Climate change challenges are unlike any hazard that infrastructure and related shareholders have faced for millennia. These challenges, and the systems that are vulnerable to them, as well as the resulting consequences (social, economic, physical, natural, health, costs, etc.), are interrelated in countless ways and span regions, countries, oceans, and continents. The design, analysis, maintenance, operations, economics, and life cycle of civil infrastructure are dependent upon climatic effects, and this book addresses the intersections between climate change, infrastructures, and related decision paradigms, such as risk, resilience, preparedness, adaptation, or mitigation, from the viewpoint of climate change demands.
- Presents an objective categorization of climate change demands as related to civil infrastructure and society.
- Offers a comprehensive roadmap on how to plan for and address climate change effects on civil infrastructure.
- Includes numerous objective and practical case studies throughout to highlight important subjects.
