Sponsored by the Task Group 2 Reliability-Based Performance Indicators for Structural Systems, Former Technical Council on Life-Cycle Performance, Safety, Reliability and Risk of Structural Systems, SEI Technical Community Executive Committee of the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).
The new book Effects of Climate Change on Life-Cycle Performance of Structures and Infrastructure Systems: Safety, Reliability, and Risk examines how climate change influences the design, assessment, maintenance, and management of civil structures and infrastructure. It presents criteria, methods, and tools to integrate climate considerations into life-cycle performance and risk management.
The book aims to review current knowledge on climate change and its impacts, outline methods for updating design standards to reflect climate risks and assess structural performance, and identify tools and methodologies to help engineers address safety, reliability, and risk under changing conditions. Key topics include climate change impacts on structures and infrastructure, climate projection models and data, effects on infrastructure performance, and life-cycle, risk-based decision-making in a changing climate.
This resource is intended for engineers, researchers, policymakers, infrastructure managers, and professionals in the structural engineering community who seek to integrate climate risk into both existing and future infrastructure planning and design.
