TC304 - RISK
ENGINEERING PRACTICE OF RISK ASSESSMENT AND
MANAGEMENT
Chair: K.K. Phoon
TERMS OF REFERENCE
The goals of TC32 are to promote and enhance professional
activities and education in geotechnical and geo-environmental
engineering, in areas related to:
Geostatistics and probabilistic site characterisation
Quantification of uncertainties in performance prediction
Reliability-based design
Risk-based decision analysis
Calibration of LRFD-type geotechnical design codes
Project risk management
Task forces and task force leaders
TF1: Interaction with industry (Farrokh Nadim)
Deliverables: Coordinate/organise short courses for
practitioners
TF2: Compilation of guidelines and other technical resources
(Vaughan Griffiths)
Deliverables: Collect relevant guidelines and risk-
related international resources from
industry, government and academe.
TF3: Coordination with broader risk community: (Martin van
Staveren)
Deliverables: See proposal by Martin van Staveren;
final
report
with
practical
recommendations for combining and
integrating discipline-based geotechnical
risk management with broader and more
generic project risk management in theory
and practice.
