Sea Level Rise and Coastal Infrastructure: Prediction, Risks, and Solutions analyzes the challenges posed by rising sea levels and climate change. Scientists estimate that global sea levels could rise by as much as 20 feet in this century, directly affecting about 100 million people worldwide. Although the problems stemming from higher sea levels are formidable, immediate actions can be identified and executed to lessen the impact of rising waters on coastal infrastructure and communities.

Selected papers from the 2016 International Workshop on Resiliency of Urban Tunnels, held in Reston, Virginia, September 1, 2016. Sponsored by the Infrastructure Resilience Division of ASCE. Resilience Engineering for Urban Tunnels addresses tunnels as a part of the complex urban infrastructure system including transportation systems, such as metro transit networks, and provides a basis for the development of a dynamic risk control and resilient design approach to urban tunnels. Topics in this, the second Infrastructure Resilience Publication (IRP), include smart sensing, uncertainty...

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...
