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 analysis techniques for engineering risks. It analyzes basic 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, pipeline engineering, 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 reference materials and relevant 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 include various personnel engaged in engineering insurance, such as employees of insurance companies, insurance agencies, insurance brokers, and insurance adjusters. It can also be used by engineering management personnel involved in project risk management and by faculty and students in universities and colleges for reference.
