Climate Change Effects on Civil Infrastructure
Weidlinger Associates Inc., New York, USA.
The design, analysis, maintenance, operations, economics, and life cycle of civil infrastructure is very dependent upon climatic effects. Climate change can have immense effects on the performance and well-being of civil infrastructures, and this book examines how climate change can directly affect civil infrastructure, how different types of infrastructure are affected, and more importantly, how stakeholders can prepare for and counter such changes and approach decision-making in an optimal manner. It includes numerous case studies and examples that help illustrate the different points and methodologies presented. Presents a comprehensive road map on how to plan for and address climate change effects on civil infrastructure. Includes case studies and examples that help illustrate the different points and methodologies presented. Presents numerous theoretical and analytical tools to establish potential impacts. Examines the changes in demands, increased vulnerabilities (or capacity decrease), consequences,and potential links between all of those factors.
