1 Introduction
Chapter 10, Defining probabilities of events, discusses how probabilities of single events can be evaluated and updated, and delivers some examples of portfolio
analyses.
Chapter 11 focuses attention on the most frequent failure mode of dams—instability—and delves into the details of its analysis.
Chapter 12, Defining consequences, explains how to consider the multidimensional
aspect of hazard consequences.
Chapter 13 discusses risk tolerance from approaches both historic and modern.
Chapter 14, Risk Assessment for the twenty-first century, delves into the methodological details of modern risk assessments in compliance with the “specs” defined
in Part I, and in particular Chap. 6.
Part III: Case Histories and a Look into the Future
Chapter 15, Risk-Informed Decision-Making, is a set of case histories used as
deployment examples.
Chapter 15 features a series of Risk-Informed Decision-Making case histories,
deployments examples.
Chapter 16, One last word, includes some important notes on what the reader should
be able to perform using this book.
Finally, Chapter 17, Path forward, defines what the possible evolution of world-class
procedures should be.
