Purpose The use of life cycle assessment (LCA) as a decision support tool can be hampered
by the numerous uncertainties embedded in the calculation. The treatment of uncertainty is …

The evolution of life cycle assessment (LCA) from a merely comparative tool for the
assessment of products to a policy analysis tool proceeds by incorporating increasingly …

Numerical possibility distributions can encode special convex families of probability
measures. The connection between possibility theory and probability theory is potentially …

Monte Carlo simulation has been used extensively for addressing probabilistic uncertainty in
range estimating for construction projects. However, subjective and linguistically expressed …

Random variability and imprecision are two distinct facets of the uncertainty affecting
parameters that influence the assessment of risk. While random variability can be …

Purpose When performing uncertainty propagation, most LCA practitioners choose to
represent uncertainties by single probability distributions and to propagate them using …

An important issue in risk analysis is the distinction between epistemic and aleatory
uncertainties. In this paper, the use of distinct representation formats for aleatory and …

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of currently known applications of
computing with words (CWW) in risk assessment. It is largely grouped into the following 5 …

We consider a model for the risk-based design of a flood protection dike, and use probability
distributions to represent aleatory uncertainty and possibility distributions to describe the …

Les phénomènes naturels gravitaires rapides tels que les avalanches ou les crues
torrentielles menacent les biens et les personnes en montagne mais restent mal connus …
