93 Part II Multi-state deterioration modelling II.1 Introduction Part II focuses on Multi-State Deterioration modelling with application to sewer mains. The general research question we address here is how and to what extent is it possible to accurately model Multi-State Deterioration with applications in sewer mains? This part is structured as follows: Section II.2 summarises the nomenclature used in Part II. Section II.3 reviews the related work common to all chapters. Section II.4 presents the formal definitions used in Part II. The chapters contained here are: Chapter 5. Deterioration Modelling of Sewer Pipes via Discrete-Time Markov Chains: A Large-Scale Case Study in the Netherlands ..................111 Chapter 6. Comparing Homogeneous and Inhomogeneous Time Markov Chains for Modelling Deterioration in Sewer Pipe Networks ...................123
