'Theory is most valuable when it can be used to solve practical problems. This excellent book will enable engineers to leverage probability theory in developing effective real-world solutions.' -- Robert B. Gilbert, Chair in Civil Engineering and Distinguished Teaching Professor, The University of Texas at Austin, USA 'The book's discussion of uncertainty, risk assessment, and the integration of modern computational approaches is excellent. With its systematic treatment of methodologies such as Monte Carlo simulation, Excel-based computational methods, and modern data statistics, the book equips engineers with the tools needed to quantify and manage uncertainty. It is a significant contribution' -- Gregory B. Baecher, G.L.

Martin Institute Professor of Engineering, University of Maryland, USA ' The use of reliability methods in Excel(R) to complement Eurocode procedures contributes to the immense practical aspect, and many examples are provided' -- Herbert H. Einstein, Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
