Risk Assessment in Engineering

Geology has not substantially

improved in recent years

Emre ALTINTAS, 2017

What is risk assessment?
Reconize the risks
Measure them
Mitigate their impacts

What links are there between risk and Engineering geology?

Unpredictible natural coinditions (Slope, Flood)
Engineering geologists develop geological models to guide for people

Why we discuss about risk assessment?

Harmful disasters affect humanity
insufficient measures taken by Governments cause huge demages on Economy and Societies
 mplement of enhancements to flood risk management in a
particular place is sufficient by using temporary barriers (Cabinet
Office, DEFRA, 2016: 18)
[s]ince 2003-2004 capital investment for flood has provided better
protection for over 500,000 homes in England, it is planned to
protect 300,000 properties and the cost of flood will be 30 billion
pound in 2021 (Environmental Agency, 2016 : 28).

Flood costs approximately 5 billion pound
