Prepared by the Committee on Adaptation to a Changing Climate of
ASCE. Civil infrastructure systems traditionally have been designed
for appropriate functionality, durability, and safety for climate
and weather extremes during their full-service lives; however,
climate scientists inform us that the extremes of climate and
weather have altered from historical values in ways difficult to
predict or project. Climate-Resilient Infrastructure: Adaptive
Design and Risk Management, MOP 140, provides guidance for and
contributes to the developing or enhancing of methods for
infrastructure analysis and design in a world in which risk
profiles are changing and can be projected with varying degrees of
uncertainty requiring a new design philosophy to meet this
challenge. The underlying approaches in this manual of practice
(MOP) are based on probabilistic methods for quantitative risk
analysis, and the design framework provided focuses on identifying
and analyzing low-regret, adaptive strategies to make a project
more resilient. Beginning with an overview of the driving forces
and hazards associated with a changing climate, subsequent chapters
in MOP 140 provide observational methods, illustrative examples,
and case studies; estimation of extreme events particularly related
to precipitation with guidance on monitoring and measuring methods;
flood design criteria and the development of project design flood
elevations; computational methods of determining flood loads;
adaptive design and adaptive risk management in the context of
life-cycle engineering and economics; and climate resilience
technologies. MOP 140 will be of interest to engineers,
researchers, planners, and other stakeholders charged with adaptive
design decisions to achieve infrastructure resilience targets while
minimizing life-cycle costs in a changing climate.
