosion of steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures constitutes an alarming problem. To combat this problem, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin developed two, low-cost, passive, wireless sensors: a threshold, corrosion sensor and an analog conductivity sensor. Today, the basic circuit designs for both sensors are finished and their reliabilities are confirmed. However, multiple problems regarding the durability of the sensors remain. This research project: (a) identifies these problems, (b) proposes enhancements for each type of passive, wireless sensor, (c) tests and evaluates the proposed modifications to the sensors, and (d) proposes potential improvements and areas of research regarding the future development of these two sensors. / text

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / In this paper, a study on masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames subjected to service limit state horizontal loads is presented, considering the masonry panel contribution in the stiffness of the structure. The analysis of infilled frames is performed in two ways: using the equivalent diagonal strut concept, called here as macromodelling and the finite element method (FEM) for the micromodelling. Due to simplicity, equivalent strut models are really attractive for the inclusion of masonry panels in structural models of buildings frames. However, formulations available in the literature provide substantially distinct values for determining the axial rigidity of the equivalent strut, and disregarding some important parameters of the structural behavior of the infilled frame. In the FEM analysis, numerical simulations of infilled RC frames are done, with and without openings, with different spans, stiffness of the columns and masonry properties, using finite elements type shell in the modeling, in addition to the consideration of the contact frame-masonry. The simulations results allow the assessment of the limitations of the existing formulations for determining the width of the diagonal strut. In infilled frames with openings of doors and windows, is evaluated how the size and position of the aperture affects the stiffness of the structure. Finally, the maximum stresses (tensile, compression and shear) of all models are evaluated and compared with their respective resistant stresses in order to determine the possibility of cracking of the masonry panels of frames subjected to service limit state actions. / Neste trabalho é apresentado um estudo sobre pórticos de concreto armado preenchidos com alvenaria submetidos a ações horizontais de Estado Limite de Serviço (ELS), considerando a contribuição do painel de preenchimento na rigidez da estrutura. A análise dos pórticos preenchidos é realizada de duas maneiras: empregando-se o conceito da diagonal equivalente, na denominada macromodelagem e o método dos elementos finitos (MEF) para a micromodelagem simplificada. Em razão da simplicidade, os modelos com barras diagonais equivalentes são bastante atrativos para a inclusão de painéis de alvenaria nos modelos estruturais de pórticos de edifícios. Entretanto, as formulações disponíveis na bibliografia especializada fornecem valores sensivelmente distintos para a determinação da rigidez axial da barra equivalente, além de desconsiderarem alguns parâmetros importantes do comportamento estrutural do conjunto pórtico-alvenaria. Na análise através do MEF são realizadas simulações numéricas de pórticos de concreto preenchidos com alvenaria, com e sem aberturas, com diferentes vãos, rigidez de pilares e propriedades da alvenaria, empregando-se elementos bidimensionais na modelagem, além da consideração do contato pórtico-parede. Os resultados dessas simulações permitem a avaliação das limitações das formulações existentes para a determinação da largura da barra equivalente. No caso de pórticos preenchidos com aberturas, é avaliado de que forma o tamanho e a posição da abertura afeta a rigidez da estrutura. Por fim, as máximas tensões solicitantes (tração, compressão e cisalhamento) de todos os modelos são avaliadas, e comparadas com as respectivas tensões resistentes, a fim de determinar a possibilidade de fissuração dos painéis de preenchimento de pórticos submetidos a ações de ELS.

