Abstract
This chapter illustrates first how the recommendations proposed by RILEM TC 249-ISC can be applied in practice. All the steps of the investigation process described in the recommendations are followed and the obtained results are discussed. The second objective is to demonstrate the practical interest of some of the options promoted or recommended in the recommendations. The case study, based on synthetic data, is a four-storey reinforced concrete frame structure. To be representative of a real case study, the synthetic data involves different types of variability, i.e. between mixes (each storey corresponding to a different mix), between components of a given storey and within each component, due to the casting process. Additional variability comes from concrete moisture that can vary slightly around its mean value corresponding to a saturation degree assumed to be 80%.
