Probabilistic risk and hazard assessment : proceedings of the conference on probabilistic risk and hazard assessment, Newcastle, N.S.W., Australia, 22-23 September, 1993.

Includes bibliographies and index

Probabilistic risk and hazard assessments are currently applied to a wide range of engineering systems and there is often a large degree of commonality between these assessment procedures. This book highlights the multi-disciplinary nature of these assessment procedures and includes recent developments in the following topics: hazard scenario analysis (e.g. HAZOP, FMEA); probabalistic risk assessments; consequence modelling; structural reliability; human error; uncertainty analysis; and risk analysis. These topics are related to the design, construction and operation of chemical and process plants; nuclear facilities; bridges and buildings; offshore structures; and dams
