The Great Civil Engineering Overhaul
ISBN-13: 9780784416228 / Angielski / Miękka / 2024 / 277 str.
The Great Civil Engineering Overhaul details the effects that climate change has had and will continue to have on civil infrastructure and what alterations are required to enable civil engineers to work under changing climate conditions, resulting in what amounts to an "overhaul" in the civil engineering discipline. Topics include Response to a harsh and changing climate; Net zero carbon emissions imperative; Risks of business as usual; Current and future sustainability quadrant; Consequences of unsustainable development; Climate change and deep uncertainty; Carbon mitigation and adaptation needs for both; Methodologies for making civil infrastructure sustainable and climate resilient; Role of civil engineers in the race to net zero carbon; and How civil engineers can make a difference. Author William Wallace has compiled this book as a resource for all civil engineers interested in sustainability, regardless of subdiscipline, providing a sound understanding, new ideas, and a path forward to designing and delivering projects that can operate reliably, safely, and effectively under changing climate conditions.
