Civil engineers are responsible for designing and constructing infrastructure that is safe, reliable, and efficient. To do this, they need to be able to understand and manage risk. Probability, statistics, and decision analysis are essential tools for risk analysis, and they are increasingly being used in civil engineering practice.

This book provides a comprehensive to the fundamental principles of probability, statistics, and decision theory as applied to civil engineering planning and risk analysis. It covers topics such as:

Probability distributions
Statistical inference
Bayesian analysis
Decision analysis
Risk assessment

The text is written for undergraduate and graduate students in civil engineering and practicing engineers who need to understand the principles of risk analysis and decision-making under uncertainty.
