Practical Probability and Reliability Methods for Civil and Environmental Engineering
Autor Bak Kong Lowen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 apr 2026
The book aims to overcome conceptual and implementation hurdles surrounding probability methods for civil and environmental engineers and serves as a textbook for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students. It makes use of Microsoft Excel's versatile constrained optimization Solver tool, using some simple VBA codes, including FORM, SORM, system reliability, importance sampling, direct MCS, and response surface techniques.
Solutions can be downloaded free for hands-on appreciation and deeper understanding. PowerPoint slides based on the book are available for adopting course instructors. The book pairs well with the author's Reliability-Based Design in Soil and Rock Engineering (CRC Press, 2021).

Recenzii
'Theory is most valuable when it can be used to solve practical problems. This excellent book will enable engineers to leverage probability theory in developing effective real-world solutions.'
-- Robert B. Gilbert, Chair in Civil Engineering and Distinguished Teaching Professor, The University of Texas at Austin, USA
'The book’s discussion of uncertainty, risk assessment, and the integration of modern computational approaches is excellent. With its systematic treatment of methodologies such as Monte Carlo simulation, Excel-based computational methods, and modern data statistics, the book equips engineers with the tools needed to quantify and manage uncertainty. It is a significant contribution'
