Strategic Implementation of Infrastructure Priority Projects: Case Study in Palestine
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)A strategy was developed for implementation and management of multisector urban infrastructure projects. The strategy includes risk-based analytical hierarchy process (AHP) for project prioritization that is based on project ... -
Reliability-Based Condition Assessment of Welded Miter Gate Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is working to develop rational policies for prioritizing in-service inspection, maintenance, and repair policies for aging locks and dams on the inland waterway system using structural ... -

Scheduling Inspection and Renewal of Large Infrastructure Assets
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)A decision framework is introduced to assist municipal engineers and planners to optimize decisions regarding the renewal of large infrastructure assets such as water transmission pipes, trunk sewers, or other assets with ... -
Multiple Layer Fuzzy Evaluation for Existing Reinforced Concrete Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The principal objective of this paper is to set up an evaluation multiple layer fuzzy method model for evaluating the damage stage of existing reinforced concrete bridges. After establishing the detailed evaluation ... -
Assessment of Infrastructure Inspection Needs Using Logistic Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Use of various deterioration models in the area of infrastructure management has provided decision makers with a vehicle for predicting future deterioration. This paper presents a methodology for predicting the likelihood ... -
Challenging Issues in Modeling Deterioration of Combined Sewers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The understanding of sewer deterioration mechanisms helps asset managers in developing deterioration models to estimate whether sewers have deteriorated sufficiently for likely collapses. While an accurate deterioration ... -
Hydraulic Infrastructures Design Using Simulated Annealing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Because the provision of an adequate and reliable water supply system involves a very high level of investment, it is essential that the layout and design of such systems are very carefully planned and the operation of ... -
Pipeline Rehabilitation with Fiber-Reinforced Mortar Lining
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper introduces an innovative method of in situ water main rehabilitation to solve the metallic pipeline corrosion problem while preventing future lead and lime leaching. The existing main is used as a form, and a ... -
Semiparametric Hazard Rate Models of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Deck Deterioration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The development of models to predict the distribution of times between changes in condition-state for reinforced concrete bridge decks is presented in this paper. The authors used semiparametric hazard rate modeling ... -
Excavation of Surface Installed Pipeline
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)A research program was undertaken to investigate the behavior of high-density polyethylene pipe during surface installation by horizontal directional drilling. In the fall of 1997, an instrumented high-density polyethylene ... -
Risk Factors Affecting Management and Maintenance Cost of Urban Infrastructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Constrained funding requires that resources be allocated and used efficiently in order to maximize the safety, utility, and state of good repair of public facilities. During the life cycle of any public facility various ... -
Tree Root Intrusion in Sewer Systems: Review of Extent and Costs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Interference between trees and sewer systems is likely to occur in old systems and in cracked pipes. Factors that contribute to damage include old pipes with joints, shallow pipes, small-dimension pipes, and fast-growing ... -
MSRP: Model for Station Rehabilitation Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper describes the MSRP (Model for Station Rehabilitation Planning) for selecting subway stations for rehabilitation. This method evaluates the stations at four different levels: (1) technical/social evaluation ...
