Not applicable.

After completing the course the student will understand and be able to carry out the basic risk analysis of supporting structures.

There are no special requirements.

Not applicable.

Tuition takes place via lectures and seminars. The lectures focus on the explanation of basic principles, the methods of the given discipline, problems and example solutions. The seminars mainly support practical mastery of the subject matter presented in lectures or assigned for individual study with the active participation of students.

A condition for the award of the credit is the production of a semestral project. The test will consist of written and oral parts. It is necessary to pass the written part before the oral part can be completed.

1. Introduction and definition of the subject, and the design, reliability and safety of built structures, as well as the risks affecting them. Portfolio of risks.
2. Risk analysis - the types of risks, risk assessment.
3. Basic concepts of analysis and modelling.
4. Randomness and reliability engineering.
5. Decision-making, forensic expertise and experts.
6. Reliability of structures (and systems), modelling.
7. Examples of application of reliability analysis to structures (systems).
8. Technical risk analysis - the identification of dangerous phenomena, the qualification of danger, risk quantification.
9. Tools for the quantification of risks (Monte Carlo method, forensic methods), and their application to structural engineering.
10. Tools for the quantification of risk (genetic algorithms, artificial neural networks).
11. Definition of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis.
12. Technical aspects of risk issues in structural engineering, optimization.
13. The system of risk management within an organization.

Not applicable.

Students will be introduced to the basic concepts of risk-based approaches to the assessment of supporting structures, and the systemic approach to risk identification. After completing the course, students will be capable of performing the analysis and modelling of problems in the area of risk engineering, and possess the ability to articulate the critical points (identification of dangerous sites) of a construction project or existing structures.
