Features: This book is divided into five chapters, with the main content focusing on the risk management of engineering projects and the risk assessment of typical projects. It systematically introduces the theory and practice of construction project risk management, particularly the risk assessment, tracking, and reporting of engineering projects. It emphasizes the PML problem in quantitative risk management techniques for engineering risks. It analyzes fundamental risks such as earthquakes, floods, fires, and third-party liability, along with their characteristics. The book covers thirteen typical engineering projects, including deep foundations, roads, tunnels, bridges, docks, hydropower stations, thermal power plants, nuclear power plants, airports, rail transit projects, high-rise buildings, pipelines, and marine engineering. It provides a systematic introduction to the risk assessment of these projects, including PML analysis techniques, major risks, and controls. For convenience, it also offers references and related websites for risk assessment for different projects. Finally, it provides a detailed introduction to the risk assessment of another category of engineering insurance targets—construction machinery. The target readers of this book are various personnel engaged in engineering insurance, including employees of insurance companies, insurance agencies, insurance brokers, and insurance adjusters. It is also suitable for engineering management personnel involved in project risk management, as well as teachers and students in colleges and universities for reference.
