Sommario/riassunto

The late professor JM Van Noortwijk (1961-2008) worked to bridge the practice of mathematical modeling with solving complex problems in civil engineering. This book contains an overview of his work, and covers topics such as condition-based maintenance optimization using the gamma process, and the assessment and management of flood risks.
