Description: This course explores methods for practical risk-based decision support, particularly for infrastructure systems. Uncertainty quantification (UQ) to external events including natural hazards is at the core of risk-informed design, operation, and mitigation actions. UQ will also guide engineering practice in the future as established by ASCE. The course emphasizes decision theory, Bayesian approaches, risk analysis tools, and infrastructure safety.
