Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The extraordinary challenges that climate change poses to our existing and new structures and infrastructures is a growing concern that is being widely discussed worldwide. The uncertainty in future environmental actions and the aging of existing structures and infrastructures in addition to the continuously increasing demand for resources compel us to adopt novel approaches to tackle the impact caused by climate change and extreme events.
This Special Issue aims to collect ground-breaking research and novel strategies to mitigate the impact of climate change and extreme events on structures and infrastructures. In this regard, submissions underpinning the following list of topics are particularly welcomed:
- Modelling of actions induced by Climate Change and extreme events
- Multi-hazard vulnerability assessment and risk analysis
- Aging of structures and infrastructures
- Novel techniques for the repair and strengthening of existing structures and infrastructures
- Innovative approaches for structural rehabilitation
- Sustainable high-performance materials for enhanced resilience
- Novel devices for the control of existing structures
