| Research Abstract |
This study proposes a methodology for determining the maintenance/replacement strategy of infrastructure by using techniques of stochastic dynamic programming. Infrastructures may be degraded during a long service life and the process of degradation itself is stochastic. Then strategy should be derived so as to maximize the process of degradation itself is stochastic. Then strategy should be derived so as to maximize the expected economic value of infrastructure with modeling of degradation as a stochastic process.
This study first shows a general framework that the degradation is modeled by stochastic differential equation and the objective function is defined as the discounted sum of net benefit flow over the project life. The mathematical features in the framework are examined and economic interpretations are discussed.
Then the study presents the particular model for a road bridge which may be degraded by fatigue. The degradation is modeled as Markov Chain. The model is applied to the real case and to show the exact strategy of infrastructure management.
