Features: This book is divided into five chapters, with the main content focusing on engineering project risk management and typical project risk assessment. It systematically introduces the theory and practice of construction project risk management, particularly emphasizing the risk assessment, tracking, and reporting of engineering projects. It provides in-depth explanations of the PML problem in quantitative risk management techniques for engineering projects. The book analyzes fundamental risks such as earthquakes, floods, fires, and third-party liability, along with their characteristics. It 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, pipeline engineering, and marine engineering. The book systematically introduces the risk assessment of these projects, including PML analysis techniques, major risks, and controls. Additionally, for the convenience of users, it provides references and relevant websites for risk assessment for different projects. Finally, it offers a detailed introduction to the risk assessment of another category of engineering insurance targets—construction machinery. The target readers of this book include various personnel engaged in engineering insurance, such as employees of insurance companies, insurance agencies, insurance brokers, and insurance adjusters. It is also suitable for engineering management personnel involved in project risk management and students and faculty at universities and colleges for reference.
