- Information
Description
Risk Management for Geotechnical Engineering:Hazard, Risks and Consequences covers the application of risk management for soil and rock engineering projects, and the preparation of reliable designs that account for uncertainty.
The book discusses qualitative risk assessments based on experience and judgement, as well as quantitative risk analysis using probabilistic methods and decision analysis to optimize designs. Many examples are included of how risk management can be applied to geotechnical engineering, with case studies presented for debris flows, rock falls, tunnel stability, and dam foundations. Also discussed are issues of liability insurance and contract law related to geotechnical engineering.
This comprehensive book is ideal for practicing geotechnical engineers, addressing the challenges of making decisions in circumstances where uncertainties exist in site conditions, material properties and analysis methods.
