New Associate Editor appointment

ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems addresses topics related to risk, disaster and failure-related challenges, due to many sources and types of uncertainty in planning, design, analysis, construction, manufacturing, operation, utilization, and life-cycle management of existing and new engineering systems. Challenges abound due to increasing complexity of engineering systems, new materials and concepts, and emerging hazards (both natural and human caused). The journal serves as a medium for dissemination of research findings, best practices and concerns, and for the discussion and debate on risk and uncertainty related issues.
Core topics covered by the journal include:
• Risk quantification based on hazard identification,
• Scenario development and rate quantification,
• Consequence assessment,
• Valuations, perception, and communication,
• Risk-informed decision making,
• Uncertainty analysis and modeling,
• Other related areas.

Part A of the journal is published by the American Society of Civil Engineers and focuses on the civil engineering aspects of these topics. Part B is published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers focusing on mechanical engineering.
