| Abstract: |
Many of the Dutch hydraulic structures were designed and built between 1930 and 1950 with a life expectancy of about 50 to 80 years using the then-current standards and regulations. Signs of ageing are becoming more and more apparent. In this paper we present a sophisticated and practical way of judging and improving the performances of ageing hydraulic structures in terms of reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS). |
