Geotechnical Risk and Safety

This book discusses geotechnical risk assessment and management and with requirements in geotechnical issues, such as planning, design, geotechnical construction, mitigation of geo-hazards, large construction projects, maintenance and life-cycle cost evaluation. The editors cover the evaluation and control of uncertainties, performance-based specifications, reliability based design and limit state design of geotechnical structures, and design code development. The coverage then turns to risk assessment and management of geohazards such as landslides and earthquakes, risk management issues concerning large geotechnical construction projects, and repair and maintenance strategies.
