Considering a New Sample Unit Definition for Pavement Condition Index
One of the main components of pavement management system (PMS) is pavement evaluation. Several indices have been defined for the evaluation of existing pavement. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is a common index used for pavement evaluation. In order to calculate PCI, a significant volume of condition data -based on distress surveying- is required. The objective of this research is to reduce...
متن کاملImportance Index of Components in Uncertain Reliability Systems
*Correspondence: [email protected] 2School of Economics and Management, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China Full list of author information is available at the end of the article Abstract Importance measure is an index for estimating the importance of an individual component or a group of components in a reliability system. So far, the importance measures for compon...
متن کاملSystem reliability models for bridge structures
There is a growing need for a more accurate assessment of the load carrying capacity of highway bridges. The traditional approach is based on consideration of individual components rather than structures. Consequently, the acceptance criteria are formulated in terms of the allowable stress, or ultimate moment, in a component. However, it has been observed that the load carrying capacity of the ...
متن کاملAN AGGREGATED FUZZY RELIABILITY INDEX FOR SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS
While sophisticated analytical methods like Morgenstern-Price or finite elementmethods are available for more realistic analysis of stability of slopes, assessment of the exactvalues of soil parameters is practically impossible. Uncertainty in the soil parameters arisesfrom two different sources: scatter in data and systematic error inherent in the estimate of soilproperties. Hence, stability o...
متن کاملSequential-Based Approach for Estimating the Stress-Strength Reliability Parameter for Exponential Distribution
In this paper, two-stage and purely sequential estimation procedures are considered to construct fixed-width confidence intervals for the reliability parameter under the stress-strength model when the stress and strength are independent exponential random variables with different scale parameters. The exact distribution of the stopping rule under the purely sequential procedure is approximated ...
