Prescriptive and risk-based methods including qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative approaches exist for the risk assessment of road tunnels. This paper provides an overview and a brief discussion of these methods and uses representative traffic and accident data in Greece in a typical tunnel conforming with the minimum infrastructure requirements of the European Directive 2004/54/EC to...
Assessing the third-party payment risk is to use scientific methods and forecast risk, which could provide executive scientific basis. Qualitative analysis and quantified analysis are dialectical and unified. To analyze the third-party payment risk assessment with the methods of AHP and vague general evaluation model, the third-party payment business is showed as an example for research. The conclusions...

This paper gives a vivid insight on the various hazards associated with the design (while the design is still in its earliest stages) as well as the appropriate measures that may be incorporated into the design to deal with the hazards of the Marine Oil Facilities in Kuwait concerned with the expansion of the harbor facilities, refurbishment of the existing structures and piers. The main purpose of...
University Town has specific set of characteristics (e.g. spatial distribution of building heights and structures, electrical equipment, highly dense human population) that determine the likelihood of lightning occurrence. In many cases the safety of faculty members, students, buildings and equipment is severely affected by lightning incident. However, regardless of its importance the research related...
The risk level of potential environmental pollution accidents in a chemical plant is determined by a number of criteria, and the risk assessment and ranking of potential accidents among a limited number of chemical plants is a multi-criteria process in which the fuzziness and relativity should be considered. So the paper proposed a fuzzy ranking methodology for risk assessment, which does not calculate...
Since 2007, several 10000TEU container ships of COSCO have been put into operation. Compared with the general container ships, its size and power are unparalleled. Obviously, it is a giant in the sea! However, we must have a clear understanding that there are also many risks existing in such ships. Once these risks expose, it would be more serious than the general large container ships. Therefore,...
Based on a thorough investigation of the pilotage accidents in Shanghai harbour during last 13 years and other effective ways for getting the information about the dangers of the pilotage, the pilotage risks in various navigating areas of Shanghai harbour are presented. Through the analysis of the practical traffic situation and assessment of the pilotage risks, the detailed proposals and systematic...
