The late professor J.M. van Noortwijk (1961-2008) worked to bridge the practice
of mathematical modeling with solving complex problems in the field of
civil engineering. He developed advanced probabilistic and statistical models
and made these accessible to engineers working in such areas as structural
reliability, hydraulic engineering and maintenance optimization.
This book contains an overview of his work and a collection of twelve papers presented
at the symposium held in his honor on November 24, 2009, in Delft,
the Netherlands. The topics covered by these contributions include the elicitation
of experts’ opinion, condition-based maintenance optimization using
the gamma process, and the assessment and management of flood risks.
They present the latest developments by his peers in their respective fields.
