Risk Assessment and Risk Communication in Civil Engineering
Original language description
The design of buildings and civil engineering structures involves a consideration of safety, lifetime performance and environmental aspects. The risks may be related to structuräl collapse, collisions, explosions and fires in buildings and in tunnels, flooding, accidents at industrial or nuclear plants, and so on. In this fundamental area of decision making about the safety, engineers have to communicate with their clients and the general public or, more usually, the politicians on its behalf. Communication between engineers themselves and between engineers and authorities, their clients or the general public is often difficult. Further the perception of some actual failure and the over-reaction to it, by both the public and the authorities, frequentlyprevents a rational treatment of similar structures in the future. In this report, the various aspects of this challenging subject are addressed. Both the risk evaluation and the decision making process will be treated.
