Hydrosystems Engineering Uncertainty Analysis - $128.95
|
Failure of hydrosystems, such
as dams, levees, storm sewers, or pollution control
systems, pose threats to the public safety and health as
well as potentially inflict enormous damages on properties
and environments.
Many failures of
hydrosystems are mainly attributed by the existence of
various uncertainties, including inherent natural
randomness and the lack of complete understanding of
involved geophysical processes.
It is therefore essential
to systematically quantify the degree of uncertainty for
the problem in hand so that reliability assessment and
risk-based design of hydrosystems can be made.
The conventional approach
of frequency analysis of heavy rainfalls or large floods
consider only portion of the uncertainties involved in
hydrosystem engineering problems.
Over the past two decades
or so, there has been a steady growth on the development
and application of uncertainty analysis techniques in
hydrosystems engineering and other disciplines.
The aim of this book is to
bring together these uncertainty analysis techniques in
one book and to demonstrate their applications and
limitations for a wide variety of hydrosystem engineering
problems.
