Climate-Resilient Infrastructure: Adaptive Design and Risk Management, MOP 140
Climate-Resilient Infrastructure: Adaptive Design and Risk Management, MOP 140, provides guidance for and contributes to the developing or enhancing of methods for infrastructure analysis and design in a world in which risk profiles are changing and can be projected with varying degrees of uncertainty requiring a new design philosophy to meet this challenge.
Infrastructure Risk Management Process
This CDRM Monograph discusses quantification of exposure and vulnerability of complex, spatially distributed systems, yielding estimates of local and systemwide potential losses for different alternatives in multihazard decision situations. These situations require an integration of scientific, engineering, social, administrative, psychological, and political processes with advances, setbacks, and many uncertainties. This monograph consists of eight papers that illustrate work done to date and plans for work to be done on managing these risks for potable water, electric power, transportation, and other infrastructure systems threatened by earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, severe storms, saboteurs, and various other hazards. Topics include: Hazard Issues; Systems Evaluation Issues; Risk Criteria Issues; and Systems Management Issues.
Quantitative Risk Management and Decision Making in Construction
Quantitative Risk Management and Decision Making in Construction introduces valuable techniques for weighing and evaluation alternatives in decision making with a focus on quantitative risk analysis for identifying, quantifying, and mitigating risks associated with construction projects.
