Evidence theory for data co-exploitation. Application for service life assessment of building products

An original method for service life assessment of building products is proposed. In addition to a rigorous analysis and system modelling, "Evidence Theory" is adapted and used. Allowing the taking into account of uncertainty and ignorance, this tool has proved efficient in our service life assessment procedure. After a short presentation of the context, the concept of "fusion" is sketched; the principle of the service life assessment methodology, its use and perspectives are then exposed.
