Integrated analysis methodology for reassessment and maintenance of offshore structures

In recent years, the application of modern reliability methods within the framework of classical decision theory has been investigated for applications in inspection and maintenance planning of engineering systems subject to uncertain deterioration processes. This has led to a consistent framework for evaluation of the consequences (expected costs) of different inspection and repair actions thus allowing for an optimization of the overall inspection and maintenance plan for a
given structure within its anticipated lifetime. This paper describes the development of ...
