Summary:
Long-term behavior of concrete is modeled by several widely accepted models, such as B3, \emph{fib} MC 2010, or ACI 209 whose input parameters and output values are not identical to each other. Moreover, the input and, consequently, the output values are uncertain. In this paper, fuzzy input parameters are considered in uncertainty quantification of each model response and, finally, the sets of responses are analyzed by elementary tools of evidence theory. That is, belief and plausibility functions are proposed to combine evidence from different models.
