Surface Condensation Assessment Using Probabilistic Calculation

Abstract

This paper deals with the use of probabilistic methods in the reliability assessment of water vapor condensation on the building structures surface. To calculate the resulting probability of failure it was used original and newly developed Direct Optimized Probabilistic Calculation – DOProC method, which has been successfully applied in the software system ProbCalc. To solve this probabilistic computation tasks, this would appear to be very effective and accurate. When calculating the resulting probability of failure there was also taken into account the statistical dependence of the random input variables, which were expressed probabilistically based on long-term monitoring of the assessed building.
