TLDR
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.Abstract:
Climate change may have multifaceted impacts on the safety and performance of infrastructure. Accounting for the different ways in which potential climate change scenarios can affect our infrastruc...read more

Strategies to adapt to an uncertain climate change
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose to use the output of a single climate model as an input for infrastructure design, instead of optimizing based on the climate conditions projected by models, therefore, future infrastructure should be made more robust to possible changes in climate conditions.

The Science behind Scour at Bridge Foundations: A Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an up-to-date, comprehensive, and holistic literature review of the problem of scour at bridge foundations, with a focus on the following topics: sediment particle motion, physical modelling and controlling dimensionless scour parameters; scour estimates encompassing empirical models, numerical frameworks, data-driven methods, and non-deterministic approaches; current approach for assessment and design of bridges against scour; and, research needs and future avenues.

Dimitra V. Achillopoulou,Dimitra V. Achillopoulou,Stergios A. Mitoulis,Sotirios Argyroudis,Sotirios Argyroudis,Ying Wang,Ying Wang +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a roadmap for monitoring-based quantification of resilience for transport infrastructure, based on a comprehensive review of the current state-of-the-art.

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.

Validation of long-term temperature simulations in a steel-concrete composite girder
TL;DR: In this article, the shadow recognition method and a simulation model were developed and validated for long-term thermal simulation to be used in future studies on the determination of characteristic values of temperature actions in composite bridges.

The Potential to Narrow Uncertainty in Regional Climate Predictions
Ed Hawkins,Rowan Sutton +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a suite of climate models are used to predict changes in surface air temperature on decadal timescales and regional spatial scales, and it is shown that the uncertainty for the next few decades is dominated by model uncertainty and internal variability that are potentially reducible through progress in climate science.

A summary of the PRUDENCE model projections of changes in European climate by the end of this century
TL;DR: An overview of the PRUDENCE fine resolution climate model experiments for Europe is presented in this paper in terms of their climate change signals, in particular 2-meter temperature and precipitation, and a comparison is made with regard to the seasonal variation in climate change response of the different models participating in the project.

Adaptation planning for climate change: concepts, assessment approaches, and key lessons
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized current thinking about planned adaptation to climate change and provided a discussion of key adaptation con- cepts, a description of the diversity of adaptation contexts, and key prerequisites for effective adaptation.
