ABSTRACT

Reliability of existing structures with large building uncertainties is a very difficult task. This paper aims to show how the data from structural monitoring and a fine mechanical analysis allows to update hypothesis on basic variables and reliability computation. The illustration concerns on-pile wharf which cranes are submitted to extreme storm loading.

RÉSUMÉ

La fiabilité des structures existantes présentant des aléas de mise en œuvre importants est un sujet difficile. Cet article montre comment des données d'instrumentation et une analyse mécanique détaillée des structures permet une mise à jour des hypothèses sur les variables de base puis des calculs de fiabilité. L'objet d'application est une structure portuaire de type quai sur pieu dont les portiques sont soumis à des chargements de tempête.
