Abstract
The notions of risk assessment, risk management, acceptable risk and risk mitigation are addressed, and the State-of-Practice of geo-risk assessment and risk mitigation is exemplified with case studies. The examples illustrate the assessment of hazard, vulnerability and risk, and the treatment (mitigation) of risk under different design situations, including underwater slopes subjected to earthquake hazard, the stability of quick clays, and the potential breach of embankment dams.
