Original Abstract

In the paper a soft-computing based small-sample inverse reliability method is employed to find selected design parameters of a single-span post-tensioned composite bridge to ensure its reliability and load-bearing capacity. The analyzed bridge is made of precast post-tensioned concrete girders, each composed of six segments that are connected by the transverse joints. According to diagnostic survey the bridge exhibits a spatial variability of deterioration which brings uncertainty into actual values of concrete strength in transverse joints and of actual loss of pre-stressing. Because of their significant effect on the bridge load-bearing capacity and reliability, both were considered as uncertain design parameters with the aim to find their critical values corresponding to desired reliability level and load-bearing capacity.
