Risk Management for Geotechnical Engineering

This covers the application of risk management for soil and rock engineering projects, and the preparation of reliable designs that account for uncertainty. It discusses qualitative risk assessments based on experience and judgment, as well as quantitative risk analysis using probabilistic methods and decision analysis to optimize designs.
