Applications of statistics and probability - Civil engineering reliability and risk analysis, volume 2

ICASP-7 is concerned with applications of statistics and probability in all domains of civil engineering, structural engineering and material sciences. Organized every four years since 1971, ICASP-7 brings together scientists, researchers and engineers devoted to a better understanding of uncertainty in civil engineering. The proceedings include papers selected by the national and international scientific committees. Both applied and theoretical papers deal with a large variety of topics such as: Soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering, mechanics of materials, mechanics of structures, environmental engineering and natural hazards, modeling of naturally occurring, accidental and service loads in the applications fields; decision theory, optimization techniques and codes, reliability theory, random processes and geostatistical methods, inverse problems and identification in the theoretical field.
