Risk Management for Geotechnical Engineering:
Hazard, Risks, and Consequences delves into the realm of risk management for soil and rock engineering projects, emphasizing the preparation of reliable designs that account for the inherent uncertainty. The book explores both qualitative risk assessments, relying on experience and judgment, and quantitative risk analysis, employing probabilistic methods and decision analysis to optimize designs. Numerous real-world examples are provided, showcasing the practical application of risk management in geotechnical engineering, encompassing scenarios such as debris flows, rock falls, tunnel stability, and dam foundations. Additionally, the book addresses pertinent issues related to liability insurance and contract law, which are crucial aspects of geotechnical engineering. This comprehensive text serves as a valuable resource for practicing geotechnical engineers, equipping them with the tools necessary to navigate the complexities of decision-making in environments where site conditions, material properties, and analysis methods exhibit uncertainties.
