The course aims to provide participants with an understanding of the fundamental elements of risk analysis and structural reliability. It will also introduce the concepts of uncertainty modelling in load and strength applications. Practical applications for the safety assessment of engineering structures, considering the key techniques involved, will be highlighted. Emphasis will be on the use of reliability engineering methods in offshore and marine structures.

The syllabus will include: basic elements of the safety case concept, hazard identification techniques, risk assessment, risk reduction, safety management systems, uncertainties in load and strength predictions, structural reliability and the goal-setting approach to safety. The course is intended for practising engineers and research scientists who need to understand the concepts behind risk analysis and structural reliability, to interact with experts in safety management or to begin to undertake a more extensive study of the subject.

Who Should Attend

Engineers, managers and scientists involved in design, assessment and management of a wide range of public and industrial facilities. Personnel from Local Authorities, major facilities operating companies will benefit from attending this course.
