Neural Network Based Prediction Models For Structural Deterioration of Urban Drainage Pipes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Structural deterioration of drainage pipes has been a major concern for asset managers in maintaining the required performance of the urban drainage systems. Structural deterioration is the reduction of physical integrity, which can be characterized through structural defects such as cracks and fractures that are identified through condition assessment. Due to limited budget and the massive number of pipes, condition assessment often is carried out on a fraction of the pipe network using closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection and a condition grading scheme. The condition assessment identifies the serviceability of pipes in a scale from one to three with one being the perfect, two being the fair and three being the poor condition.

Development of An Artificial Neural Network Model for Asphalt Pavement Deterioration Using LTPP Data
Deterioration models are important and essential part of any Pavement Management System (PMS). These models are used to predict future pavement situation based on existence condition, parameters causing deterioration and implications of various maintenance and rehabilitation policies on pavement. The majority of these models are based on roughness which is one of the most important indices in p...
متن کاملApplication of probabilistic neural networks in modelling structural deterioration of stormwater pipes
In Australia, when stormwater systems were first introduced over 100 years ago, they were constructed independently of the sewer systems, and they are normally the responsibility of the third level of government, i.e., local government or city councils. Because of the increasing age of these stormwater systems and their worsening performance, there are serious concerns in a significant number o...

Introduction: The spatial and temporal distribution of salts in the soil, the great extent of the Iranian deserts, and the adverse climatic conditions prevailing over them make it difficult to accurately determine the parameters and field measurements in some cases. In the last two decades, the use of field techniques and their combination with remote sensing data has contributed significantly ...

One of the main aims of water resource planners and managers is to estimate and predict the parameters of groundwater quality so that they can make managerial decisions. In this regard, there have many models developed, proposing better management in order to maintain water quality. Most of these models require input parameters that are either hardly available or time-consuming and expensive to...
