Report on Whole Life Cycle Analysis ToolA network level whole life-cycle analysis model that can be used by practitioners to investigate the impact of the application of alternative maintenance regimes to earthworks, structures and track considering cost, risk and operational effect. The model will draw on stochastic deterioration and loading models and on risk models developed under WP2 and WP3 respectively. In this way the model will facilitate quantitative evaluation of not only to the probability of a failure but also the associated consequences. Programme: H2020-EU.3.4. - Topic(s): MG-2.1-2014 |

Report on risk assessment methodologyA report on the risk assessment methodology developed which that takes into consideration the probability of occurrence of the events (e.g. floodwaters deeper than x meters) to which the infrastructure objects will be subjected and the probability of the infrastructure objects providing different levels of service following an event (e.g. due to a flood the rail line is closed for two days but then reopened without need to execute an intervention, or is closed for two months until it can be rebuilt).

Report on Assessment of BridgesThe application of the algorithms developed in Tasks 2.1 and 2.2 for the assessment of performance of railway structures will be demonstrated through consideration of a case study bridge, the Boyne Viaduct in County Louth, Ireland. Probabilistic assessment of the structure will identify hot spot locations for instrumentation and monitoring. Subsequently the multi criteria performance optimization algorithms developed will be employed to study the implication of load evolution, deterioration and alternative rehabilitation strategies for this landmark structure.
