The use of statistical methods to discern patterns of historical breakage rates and use them
to predict water main breaks has been widely documented. Particularly challenging is the …

The statistical analysis of historical breakage patterns of water mains is a cost effective
approach to discern their deterioration, where physical mechanisms that lead to their …

I-WARP is based upon a nonhomogeneous Poisson approach to model breakage rates in
individual water mains. The structural deterioration of water mains and their subsequent …

The effective planning of water distribution system renewal requires accurate quantification
of the structural deterioration of water mains. As typical water distribution systems comprise …

The use of statistical models to predict pipe failures has become an important tool for
proactive management of drinking water networks. This targeted review provides an …

Urban water distribution maintenance decisions present a very difficult multicriteria and
multiobjective problem. Deterioration of those systems reSults primarily in breaks and leaks …

Predictions of the expected number of failures of water distribution network pipes are
important to develop an optimal management strategy. A number of probabilistic pipe failure …

Effective planning for the renewal of water distribution systems requires accurate
quantification of the structural deterioration of water mains. Direct inspection of all water …

Two case studies are presented, where Proportional Hazards and Poisson-type models are
applied to predict failure probabilities in deteriorating water pipes. It is shown that breaks …

In this paper, the nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP), hierarchical beta process
(HBP), and a new-developed Bayesian simple model (BSM) are used for short-term failure …
