Optimal intervention strategies for multiple objects affected by manifest and latent deterioration processes

摘要: In the existing infrastructure management systems, optimal interventions strategies (OISs) are determined for objects that deteriorate gradually (manifest deterioration process, MDPs), under assumption with appropriate inspection and intervention probability of failure object can be neglected. Objects suddenly (latent LDPs), example, due to scouring during a flood or earth movements an earthquake not considered. The determination OISs deteriorates both MDPs LDPs requires consideration both. latter, however, means must this article, Markov model is presented used determine multiple types affected by uncorrelated LDPs. extension proposed Mayet Madanat (Incorporation seismic considerations in bridge systems.