Les méthodes de contrôle non destructif (CND) sont essentielles pour estimer les propriétés du béton (mécaniques ou physiques) et leur variabilité spatiale. Elles constituent également un outil pertinent pour réduire le budget d'auscultation d'un ouvrage d'art. La démarche proposée est incluse dans un projet ANR (EvaDéOS) dont l'objectif est d'optimiser le suivi des ouvrages de génie civil en mettant en œuvre une maintenance préventive afin de réduire les coûts. Dans le cas du travail de thèse réalisé, pour caractériser au mieux une propriété particulière du béton (ex : résistance mécanique, porosité, degré de Saturation, etc.), avec des méthodes ND sensibles aux mêmes propriétés, il est impératif de développer des outils objectifs permettant de rationaliser une campagne d'essais sur les ouvrages en béton armé. Dans ce but, premièrement, il est proposé un outil d'échantillonnage spatial optimal pour réduire le nombre de points d'auscultation. L'algorithme le plus couramment employé est le recuit simulé spatial (RSS). Cette procédure est régulièrement utilisée dans des applications géostatistiques, et dans d'autres domaines, mais elle est pour l'instant quasiment inexploitée pour des structures de génie civil. Dans le travail de thèse, une optimisation de la méthode d'optimisation de l'échantillonnage spatial (MOES) originale inspirée du RSS et fondée sur la corrélation spatiale a été développée et testée dans le cas d'essais sur site avec deux fonctions objectifs complémentaires : l'erreur de prédiction moyenne et l'erreur sur l'estimation de la variabilité. Cette méthode est décomposée en trois parties. Tout d'abord, la corrélation spatiale des mesures ND est modélisée par un variogramme. Ensuite, la relation entre le nombre de mesures organisées dans une grille régulière et la fonction objectif est déterminée en utilisant une méthode d'interpolation spatiale appelée krigeage. Enfin, on utilise l'algorithme MOES pour minimiser la fonction objectif en changeant les positions d'un nombre réduit de mesures ND et pour obtenir à la fin une grille irrégulière optimale. Des essais destructifs (ED) sont nécessaires pour corroborer les informations obtenues par les mesures ND. En raison du coût ainsi que des dégâts possibles sur la structure, un plan d'échantillonnage optimal afin de prélever un nombre limité de carottes est important. Pour ce faire, une procédure utilisant la fusion des données fondée sur la théorie des possibilités et développée antérieurement, permet d'estimer les propriétés du béton à partir des ND. Par le biais d'un recalage nécessitant des ED réalisés sur carottes, elle est étalonnée. En sachant qu'il y a une incertitude sur le résultat des ED réalisés sur les carottes, il est proposé de prendre en compte cette incertitude et de la propager au travers du recalage sur les résultats des données fusionnées. En propageant ces incertitudes, on obtient des valeurs fusionnées moyennes par point avec un écart-type. On peut donc proposer une méthodologie de positionnement et de minimisation du nombre des carottes nécessaire pour ausculter une structure par deux méthodes : la première, en utilisant le MOES pour les résultats des propriétés sortis de la fusion dans chaque point de mesure et la seconde par la minimisation de l'écart-type moyen sur la totalité des points fusionnés, obtenu après la propagation des incertitudes des ED. Pour finir, afin de proposer une alternative à la théorie des possibilités, les réseaux de neurones sont également testés comme méthodes alternatives pour leur pertinence et leur simplicité d'utilisation. / Non-destructive testing methods (NDT) are essential for estimating concrete properties (mechanical or physical) and their spatial variability. They also constitute an useful tool to reduce the budget auscultation of a structure. The proposed approach is included in an ANR project (EvaDéOS) whose objective is to optimize the monitoring of civil engineering structures by implementing preventive maintenance to reduce diagnosis costs. In this thesis, the objective was to characterize at best a peculiar property of concrete (e.g. mechanical strength, porosity, degree of saturation, etc.), with technical ND sensitive to the same properties. For this aim, it is imperative to develop objective tools that allow to rationalize a test campaign on reinforced concrete structures. For this purpose, first, it is proposed an optimal spatial sampling tool to reduce the number of auscultation points. The most commonly used algorithm is the spatial simulated annealing (SSA). This procedure is regularly used in geostatistical applications, and in other areas, but yet almost unexploited for civil engineering structures. In the thesis work, an original optimizing spatial sampling method (OSSM) inspired in the SSA and based on the spatial correlation was developed and tested in the case of on-site auscultation with two complementary fitness functions: mean prediction error and the error on the estimation of the global variability. This method is divided into three parts. First, the spatial correlation of ND measurements is modeled by a variogram. Then, the relationship between the number of measurements organized in a regular grid and the objective function is determined using a spatial interpolation method called kriging. Finally, the OSSM algorithm is used to minimize the objective function by changing the positions of a smaller number of ND measurements and for obtaining at the end an optimal irregular grid. Destructive testing (DT) are needed to corroborate the information obtained by the ND measurements. Because of the cost and possible damage to the structure, an optimal sampling plan to collect a limited number of cores is important. For this aim, a procedure using data fusion based on the theory of possibilities and previously developed is used to estimate the properties of concrete from the ND. Through a readjustment bias requiring DTs performed on carrots, it is calibrated. Knowing that there is uncertainty about the results of DTs performed on carrots, it is proposed to take into account this uncertainty and propagate it through the calibration on the results of the fused data. By propagating this uncertainty, it is obtained mean fused values with a standard deviation. One can thus provide a methodology for positioning and minimizing the number of cores required to auscultate a structure by two methods: first, using the OSSM for the results of fused properties values in each measuring point and the second by the minimization of the average standard deviation over all of the fused points obtained after the propagation of DTs uncertainties. Finally, in order to propose an alternative to the possibility theory, neural networks are also tested as alternative methods for their relevance and usability.
