Predicting Deterioration of Navigation Steel Hydraulic Structures with Markov Chain and Latin Hypercube Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE: The deterioration of elements of steel hydraulic structures (SHS) on our nation’s lock system is caused by combined effects of several complex phenomena: corrosion, cracking and fatigue, impact, and overloads. This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note presents examples of deterioration and a method for predicting future deterioration based on current conditions. In a companion Technical Note (Riveros and Arredondo 2010), the procedure for generating the deterioration rate curves are presented and explained with practical examples.

متن کاملDeveloping a conceptual model based upon the Latin Hypercube Sampling for integrating OHS into project risk evaluation
Abstract Project management in construction industry, in many cases, is imperfect with respect to the integration of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) risks. This imperfection exhibits itself as complications affecting the riskiness of industrial procedures and is illustrated usually by poor awareness of OHS within project teams. Difficulties on OHS regularly came about in the construction i...
