Risk Assessment Procedures for Innovative Navigation Projects

摘要

This report summarizes methods and procedures to assist engineers in performing risk assessments for innovative navigation projects. Detailed descriptions of the methodologies that can be used in risk assessments are highlighted. An example float-in dam is used to document the risk assessment process. This process includes hazard identification, risk evaluation and analysis, and eventual risk mitigation. A database of historical marine construction problems and failures is also included for similar float-in construction projects. Conclusions and recommendations are made to further assist future risk assessment projects for innovative structures and to help direct additional research in this area.
