Opis

This book presents a whole-life cost optimisation model for the rehabilitation of water distribution systems. The pipe breakage number prediction model combines the physical characteristics of the pipes with historical data on breakage and failure rates. The criticality assessment model combines a pipe’s condition with its hydraulic significance. The whole life cost optimal rehabilitation model is a multiple-objective and multiple-stage model to minimise the whole life cost while maximising long-term performance of the system. The utility of the models is that it allows decision makers to prioritize their rehabilitation strategy in a proactive and cost-effective manner.
