Rockfall Protection

Abstract. Rockfall protection net fences are key protection systems in mountainous areas worldwide to ensure the safety of infrastructures, roads and urban areas against rockfall. Management of the maintenance of rockfall protection net fences is fundamental for public administrations in order to guarantee risk mitigation. This paper deals with the assessment of the installation problems and deterioration of rockfall protection net fences, using numerical modelling in order to evaluate the influence of these issues on their behaviour. A percentage of the residual efficiency is assessed as a useful tool for risk analysis and maintenance planning.

Two Phases

Aktivitas rantai pasok bahan baku memiliki peluang risiko seperti pemesanan bahan, keterlambatan pemasok saat pengiriman, serta kendala dari risiko perusahaan sendiri. Maka dilakukan analisa risiko dan penanganan aksi mitigasi risiko. Penelitian menggunakan model House Of Risk 2 fase. Pertama yaitu fase mengidentifikasi risiko dan agen risiko, kemudian diukur tingkat severity dan occurance serta dihitung nilai aggregate risk priority (ARP). Kedua fase penanganan risiko prioritas dari hasil fase pertama. Hasil penelitian menunjukan dua sebab yang harus diprioritaskan untuk ditangani agar mitigasi resiko menjadi optimal yaitu permintaan tidak memberikan spesifikasi ditanggani dengan membuat komunikasi yang lancar antara perusahaan. Untuk permintaan yang mendadak dapat ditangani dengan membuat penjadwalan ulang.   Raw material supply chain activities have risk opportunities such as ordering materials, supplier delays when shipping, and constraints from the company's own risk. Then the risk analysis and handling of risk mitigation actions are carried out. Research using the House of Risk 2 phase model. First is the phase of identifying risks and risk agents, then the level of severity and occurance is measured and the aggregate risk priority (ARP) value is calculated. The two phases of priority risk management from the results of the first phase. The results of the study show two reasons that must be prioritized to be handled so that risk mitigation is optimal, that is, requests not to provide specifications are handled by making smooth communication between companies. For sudden requests, it can be handled by rescheduling.

Fire Following Earthquake

Earthquake-induced fire is a critical earthquake-related hazard. Large fires following an earthquake have been often of catastrophic proportions in urban areas. In fact, particular building characteristics and density, electric or gas wires, fuel tanks, meteorological conditions can combine to create a situation in which fire following earthquake is the predominant agent of damage. In addition, in case of earthquake the fire protection systems can break, besides structural fire performances may be strongly reduced due to possible earthquake-induced damage. This paper shows a brief overview on the fire following earthquake risk, with reference to a building scale and a regional scale approaches.

Flood Risk Analysis

Abstract. This article presents a methodology for estimating flood risk in urban areas integrating pluvial flooding, river flooding and failure of both small and large dams. The first part includes a review of basic concepts on flood risk analysis, evaluation and management. Flood risk analyses may be developed at local, regional and national level, however a general methodology to perform a quantitative flood risk analysis including different flood hazards is still required. The second part describes the proposed methodology, which presents an integrated approach – combining pluvial, river flooding and flooding from dam failure, as applied to a case study: an urban area located downstream of a dam under construction. The methodology enhances the approach developed within the SUFRI project ("Sustainable Strategies of Urban Flood Risk Management to cope with the residual risk", 2009–2011). This article also shows how outcomes from flood risk analysis provide better and more complete information to inform authorities, local entities and the stakeholders involved in decision-making with regard to flood risk management.

Flooding Risk

Abstract. Risk analysis has become a top priority for authorities and stakeholders in many European countries, with the aim of reducing flooding risk, considering the population's needs and improving risk awareness. Within this context, two methodological pieces have been developed in the period 2009–2011 within the SUFRI project (Sustainable Strategies of Urban Flood Risk Management with non-structural measures to cope with the residual risk, 2nd ERA-Net CRUE Funding Initiative). First, the "SUFRI Methodology for pluvial and river flooding risk assessment in urban areas to inform decision-making" provides a comprehensive and quantitative tool for flood risk analysis. Second, the "Methodology for investigation of risk awareness of the population concerned" presents the basis to estimate current risk from a social perspective and identify tendencies in the way floods are understood by citizens. Outcomes of both methods are integrated in this paper with the aim of informing decision making on non-structural protection measures. The results of two case studies are shown to illustrate practical applications of this developed approach. The main advantage of applying the methodology herein presented consists in providing a quantitative estimation of flooding risk before and after investing in non-structural risk mitigation measures. It can be of great interest for decision makers as it provides rational and solid information.

An attempt to study the role of risk management from the perspective of an entrepreneur is made in this article. The main goal of this article is to identify the main patterns that define the characteristics of risk assessment in business as the main element contributing to the achievement of economic security of the organization. Methods of cognition, retrospective and documentary analysis, as well as synthesis, generalization, and systematization were used in the article. The goal is to study methods for assessing entrepreneurial risks. The object of the study is public relations associated with the formation of the risk management institution at the micro level. Various types of economic risks, methods of risk analysis and assessment, as well as risk mitigation strategies are explored in the article. Various risk management methods are used in the modern economic analysis. The most efficient way to reduce risk in conditions of instability of the economic and political situation in Russia is diversification, i.e., risk sharing among several business participants. The specifics of applying the project risk analysis methods in practice are explored.

Abstract. This article presents a methodology for estimating flood risk in urban areas integrating pluvial flooding, river flooding and failure of both small and large dams. The first part includes a review of basic concepts and existing methods on flood risk analysis, evaluation and management. Traditionally, flood risk analyses have focused on specific site studies and qualitative or semi-quantitative approaches. However, in this context, a general methodology to perform a quantitative flood risk analysis including different flood hazards was still required. The second part describes the proposed methodology, which presents an integrated approach – combining pluvial, river flooding and dam failure, as applied to a case study: a urban area located downstream a dam under construction. Such methodology represents an upgrade of the methodological piece developed within the SUFRI project. This article shows how outcomes from flood risk analysis provide better and more complete information to inform authorities, local entities and the stakeholders involved on decision-making with regard to flood risk management.

Project Risk Analysis

This paper describes the method of project risk analysis based on design thinking and explores the possibility of its application for industrial investment projects. Traditional and suggested approaches to project risk management have been compared. Several risk analysis artifacts have been added to the standard list of artifacts. An iterative procedure for the formation of risk analysis artifacts has been developed, with the purpose of integrating the risk management process into strategic and prompt decision-making during project management. A list of tools at each stage of design thinking for risk management within the framework of real investment projects has been proposed. The suggested technology helps to determine project objectives and content and adapt them in regards to possible; as well as to implement measures aimed at reducing these risks, to increase productivity of the existing risk assessment and risk management tools, to organize effective cooperation between project team members, and to promote accumulation of knowledge about the project during its development and implementation.The authors declare no conflict of interest.
