Bridges in a changing climate: a study of the potential impacts of climate change on bridges and their possible adaptations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the different ways in which potential climate change scenarios can affect the safety and performance of infrastructures and propose a framework to account for the different effects of climate change on infrastructure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vulnerability of bridges to individual and multiple hazards- floods and earthquakes
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed two-and three-dimensional numerical models are employed for a typical three-span prestressed box-girder river-crossing bridge, taking into account critical hydraulic stressors (scour, debris accumulation, hydraulic forces), the uncertainty in scour hole formation, and all components of integral and isolated bridges: deck, bearings, piers and abutments, backfill and the foundation soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconciling complexity and deep uncertainty in infrastructure design for climate adaptation
TL;DR: This study assesses how well existing infrastructure design approaches – traditional fail-safe, armoring, low regret, safe-to-fail, and adaptive management – account for climate-related complexity and uncertainty through an application of the Cynefin and Deep Uncertainty Frameworks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three decades of statistical pattern recognition paradigm for SHM of bridges
TL;DR: The main goal of this article is to summarize the concept of SHM and point out key developments in research and applications of the SPR paradigm observed in bridges in the last three decades, including developments in sensing technology and data analysis, and to identify current and future trends to promote more coordinated and interdisciplinary research in the SHM of bridges.

Centralization and decentralization for resilient infrastructure and complexity
Alysha M. Helmrich,Samuel A. Markolf,Rui Li,Thomaz Carvalhaes,Yeowon Kim,Emily Bondank,Mukunth Natarajan,Nasir Ahmad,Mikhail Chester +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review framings of centralization, decentralization, and distributed (referred to collectively as de/centralization) across infrastructure sectors, revealing incommensurate usage leading to polysemous framings.

TL;DR: Substantial enhancement or over-delivery on current INDCs by additional national, sub-national and non-state actions is required to maintain a reasonable chance of meeting the target of keeping warming well below 2 degrees Celsius.

RCP 8.5—A scenario of comparatively high greenhouse gas emissions
Keywan Riahi,Shilpa Rao,Volker Krey,Cheolhung Cho,V. Chirkov,Guenther Fischer,Georg Kindermann,Nebojsa Nakicenovic,Peter Rafaj +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the main characteristics of the RCP8.5 scenario and explored scenario variants that use RCP 8.5 as a baseline, and assume different degrees of greenhouse gas mitigation policies to reduce radiative forcing.
