1 Development of the safety concept in design codes Lennart Elfgren Luleå University of Technology Anchor Bolts for Nuclear Power Plant Applications Design and Assessment Energiforsk Seminar, Stockholm, 3 rd November, 2015

2 Outline Introduction Historical Development Safety factors Partial coefficients Reliability Anchorage Future

3 Introduction Safety is a major concern for all of us. From our birth we learn by trial and error, which actions that are safe and which are unsafe (walking, fighting, negotiating ) Our society uses advanced technical systems which influence the whole globe. It is of vital importance to use safe procedures (traffic, energy, climate change )

4 Anchorages for a wall in the Old Town in Stockholm Cephalus, Myntgatan-Storkyrkobrinken-Västerlånggatan

5 Personal Responsibility BC Hammurabi, Babylon, 1772 BC: If a builder build a house for some one, and does not construct it properly, and the house which he built fall in and kill its owner, then that builder shall be put to death. (No 229) Code on diorite stele, Louvre, Paris

6 Allowed stresses before Transport Board (Kungl. Väg- och vattenbyggnadsstyrelsen ) prescribed loads, materials and allowable stresses for steel Steel (Järnbestämmelser, SFS 1919:193) s st,till 0,5 s st, yield 100 á 150 MPa Concrete (Betongbestämmelser, SFS 1926:13) s cc,till 0,2 s cc,crushing 3 á 4 MPa Allowable stresses were ca: 50 % of the yield stress for steel e.g. s st,till = 150 MPa for St 44 (s y = 260 MPa) 30 % of the concrete compressive strength e.g. s cc,till = 12, 5 MPa for K40 Järnbestämmelser SOU 1938:37, Stålbyggnorm 1968, 1970 Betongbestämmelser SOU 1949:64; B5, B6, B7 1968

7 Reliability analysis Eurocode Handbook on Reliability

8 Partial coefficients after 1980 Starting 1979 new codes were introduced based on partial coefficients BBK79, BSK87, BKR 93 Frequency Load Effect E(F) or Sollicitation, S(F) Resistance, R(f) 5 % 5% R, E, S E m E k E d < R d R k R m Characterisitic values on loads F k and strengths f k are turned into design values with partial coefficients g. At failure (ultimate limit state, ULS) we have: F d = g f F k Usually g f = 1,3 for design loads and 1 for dead loads f d = f k /(g m g n ) Ususally g m = 1,2 for steel and 1,5 for concrete. g n = 1,0 1,2 depending on safety class 1,3 1,5 1,2 = 2,34

9 Reliability index b Frequency Load Effect, E (Sollicitation, S) Resistance, R m E R, E G = R E 0 m G = m R m E with s G std deviation b = m G /s G where b = reliability factor b = 4,75 corresponds to a failure safety of p = 10-6 (one failure out of a 1 million)

10 Probability and Reliability index b b Reliability index 1,28 2,32 3,09 3,72 4,2 4,75 5,2 P f Probability T = 50 years ASSESS DESIGN DESIGN BRIDGES The reference period T is of importance. Usually T = 50 or 100 years for structures For T = 1 year the probability will be 1/50 of the numbers for 50 years For swedes with a median life length of 80 years the probability to die before the age of 50 is 5% = 0,05 = the age of 80 is 50% = 0,5 = Probability for me to die from a Traffic accident 10-4 per year = per 50 year Train accident per year = 2, per 50 year Thunder storm 10-7 per year = per 50 year

11 Eurocodes from 2011 The work to create a European code began in Sweden joined in 1989, when the work was transferred to CEN (Comité Européen de Nomalisation) Pre-standards (ENV) were published between Voluntary to use. Early example: Öresund bridge. Definite standards (EN) All major parts are now finalized. National codes may be used during a transition period. SS-EN (Swedish version, generally translated). NA (National Annex, adjustable parameters for each country).

34 Assessment When assessing an existing structures you know or may determine the actual - material properties - geometry - strains and stresses for specific loads These parameters are often uncertain when a new structure is designed. It may thus be conservative to apply codes developed for design when assessing existing structures. This was one of the reasons to start Sustainable Bridges Challenges for structural engineers dealing with existing structures: - Higher live loads - Fatigue safety and serviceability - Accidental actions - Durability - Interventions

35 Design vs Assessment - Reliability Analysis

36 European Work A special Eurocode for the assessment of structures is now under preparation by CEN/TC 250/WG2.

41 Climate Change the biggest safety challenge? The probability for disastrous climate change is 1 (b 0) if we do not stop CO 2 emissions. However, we have no experience of it and it is not in front of our noses, so we do not really act. This is due to our brains (developed to help us survive other types of problems some years ago in our African past). Safety of fasteners is an important issue but climate change is a matter of life and death for the next generation. So, take command of your mind! Act now!
