Reliability Measures for Risk Mitigation of Transient Surge Pressure in Water Distribution System
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
In a water distribution system, pipelines are failed catastrophically as a result of surge pressure events like pipe burst or a pipeline collapse from buckling. Authors have made a mathematical model of a water distribution system with surge protection device to enable designers in mitigating risk against surge pressure [4]. In this paper an expression is deduced for system reliability and probabilistic behavior is observed over a period of time with different surge protection devices. Since the system is of non-markovian nature, the mathematical formulation of the problem is carried out by using supplementary variable technique. The model is solved by using L.T. (Laplace Transformation) technique for reliability function.
