Post‐Construction Performance of 4.6‐km Breakwater
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the performance aspects of a 4.6‐km‐long breakwater constructed in 1979 but not accepted by the owner until 1983, when remedial works were completed and post‐construction liabilities were established. ...
Decision Support Model for Integrated Risk Assessment and Prioritization of Intervention Plans of Municipal Infrastructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Multisensor Data Fusion for Bridge Condition Assessment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Scheduling of Repetitive Projects with Cost Optimization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Existing dynamic programming formulations are capable of identifying, from a set of possible alternatives, the optimum crew size for each activity in a repetitive project. The optimization criterion of these formulations ...
Study of the Suitability of Existing Deterioration Models for Water Mains
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Deterioration of water mains causes serious problems in major urban communities worldwide. This paper presents the findings of a recent study conducted on pipe-break data in an effort to identify and categorize the key ...
Optimizing Inspection Policies for Buried Municipal Pipe Infrastructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Condition assessment is an integral component in any infrastructure asset management system. Without condition information, asset managers lack the ability to make appropriate decisions regarding needed maintenance, ...
Prediction Models for Annual Break Rates of Water Mains
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Annual break rates are often used by municipalities as one of the most important criteria in rating the condition of water mains. This paper presents the development of deterioration models that predict the annual break ...
Structural Condition Assessment of Sewer Pipelines
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The need of immediate supportive measures for sustainability of municipal infrastructures calls for better understanding of the behavior of various infrastructure network systems and their components. This paper presents ...
Automated Detection and Location of Leaks in Water Mains Using Infrared Photography
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Leakage of water distribution networks is the most common reason of undesirable losses of potable water. Problems associated with water main leaks pose growing concern around the globe. These problems include water and ...
Forecasting the Remaining Useful Life of Cast Iron Water Mains
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Effective asset management strategy of civil infrastructure systems requires integration of technical and financial plans. This is particularly true in managing water mains, which requires knowledge of their current condition ...
