A reliability indicator based on assessment entropy of mining building and structure elements

The quality reconstruction of the mine industrial facilities is the maximum possible elimination of the identified defects. Assess the suitability of the object for further operation or reconstruction based on the inspection results of a building or structure as actual values of the controlled parameters. Provide the science-based methodology for diagnosing the technical state, assessing the reliability and physical wear for mining buildings and structures by using the probabilistic and statistical methods. A retrospective analysis of the results of surveys, collection, processing and generalization of information on states (diagnoses) and characteristic defects (diagnostic features), based on the probabilistic-statistical apparatus of technical diagnostics and elements of information theory. An assessment of state and reliability, physical wear of structures of all levels. The Kulbak-Leibler distance as a key indicator in the method of estimating the ”survivability of the element” provides for the probability distribution of the tensile strength. Developed methods of using technical diagnostics based on probabilistic statistical methods – the Bayes method, statistical solutions - including the concepts of theory information. When performing a probabilistic analysis of the technical condition of all elements, the numerical solution showed the effectiveness of the proposed diagnostic methodology. The innovative method is to analyze and assess the reliability of mine facilities using a mathematical modeling to determine the probabilistic characteristics of defects in structural elements. The analysis method in the survey allows for determining the technical state of the object, the set of further measures, effective planning the operating and restoring costs.
