  1. 1. Recommendations for Improving the Use of Risk Matrices in Coarse Risk Analyses

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Olga Selitski; Esko Roos; [2023]
    Keywords : Risk Matrix; Coarse Risk Analysis; Risk Assessment; Probability-Consequence Diagram; Guidance; Guidelines; Recommendations; Improvement.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Risk matrices are tables with rows representing consequences, and columns representing frequencies. The risk matrix is considered a simple and convenient tool for visualizing risk. However, it has faced critique from the scientific community. READ MORE

  3. 2. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
    Keywords : Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. READ MORE

  4. 3. Post-Wildfire Debris Flows: Mapping and Analysis of Risk Factors in Western North America

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Annejet Tuinstra; [2021]
    Keywords : wildfires; debris flows; water repellent soil; North America; skogsbränder; jordskred; vattenavvisande jordlager; Nordamerika;

    Abstract : Climate change is leading to in an increase in frequency and severity of wildfires, which in turn can result in the formation of runoff-initiated post-wildfire debris flows. This type of debris flows is, like most debris flows, triggered by heavy precipitation events. READ MORE

  5. 4. Probabilistic Analysis of Brake Noise : A Hierarchical Multi-fidelity Statistical Approach

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Sreedhar Venkatesan; Hariprasad Banglore Hanumantha Raju; [2018]
    Keywords : Uncertainty and variability; probabilistic analysis; hierarchicalmultifidelity statistical approach; probability of design failure; creep groan;

    Abstract : Computer Aided Engineering driven analysis is gaining grounds in automotive industry. Prediction of brake noise using CAE techniques has become populardue to its overall low cost as compared to physical testing. READ MORE

  6. 5. Sustainable Aquifer Management in Small Island Developing States : A case study of Mauritius

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Akshay Kowlesser; [2018]
    Keywords : groundwater modelling; coastal aquifers; small islands; saltwater intrusion; Mauritius; climate change;

    Abstract : Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are amongst the most vulnerable states in the world. They are subject to a number of stresses including economical, climatic and spatial restraints. This thesis investigates the effects that certain critical ‘stresses’ will have on the groundwater reserves of SIDS. READ MORE
