Construction Engineering Bidding Risk Analysis
Advanced Materials Research, 2013In the Bill of Quantities mode, the bidder must take risks of his tender offer. This paper researched on the uncertainty of construction projects costs, proposed Monte Carlo simulation method and procedure to simulate the construction projects costs on the basis of the construction projects costs conform to the characteristics of normal distribution ...

System Engineering Workshare Risk Analysis
Volume 4b: 11th Design for Manufacturing and the Lifecycle Conference, 2006In today’s global economy, companies develop products not only to target a single market, but to sell them to the entire world. Companies that realize the importance of collaborative design develop regional engineering centers worldwide to balance design variations while ensuring local market success. This paradigm enables diverse customer values to be

Risk and risk analysis in rock engineering
Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 1996Abstract Risk analysis and decision-making procedures are being applied to large engineering projects with increasing frequency. Risk analysis is a versatile tool in decision-making, whether the decisions are in the form of an engineering design, selecting particular construction procedures, or more general decisions made by private or public ...

Engineering seismic risk analysis
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1968Abstract This paper introduces a method for the evaluation of the seismic risk at the site of an engineering project. The results are in terms of a ground motion parameter (such as peak acceleration) versus average return period. The method incorporates the influence of all potential sources of earthquakes and the average activity rates ...

Driftwood: Risk Analysis and Engineering Measures
Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 2013AbstractTransported driftwood and woody debris during floods may lead to accumulations and blockages at river bridges or weirs, and can result in excessive scour or an increase in backwater that may lead to flooding of the nearby areas. Although driftwood-related problems occur predominantly in forested mountainous regions, driftwood may eventually ...

RACE: Risk analysis for cooperative engines
2015 7th International Conference on New Technologies, Mobility and Security (NTMS), 2015Nowadays, Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) are not fiction anymore. Prototypes of self-driving vehicles are flourishing everywhere, e.g. Google driverless car. These new generation vehicles are not only intelligent as they do not need human intervention during cruise, but they also communicate together creating a cooperative network ...
