Publisher's Synopsis
Future events are largely unpredictable, but statistics and probabilistic approaches provide powerful tools for managing risks. This book address current and developing theories, applied research, and innovative applications in broad areas including reliability theory, uncertainty modeling and analysis, stochastic method, life cycle assessment, performance-based engineering, and risk assessment and management. It focuses onapplications of probability theory and statistics in all aspects of civil engineering and related fields, including aerospace engineering, earthquake engineering, environmental engineering, nuclear engineering, transportation, and wind engineering.
