It combines a pipe breakage number prediction model with a pipe criticality assessment model, which enables the creation of a well-constructed and more tightly constrained optimisation model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pipe breakage number prediction model combines information on the physical characteristics of the pipes with historical information on breakage and failure rates. A weighted multiple nonlinear regression analysis is applied to describe the condition of different pipe groups. The criticality assessment model combines a pipe’s condition with its hydraulic significance through a modified TOPSIS. This model enables the optimisation to focus its efforts on those important pipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole life cost optimal rehabilitation model is a multiple-objective and multiple-stage model, which provides a suite of rehabilitation decisions that minimise the whole life cost while maximising its long-term performance. The optimisation model is solved using a modified NSGA-II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe utility of the developed models is that it allows decision makers to prioritise their rehabilitation strategy in a proactive and cost-effective manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605589508332,"sku":"9781138322813","price":200.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138322813-deterioration-and-optimal-rehabilitation-modelling-for-urban-water-distribution-systems.jpg?v=1778133420"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/yi-zhou.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
