This slide presentation outlines a study on the status and research needs of main break models. The presentation begins with a review of main break modeling that includes research on main break prediction, and then lists results of a utility survey. Findings of modeling main breaks are listed. The presentation highlights Rogers' 2006 study that
developed an approach based on frequency
of breaks, and
used a performance-based approach to
estimate the present and future state of
pipe segment from maintenance data. Topics covered include: pipe groups; probabilistic module; MCDA tool; test results; Rogers' Model Schematic; model wrap up; planning for water main renewal; conservative strategy; point systems; utility actions; and, water supply industry research.
