Data Analytics for Engineering and Construction Project Risk Management
This book provides a step-by-step guidance on how to implement analytical methods in project risk management.The text focuses on engineering design and construction projects and as such is suitable for graduate students in engineering, construction, or project management, as well as practitioners aiming to develop, improve, and/or simplify corporate project management processes. The book places emphasis on building data-driven models for additive-incremental risks, where data can be collected on project sites, assembled from queries of corporate databases, and/or generated using procedures for eliciting experts’ judgments. While the presented models are mathematically inspired, they are nothing beyond what an engineering graduate is expected to know: some algebra, a little calculus, a little statistics, and, especially, undergraduate-level understanding of the probability theory. The book is organized in three parts and fourteen chapters. In Part I theauthors provide the general introduction to risk and uncertainty analysis applied to engineering construction projects.The basic formulations and the methods for risk assessment used during project planning phase are discussed in Part II, while in Part III the authors present the methods for monitoring and (re)assessment of risks during project execution.

Why don't construction cranes fall over in storms?
Construction cranes are designed to withstand strong winds and storms. They are built with a wide and heavy base to provide stability and counterbalance the weight of the crane's arm and load. Additionally, the crane's arm can be rotated to align with the direction of the wind, reducing the impact of the wind force. The materials used in the construction of cranes are also carefully chosen to withstand the forces of nature. Finally, cranes are equipped with safety features and monitoring systems to detect and respond to changes in wind conditions, ensuring their stability during storms.

What is the difference between civil engineering and construction engineering with a focus on project management?
Civil engineering focuses on the design and construction of infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and buildings, while construction engineering focuses on the actual construction process and management of construction projects. Project management in civil engineering involves overseeing the planning, budgeting, and scheduling of civil engineering projects, while project management in construction engineering involves coordinating the construction process, managing resources, and ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget. Both fields require a strong understanding of engineering principles and construction techniques, but civil engineering focuses more on the design and planning phase, while construction engineering focuses on the execution and management of construction projects.
-
Can you study civil engineering with a degree from a technical college, specializing in construction technology?
Yes, it is possible to study civil engineering with a degree from a technical college specializing in construction technology. Many technical colleges offer programs that provide a strong foundation in construction technology, which can be a valuable asset for pursuing a civil engineering degree. However, it is important to research the specific requirements of the civil engineering program you are interested in to ensure that your technical college degree meets the necessary prerequisites. Additionally, some universities may offer transfer programs or pathways for students with technical college degrees to transition into a civil engineering program.

What are the terms "fall distance" and "fall height"?
"Fall distance" refers to the vertical distance a person falls from their original position before coming to a stop. It is measured from the point of release to the point of landing. "Fall height" is the vertical distance between the point of release and the surface on which the person lands. Both fall distance and fall height are important factors to consider when assessing the risk of injury from a fall.

Do the balls fall simultaneously to the ground in free fall?
Yes, in a vacuum or in the absence of air resistance, two balls of different masses will fall simultaneously to the ground when dropped from the same height. This is because in free fall, all objects accelerate at the same rate due to gravity, regardless of their mass. This principle was famously demonstrated by Galileo in the 16th century and is a fundamental concept in physics known as the equivalence principle. However, in the presence of air resistance, the balls may not fall simultaneously due to the differing effects of air resistance on their masses.
