A Review of Effects of Climate Change on Geotechnical Infrastructure

  • Unique Paper ID: 171654
  • PageNo: 696-698
  • Abstract:
  • Geotechnical engineers now have to take climate change uncertainties into consideration when designing infrastructure and buildings. Engineers have long taken historical precedent—such as few, protracted flood events—into account when designing. However, we now have to acknowledge that these might occur more frequently. Other regions may experience extended droughts with less frequent but more intense rainfall as a result of climate change. Because of these consequences, geotechnical engineers are now required to take into consideration various circumstances that take into account a continuously shifting environment over the structure's existence. In order to attain the necessary design life when the conditions that are currently faced and for which they are intended eventually change, geotechnical engineers must also exercise caution while choosing materials. These concerns are covered in this study along with how geotechnical engineers might include climate change into their designs.
