Selected papers from Geo-Risk 2017, held in Denver, Colorado, June 4-7, 2017. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE.

This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 8 peer-reviewed papers on the use of risk assessment and probabilistic methodologies from the conference keynote speakers.

Topics include: Bayesian thinking in geotechnical engineering; future directions in reliability-based design; risk management; Eurocode 7 and robustness in engineering design; dam safety and risk assessment; challenges of liquefaction modeling; and problems due to instability and deformation.

GSP 282 will provide practitioners and academics with a valuable reference of risk assessment methodologies in geotechnical practice.
