Abstract
Focusing on heritage structures, various non-destructive tests (NDT) or minor-destructive techniques (MDT) can be applied while the application of destructive testing is limited. The probabilistic models for tensile and compressive strengths of historic cast iron are developed on the basis of destructive tests (DTs) and MDTs, respectively. NDT results are critically compared with DTs. It appears that numerous uncertainties affecting estimated resistance can be treated by statistical approaches along with the semi-probabilistic verification method. Non-destructive hardness tests can hardly be used to estimate strength of cast iron and must be supplemented by destructive tests.
