Hydraulic structures : probabilistic approaches to maintenance

Wunderlich applies his considerable experience to the study of risk within the field of maintaining hydraulic structures, starting from assessing and implementing the maintenance of the infrastructure, including assessing its state and the record of its maintenance, applying elements and methods of probability to the hydraulic structure, calculating risk and other aspects of maintenance with random variables, using probability in assessing systems and setting maintenance, and managing risk itself, including understanding the nature of risk, risk transfer, objective and subjective risk evaluation, and evaluation.
