INTEGRATE RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT AND RISK ANALYSISINTO PLANNING, DESIGN, AND MANAGEMENT

This comprehensive text is the first to integrate reliability analysis and risk assessment into the planning, design, and management of hydrosystems. Written by internationally respected authorities, Hydrosystems Engineering Reliability Assessment and Risk Analysis provides the tools for designing safer, more reliable dams, storm sewer networks, water treatment plants, and pollution control systems.

Offering example problems that demonstrate the prediction of safety and reliability under different design scenarios, the authors illustrate the application of mathematical tools that quantify reliability and risk. With this book readers can improve the performance, durability (through maintenance scheduling/time to failure analysis), and predictability of hydrosystem designs.

Hydrosystems Engineering Reliability Assessment and Risk Analysis:

Brings together in a single resource mathematical risk and reliability analysis methods needed to improve planning, design, and performance of hydrosystemsDemonstrates statistical and probability tools for solving a broad range of hydrosystem engineering problemsProvides the tools needed to predict hydrosystem project behavior and lifespan under various risk scenariosShows engineers and students how to conduct risk and reliability assessmentsOffers examples of each application, in both U.S. and international unitsProvides sets of Q & A's for self-testing after every chapter
