Application of Quantified Risk Analysis in Landslide Risk Management Practice-Hong Kong Experience

摘要

Landslide is a common form of natural hazard in Hong Kong that can cause significant loss-of-life and socio-economical consequences. The Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) of the Hong Kong SAR Government has implemented a comprehensive risk management regime to combat landslide problems and reduce landslide risk to the community over the last 30 years. Since the mid-1990s, the GEO has pioneered the novel development and application of Quantified Risk Analysis (QRA) for landslide risk management. This paper presents the role of QRA in Hong Kong’s landslide risk management practice and gives a selection of case examples to illustrate the successful application of QRA in providing insights in tackling a range of practical slope safety problems.
