ProTimber ( Probabilistic assessment of existing timber Structures) project aims:
obtaining reliable predictions of the resistance variables associated to the mechanical behaviour of Structural timber members (solid timber and glued laminated timber);
probabilistic Assessment of Structural connections;
evaluation of the impact of time-variant variables (aging, creep, load-duration and biodeterioration);
fusion of all information in a coherent manner in order to promote a true probabilistic assessment of timber structures.
