Risk, Reliability and Sustainable Remediation in the Field of Civil and Environmental Engineering. This item is unavailable.Risk, Reliability and Sustainable Remediation in the Field of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Risk, Reliability and Sustainable Remediation in the Field of Civil and Environmental Engineering illustrates the concepts of risk, reliability analysis, its estimation, and the decisions leading to sustainable development in the field of civil and environmental engineering. The book provides key ideas on risks in performance failure and structural failures of all processes involved in civil and environmental systems, evaluates reliability, and discusses the implications of measurable indicators of sustainability in important aspects of multitude of civil engineering projects. It will help practitioners become familiar with tolerances in design parameters, uncertainties in the environment, and applications in civil and environmental systems.

Furthermore, the book emphasizes the importance of risks involved in design and planning stages and covers reliability techniques to discover and remove the potential failures to achieve a sustainable development.

• Contains relevant theory and practice related to risk, reliability and sustainability in the field of civil and environment engineering
• Gives firsthand experience of new tools to integrate existing artificial intelligence models with large information obtained from different sources
• Provides engineering solutions that have a positive impact on sustainability

Rahman Khatibi is a dedicated researcher, professional engineer and manager with an over 30 years successful track record in managing and developing strategies for water systems covering: research, presenting training courses, lecturing (part-time), design, modelling, developing software and writing proposals. He contributed to (i) generalise theory of evolution, (ii) arithmetic calculus, (iii) risk aggregation and (iv) inclusive multiple models for artificial intelligence. He worked in the water/environmental industry specialising on modelling water waves in open channels and closed conduits, as well as using artificial intelligence techniques, chaos/catastrophe theories and other time series analysis techniques. Currently he is engaged in scholarly research in integrating evolutionary thinking, systems science and complexity science together towards a model of GTE.
