Description
This book delineates the methods required by government agencies for river and sea defense design and flood defense system management and demonstrates how to evaluate uncertainty in the performance of flood and erosion defenses. It introduces the statistical concepts required for the implementation of a reliability analysis and describes the analytical and the numerical methods with worked examples. The author provides examples of applications of the methods to illustrate their advantages and limitations, and includes case studies drawn from his experience in academia and consulting.
