Pipe failures in water distribution systems can have a serious
impact and hence it's important to maintain the condition and
integrity of the distribution system. This book presents a
whole-life cost optimisation model for the rehabilitation of water
distribution systems. 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. The 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. The
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. The utility of the developed
models is that it allows decision makers to prioritize their
rehabilitation strategy in a proactive and cost-effective manner.
