Abstract
There are many ways to approach risk modeling for geotechnical applications, some highly refined, some fairly simple; some highly mathematical, and some relying mostly on expert judgment. What one best uses depends on the problem at hand, the adequacy of the data and assumptions, and the time and budget available. The paper draws on three examples of appropriate levels of analysis from projects that the authors have recently been involved with: (1) the question of screening for levee safety in flood hazard damage reduction inventories, (2) mine waste safety studies, and (3) the IPET risk studies in New Orleans.
