Civil Infrastructure Project Evaluation and Risk Assessment

Evaluating the feasibility, impact, and safety of large-scale civil engineering projects is critical for building resilient communities. This text-based course guides you through the foundational principles of project evaluation in civil and environmental engineering, enabling you to assess economic viability, environmental impacts, and disaster risks. What you'll learn: - Understand the core terminology and frameworks of civil project evaluation and feasibility studies. - Perform cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and life-cycle cost analysis for public infrastructure. - Assess environmental impacts and integrate modern sustainability metrics into project planning. - Evaluate infrastructure risk and resilience against natural hazards, including tsunamis and floods. - Apply multi-criteria decision analysis to balance economic, social, and environmental goals. You will start with the fundamental concepts of engineering economics and project lifecycles before moving into risk assessment methodologies and modern resilience planning. This course is designed for beginners, aspiring civil engineers, and environmental project managers, with no prior engineering background required.
