ABSTRACT

An operator of large civil engineering structures has to ensure that structural integrity is maintained to a sufficient level during in-service life, or during the total operating life if it is to be prolongated. This can be achieved by Inspection, Maintain and Repairs plans (IMR). Such plans are complex and can be expensive. This leads to the global optimization of these plans, and particularly inspection plans. In this context, we present original results on the use of inspections results in IMR plans. This approach is based on the decision and detection theory for inspection and include both the probability of false alarm and the probability of detection. It is shown how to use them. The effect of false alarm and miss detections on the global cost of inspections planning is highlighted through a general example. Endly it is shown how to rank inspections techniques on this basis.

RÉSUMÉ

Le suivi de grands ouvrages de Génie Civil passe par la mise en place de plans d'Inspection, Réparations, et Maintenance (IMR). De tels plans peuvent représenter des coûts dé-passant la moitié du prix global de construction. Afin de réduire ces coûts, une optimisation est nécessaire. L 'article se concentre sur les aspects liés aux inspections à base de contrôles non destructifs. A partir de la théorie de la détection et d'une analyse de coût simplifiée, on montre comment évaluer les surc oûts dus aux erreurs d'inspection, en soulignant l'importance des fausses détections (PFA). Enfin, à partir des courbes de performance des techniques d'inspection, il est possible d'en établir une hiérarchie. Le contexte du secteur offshore estpris comme exemple.
