| Popis: | Human civilizations are threatened by natural hazards and by risks connected to technological progress in civil, chemical and nuclear engineering. The notion of acceptable risk forms the basis for the design of many engineering structures ranging from simple river levees to nuclear reactors, that contribute to human welfare. A frame work is developed to judge the acceptability of risks from an individual and a societal point of view. |
