About the book >.>.> Civil engineers have always had to deal with uncertainty but they are now expected to do so in more accountable ways. Probability theory provides a mathematical description of random variation and enables us to make realistic risk assessments. Statistics is the analysis of data and the subsequent fitting of probability models. Computers continue to push back the limits imposed by the arithmetic and to some extent the algebraic manipulation involved. This greatly increases the scope of feasible analyses. The range of applications within civil engineering is vast and I have aimed to show this through practical examples. The book is structured around the main application areas in the following way.
