Robb Moss is a civil engineering professor at Cal Poly with specialties in geotechnical, earthquake, and risk engineering. In July 2019, Moss’s “2nd Edition of Applied Civil Engineering Risk Analysis” was published by Springer.
“This is a senior/grad-level text that introduces students to probability of failure analysis for components and/or systems, and other conceptual and mathematical tools to help solve engineering problems and to quantify the risk These concepts can be applied to a wide range of engineering problems in both Civil and Environmental Engineering. The texts uses many examples to demonstrate the utility of quantifying uncertainty and propagating that uncertainty through any engineering problem. Solutions are provided analytically as well as computationally using MatLab and R,” Moss wrote.
Moss earned a PhD from Berkeley, a MS from Utah State, and a BS from North Carolina State.
Moss started teaching at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in January 2006 and is coming up on his 14th year as a professor.
