The　condition　of　drainage　pipes　greatly　affects　the　urban　environment　and　human　health.　However,　it　is　difficult　to　carry　out　economical　and　efficient　pipeline　investigation　and　evaluation　due　to　the　location　and　structure　of　drainage　pipes.　Herein,　the　four　most-commonly　used　drainage　pipeline　evaluation　standards　have　been　synthesized　and　analyzed　to　summarize　the　deterioration　and　breakage　patterns　of　drainage　pipes.　The　common　pipe　breakage　patterns　are　also　summarized　by　integrating　the　literature　and　engineering　experience.　To　systematically　describe　the　condition　of　drainage　pipes,　a　system　of　influencing　factors　for　the　condition　of　pipes,　including　physical,　environmental,　and　operational　factors,　has　been　established,　and　the　mechanism　of　action　of　each　influencing　factor　has　been　summarized.　Physical,　statistical,　and　AI　models　and　their　corresponding　representative　models　have　been　categorized,　and　the　research　progress　of　current　mainstream　drainage-pipe　deterioration　and　breakage　prediction　models　are　reviewed　in　terms　of　their　principles　and　progress　in　their　application.　©　2023　by　the　authors.
