Risk Management for Geotechnical Engineering Hazard, Risks and Consequences
“Risk Management for Geotechnical Engineering: Hazard, Risks and Consequences” by Duncan C. Wyllie, published by CRC Press in November 2023, is a comprehensive resource that focuses on the application of risk management in soil and rock engineering projects. This edition, comprising 264 pages, provides insights into preparing reliable designs that effectively account for uncertainty in various geotechnical contexts.
Readers will find a thorough exploration of both qualitative and quantitative risk assessments, including probabilistic methods and decision analysis aimed at optimizing designs. The book includes numerous examples and case studies addressing real-world challenges such as debris flows, rock falls, tunnel stability, and dam foundations. Additionally, it covers relevant topics such as liability insurance and contract law, making it a valuable reference for practicing geotechnical engineers navigating uncertainties in site conditions and material properties.
Official synopsis Publisher
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.
