“Effects of Climate Change on Life-Cycle Performance of Structures and Infrastructure Systems: Safety, Reliability, and Risk” delves into the strategies and methodologies employed to integrate criteria, techniques, and tools for the life-cycle design, evaluation, maintenance, and management of civil engineering structures and infrastructure systems amidst climate change challenges.
The book aims to (1) compile and review current data and insights on climate change, (2) provide a framework for updating contemporary design standards to accommodate climate change impacts alongside assessing structural system performance, and (3) highlight methodologies and tools useful for civil engineers in mitigating the effects of climate change on the life-cycle performance, safety, and risk of infrastructure. Key subjects addressed include:
- Structures and infrastructures under climate change,
- Climate projection models and data,
- Impact of climate change on infrastructure performance, and,
- Life-cycle risk-based decision-making in a changing climate.
This publication is a comprehensive resource for engineers, researchers, government officials, infrastructure managers, decision-makers, and the structural engineering community interested in deepening their understanding of climate change impacts and effectively addressing these challenges in existing and future civil structures and infrastructure systems.
“Effects of Climate Change on Life-Cycle Performance of Structures and Infrastructure Systems: Safety, Reliability, and Risk” is sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers 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 ASCE, and edited by Fabio Biondini, Zoubir Lounis, and Michel Ghosn.
