This paper addresses the use of reliability techniques
such as Rosenblueth¿s Point-Estimate Method (PEM)
as a practical alternative to more precise Monte Carlo approaches
to get estimates of the mean and variance of ...
[EN] The proposed procedure combines the concepts of the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI) guidelines to develop fragility curves for the nuclear industry with existing reliability techniques for computing fragility ...
[EN] In recent years, the application of risk analysis to inform dam safety governance has increased significantly. In this framework, considering explicitly and independently both natural and epistemic uncertainty in ...

[ES] En este documento se presenta una herramienta para la priorización de actuaciones en seguridad de presas a partir de los resultados de un proceso previo de Análisis de Riesgo. Los resultados son analizados a través ...
Dam safety based on risk analysis methodologies demand quantification of the risk of the dam-reservoir system. This means that, for a given initial state of the system, and for the several failure modes considered, it is ...
[EN] Risk analysis can provide very suitable and useful information to manage the safety of critical civil infrastructures. Indeed, results of quantitative risk models can be used to inform prioritisation of safety investments ...
This article presents a methodology for estimating flood risk in urban areas integrating pluvial flooding, river flooding and failure of both small and large dams. The first part includes a review of basic concepts on flood ...

Risk analysis is a useful tool for decision making due to its capacity to
integrate all information regarding the safety of a dam or any other critical
infrastructure. In this paper, a software ...
