Uncertainty Analysis

StarStarStarStar

The study of uncertainty sources within risk assessment and their potential impact. Involves statistical techniques such as Monte Carlo simulations.

StarStarStarStar

Hazard Identification

StarStarStarStar

The process of recognizing that a hazard exists and defining its characteristics. Performed by site inspection, historic data analysis, and consultation with experts.

StarStarStarStar

Risk Communication

StarStarStarStar

The exchange of information about risk among decision-makers, stakeholders, and the public. Essential for the transparent decision-making process.

StarStarStarStar

Quantitative Risk Assessment

StarStarStarStar

Objective assessment of risk using numerical values for probabilities and magnitude of impact. Utilizes statistical data and mathematical modelling.

StarStarStarStar

Soil Liquefaction Assessment

StarStarStarStar

Evaluating the risk and potential consequences of soil liquefaction during seismic events. Performed using field tests like SPT, CPT, and analysis of geological conditions.

StarStarStarStar

Geotechnical Monitoring

StarStarStarStar

Periodic or continuous surveillance of geotechnical conditions through instruments and site inspections to manage risk associated with ground conditions.

StarStarStarStar

Qualitative Risk Assessment

StarStarStarStar

Subjective assessment of risk using descriptive terms or categories. Method includes expert opinions and comparative risk ranking.

StarStarStarStar

Slope Stability Analysis

StarStarStarStar

The assessment of the safety of earth slopes and the potential for landslides. Involves the use of stability charts, limit equilibrium methods, and numerical modeling.

StarStarStarStar

Risk Analysis

StarStarStarStar

Determining the nature and level of risks by analyzing potential hazards and evaluating existing conditions of vulnerability. Uses probabilistic models and reliability analysis.

StarStarStarStar

Foundation Risk Management

StarStarStarStar

The identification, analysis, and response planning for risks associated with foundation construction. Involves load tests, soil investigations, and construction monitoring.

StarStarStarStar

Risk Management

StarStarStarStar

The process of making and carrying out decisions that will minimize the impact of risk on an organization. Involves risk analysis, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies.

StarStarStarStar

Mitigation Measures

StarStarStarStar

Strategies and actions implemented to reduce or eliminate risks associated with geotechnical engineering. These include reinforcement, grouting, and drainage systems among others.
