摘要

Bayesian networks (BNs) are directed graphical models expressing the joint probabilistic distribution of a set of random variables by the local conditional probability tables. Given the intuitive graphical nature and the ability to perform Bayesian inference between a large set of random variables efficiently, BNs have received increasing attentions in the structural reliability community. This talk will discuss the application of BNs and parameter learning techniques to the integrity management of buried oil and gas pipelines based on inspection data and observation records. Two case studies involving two major integrity threats, i.e. corrosion and third-party damage, are used to illustrate the development of the BN structures, model parametrization based on parameter learning and validation of the developed models.
