Synopsis

Explains the practical aspects of using quantitative risk assessment (QRA) to develop optimal engineering designs that mitigate the effects of natural hazards, especially on civil infrastructure. Risk ysis of any asset cannot be considered complete without consideration of natural hazards. QRA involves determining the probability of a hazard occurring and estimating the consequences. This monograph demonstrates methods for calating the vulnerability of infrastructure assets to the common natural hazards-earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods-as well as less-frequent events, such as ice storms, extreme cold, wildfires, avalanches, landslides, mud slides, and tsunamis.
