Civil infrastructure confronting weather changes and natural hazards

A changing climate has increased the frequency and intensity ofnatural hazards, resulting in increased infrastructure damages andadverse impacts. The durability of concrete, steel, and asphalt maybe reduced by intense rain events, flooding, and extreme temper-ature and humidity fluctuations. Climate adaptation measures aimto reduce the vulnerability and increase the resiliency and sustain-ability of civil infrastructures to a changing weather and climate.This special collection of the Journal of Performance of Con-structed Facilities (JPCF) is dedicated to evaluate the civil infra-structure confronting weather changes and natural hazards andprovides a platform for sharing the latest results on the resiliencyof civil infrastructures.The resiliency of civil infrastructures is applicable to construc-tion of buildings, roads, bridges, tunnels, foundations, concretestructures, and others, which are discussed prominently in this issue.Intrinsic compressibility of reconstructed clays, application of com-posite material reinforcement, karst development and its collapsingtechnique, concrete curing, grouting, slope stability analysis, andcost analysis are some of the important areas presented here. Otherkey research areas in this issue are foundation of structures includ-ing pile foundations and liquefaction of geotechnical material.© ASCE 02020001-1 J. Perform. Constr. Facil.
