Objective
This course introduces basic concepts and practical techniques on structural reliability analysis, risk analysis and decision analysis in engineering applications. Through the course, the participants will acquire knowledge and skills on the abovementioned analyses, which serve as a basis for advanced study and state-of-the-art research related to, but not restricted to, structural dynamics, probabilistic engineering mechanics, risk assessment in engineering, and engineering decision making under uncertainty.

Assessment
Assessment is made by one presentation and one report:
(1) Presentation on a selected paper
Each student chooses a scientific paper and make a presentation on the paper.
(2) Report on a selected topic
Each student chooses one of the topics introduced during the lectures in Week 1 or presented by one of the guest lecturers in Week 2 and make literature survey on the topic and submit a report on it.
