Product Description

Over the past decade there has been a gradual shift away from simply relying on engineering solutions to individual landslide problems, to the use of a variety of strategies to manage the problems over a broad area. Such alternative strategies include the use of building codes, land use planning controls, preventing water leakage, early warning systems and insurance schemes. This book addresses these developments and provides a multidisciplinary perspective on landslide management. It places emphasis on the need to understand the scientific basis of landslide...

This book is intended to help professionals of a wide range of disciplines in their attempts
to reduce the social and economic risks of earthquakes. Earthquake risk reduction involves
so many issues in planning, design, regulation, quality control and risk assessment, that
it is difficult for any individual to gain a full perspective on the issue, or for any society
to move forward in the quest at the desired speed.
The principal objectives are to:
• discuss the chief aspects of earthquake risk and their evaluation;
• present methods of reducing or managing a range of earthquake risks;
• give guidance on topics where no generally accepted method is currently available;
• suggest procedures to be adopted in earthquake regions having no official zoning or
lateral force regulations; and

Managing Project Risk and Uncertainty A Constructively Simple Approach to Decision Making


This title confidently puts forward a practical, new approach to decision making in an uncertain business world.

Many variables are accounted for and the authors are innovative in integrating previous types of decision-making approaches with a more fluid, and therefore realistic model that can be applied across a wide range of contexts and decisions.

A new title on a important topic that not only stands well on its own, but also complements Chapman and Ward's previous title Project Risk Management. This book is practical and rigorous yet written in an engaging way


It is perfect for courses, or to be used by practitioners.

Accident and Design Contemporary Debates in Risk Management



An examination of different theoretical, methodological and practical approaches towards the management of risk. Seven dimensions of the debate are identified, and the case for each position is put forward, the whole discussion being set in context and perspective. This volume attempts to identify and juxtapose the contested doctrines and underlying assumptions in the field of risk management

Earthquake Resistant Design and Risk Reduction
By Dr. David J. Dowrick
Publisher: Wiley | 548 pages | 2009-09-15 | ISBN: 0470778156 | English | PDF | 5.6 MB


Product Description:

Earthquake Resistant Design and Risk Reduction, 2nd edition is based upon global research and development work over the last 50 years or more, and follows the author’s series of three books Earthquake Resistant Design, 1st and 2nd editions (1977 and 1987), and Earthquake Risk Reduction (2003). Many advances have been made since the 2003 edition of Earthquake Risk Reduction, and there is every sign that this rate of progress will continue apace in the years to come. Compiled from the author’s wide design and research experience in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology, this key text provides an excellent treatment of the complex multidisciplinary process of earthquake resistant design and risk reduction.
