Abstract

The costs of rebuilding the Kariba Dam consist of demolition costs and construction costs. To evaluate the costs of reconstruction, we set up a model. In this model, partial least-squares regression analysis is carried out on the known construction costs of different dams through different periods. Then choose the dominant cost option from the model to establish the regression equation. Eventually, use the model to calculate the construction cost, and then according to the calculated construction cost, estimate the demolition cost.
