| Abstract |
Uncertainties are introduced in probabilistic risk analysis when we deal with parameters that are not deterministic (exactly known) but that are unknown instead, hence uncertain. This report describes how uncertainties influence the reliability of flood defence systems. The purpose of the study is to identify all uncertainties that influence the reliability of dike ring systems, to determine which uncertainties contribute most to the probability of failure and how can be dealt with uncertainties. |
