Risk and Reliability: Coastal and Hydraulic Engineering sets out
the methods which are increasingly being required by Government
Agencies for river and sea defence design and flood defence system
management. And it shows how to describe uncertainty in the
performance of flood and erosion defences.
It introduces the key statistical concepts required for the
implementation of a reliability analysis, and the analytical and
the numerical methods are each described with worked examples.
Example applications of the methods are given to illustrate their
advantages and limitations, together with case studies drawn from
the author s experience of academia and consultancy. It draws
together scattered material and provides coastal and hydraulic
engineers with an accessible entry to reliability analysis and
thence to the cutting-edge literature.
This book suits advanced undergraduates and MSc students of
flood and coastal defence. It also serves as a helpful source of
information for consultants, practitioners and academics.
