A long‐span suspension bridge is going to be built in an active seismic region in Japan. The structural earthquake engineer can choose the design ground‐motion parameter with respect to three return periods: 475, 950 and 2500 years. Which is the most suitable return period to select and why? What is the associated probability of the peak ground acceleration for the return period being exceeded?

Probability, risk and uncertainty analysis for hydrological design

It gives a framework that is financially critical for finding the exceptional designs of hydrological systems with a reduced cost in total inclusive of the project cost and the disaster mitigation cost. But there would be hardly any assessment of a decent quality damage function. Hence, errors in demonstrating the hydrologic events, incorrect model parameters, and so on may occur. Here, we will discuss a specific hydrological design that of a detention basin for studying and understanding the risk-based procedure, uncertainties, and probability analysis by following a systematic framework.
