Engineering probabilistic design and maintenance for flood protection
1 online resource (xiii, 213 pages) : illustrations, maps
This book collects important contributions in probabilistic design, applied to the construction and maintenance of flood defense systems. Four key applications are discussed in detail, with reviews from engineers, mathematicians and problem owners. The book is suitable for graduate students and researchers.
