Methods of reliability, risk and safety assessment are increasingly gaining importance as decision support tools in various fields of engineering. In order to utilize these methods and to exploit their potential in industrial applications, a deep understanding of the fundamental principles is necessary. The Advanced School helps engineers to better play the important role they have for society in establishing the basis for decision making.

Date and place:

Jan 27 – 31, 2025
The course location is Delft, the Netherlands.

The course is organized by:

  • The Joint Committee on Structural Safety (JCSS)
  • the Dutch Organisation for Post Academic Education PAO Techniek and Management

Who should attend?

Engineers involved in probabilistic structural analysis, design and reliability assessment, as well as engineering supervisors and managers will benefit from this course. Further, master and PhD students and academics working in the field of structural risk assessment will profit from this course. Participants are expected to have basic knowledge on basic probability theory, statistics, linear algebra and elementary structural analysis (static/dynamic).
