Groups at Berkeley and Delft were both deeply engaged in modeling deterioration in civil structures, particularly flood defense structures. The plans for the conference were well under way when the dramatic floods in The Netherlands and California in the winter of 1994-1995 focused world attention on these problems. The design of civil engineering structures and systems is essentially an example of decision making under uncertainty. Although the decision making part of the process is generally acknowledged, the uncertainty in variables and param eters in the design problem is less frequently recognized. In many practical design procedures the uncertainty is concealed behind sharp probabilistic de sign targets like ‘once in a thousand years‘ combined with a standardized use of safety factors. The choice of these probabilistic design targets, however, is based | 出版日期 | Book 19971st edition | 关键词 | civil engineering; research; uncertainty | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4613-3397-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4613-3399-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4613-3397-5 | copyright | Kluwer Academic Publishers 1997 |
