【 摘 要 】
The use of various non- or minor-destructive tests (NDTs) is often preferred to reduce the cost of structural surveys of historic structures made of cast and wrought irons or old carbon steels. This contribution thus explores the measurement errors associated with common NDT techniques and quantifies uncertainties in characteristic strength estimates based on NDTs only. It appears that a unity mean and coefficient of variation of 12% might be adopted for the measurement uncertainty of the methods under study (Brinell, Leeb, Poldi, Vickers, Rockwell). On average, the true characteristic ultimate strength is by ~15% larger than that based on many NDTs. This represents the expected gain when the characteristic value is estimated from five DTs instead of a large number of NDTs. In practice detailed reliability assessments should always be based on results of DTs or at least on NDTs properly calibrated by DTs.
