1. 1. Risk Estimation of Groundwater Drawdown in Subsidence Sensitive Areas

   Författare :Jonas Sundell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; uncertainty quantification; urban hydrogeology; pore pressure reduction; subsidence; geostatistics; groundwater leakage; soft soil; groundwater drawdown; spatial variability; settlement; probabilistic; risk assessment;

   Sammanfattning : Groundwater drawdown induced ground subsidence is a severe problem in many regions around the world. Leakage of groundwater into a sub-surface construction, resulting in drawdown and subsequent subsidence, can lead to immense damage costs on buildings and installations in urban areas. LÄS MER

3. 2. Integrated and Probabilistic Risk Analysis of Drinking Water Systems

   Författare :Andreas Lindhe; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water safety plan; customer minutes lost; probabilistic; fault tree analysis; risk analysis; risk; integrated; drinking water system; hazard; uncertainty;

   Sammanfattning : Drinking water supply is an essential public function but is at the same time exposed to risks. Since a totally risk-free society is not attainable, risks need to be managed efficiently to achieve an acceptable level of risk. LÄS MER

4. 3. Application of Integrated Vehicle Health Management in Automated Decision-making for Driverless Vehicles

   Författare :Xin Tao; Jonas Mårtensson; Tony Lindgren; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Driverless vehicles; Integrated vehicle health management; Automated decision-making; Fault diagnosis; Public-private partnership.; Förarlösa fordon; Integrerad fordonshälsohantering; Automatiserat beslutsfattande; Feldiagnostik; Offentligt-privat partnerskap.; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

   Sammanfattning : Vehicles are becoming increasingly complex and are prone to faults and failures, which threaten the dependability of vehicles in terms of availability, reliability, safety, and security. When vehicles are detected with certain types of faults and get into alarm situations, human drivers play a vital role in deciding what strategies and actions to take.

5. 4. HEALTH AND SAFETY RISK MANAGEMENT ON BUILDING CONSTUCTION SITES IN TANZANIA: The Practice of Risk Assessment, Communication and Control

   Författare :Sarah Phoya; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Risk control; and Process; Practice; Risk Management; Risk Communication; Health and safety risk; Construction Sites;

   Sammanfattning : The construction industry is an important part of the economy in many countries and is often seen as a driver of economic growth especially in developing countries. Owing to its relatively labour intensive nature, construction works provide opportunities for employment for a wide range of people skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled. LÄS MER

7. 5. Safety and decision-making

   Författare :Niklas Möller; Sven Ove Hansson; Nils-Eric Sahlin; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; conceptual analysis; safety; risk; epstemic uncertainty; epstemic values; values in risk assessment; risk analysis; risk management; safety engineering; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen;

   Sammanfattning : Safety is an important topic for a wide range of disciplines, such as engineering, economics, sociology, psychology, political science and philosophy, and plays a central role in risk analysis and risk management. The aim of this thesis is to develop a concept of safety that is relevant for decision-making, and to elucidate its consequences for risk and safety research and practices. LÄS MER
