| Abstract: | For risk-based design of flood defence systems it is necessary to know the probability of failure of the system. This can only be derived if the probability of occurrence of the loads on the flood defence is known. Hydraulic loads caused by typhoons such as water levels and wave characteristics are mutually dependent and this has to be included in their joint probability density functions. This paper describes a method to derive the dependent joint probability density functions of hydraulic loads resulting of typhoons for a bay in Japan. An example is given on how to apply the derived probability function of loads to the design and failure analysis of a flood defence. | |
