ASCE Reads interviewed Professor Fabio Biondini on the occasion of the publication of the book Effects of Climate Change on Life-Cycle Performance of Structures and Infrastructure Systems: Safety, Reliability, and Risk, which he co-edited with Zoubir Lounis and Michel Ghosn.
The volume, published by ASCE Press, is the result of a three-year interdisciplinary project funded by ASCE, involving over 40 researchers including structural engineers and climate scientists. The main goals of the project were:
- To review available information on climate change
- To outline methods for updating current design standards to account for climate change effects on structural performance over time
- To identify methodologies and tools for addressing the impact of climate change on the safety, risk, and life-cycle performance of structures and infrastructure systems
