Abstract: 
Predicting spalling of concrete due to fire loading is undoubtedly ab complex task to come across. Existing numerical models are dealing with the phenomena on different complexity levels of describing the physical/chemical processes and material behavior. But still they do not take the highly stochastic nature of these processes into account. This paper discusses a proposal to develop a practical prediction method based on simplify numerical models and the probabilistic approach.
