Week 2.8 Preparation
This MR prepares content.
Notes are added to the top of the page to indicate optional material. This is a good case study for developing automatic page-parsing tools.
Notes about scope:
- change name to "Risk Analysis"
- the main goal is to construct and evaluate risk curves
- much of the Risk Evaluation chapter is optional, for background reading
- last page, Risk Evaluation: Safety Standards: Limits..., is essential
- Dam Exercise: parts 3 and 4 are required
- Risk Definition, Curve and Evaluation.
- For evaluation, focus is on constructing and evaluating a risk curve only, which requires a basic undertsanding of expectation and a few economic concepts; background material is to provide context only, it is not part of the exam material.
- To be specific, the following pages should be read, but do not need to be memorized: steps in risk analysis, decision analysis, cost benefit, economic optimization, paint system
Changes:
- change main name (title) to "Risk Analysis"
- change 1st chapter from "Risk Analysis" to "Risk Introduction"
- switched order of dam and paint exercises
- made econ example a subpage
- updated descriptions on 3 intro/overview pages and added a note admonition to the non-essential pages.
- added notes on 2 exercise pages
Removed:
- component and system, since it is covered elsewhere and small
- sample exam page: not relevant enough for FN curves
