Abstract

Climate change may have multifaceted impacts on the safety and performance of infrastructure. Accounting for the different ways in which potential climate change scenarios can affect our infrastructure is paramount in determining appropriate adaptation and risk management strategies. Despite gaining some attention among researchers in recent years, this research area is still largely uninvestigated. Several studies have indicated bridges to be especially susceptible to the effects of climate change. This article presents the potential impacts of climate change on bridges and combines the findings of close to 70 research articles to construct a broad list of their possible adaptation techniques. Although this study focuses on bridges, many of the presented climate change impacts and their adaptations are of relevance also to other types of infrastructure.

摘要

气候变化可能对基础设施的安全和性能产生多方面的影响。在确定适当的适应和风险管理策略时，考虑潜在的气候变化情景可能会影响我们的基础架构的不同方式至关重要。尽管近年来引起了研究人员的关注，但该研究领域仍未得到充分研究。多项研究表明，桥梁特别容易受到气候变化的影响。本文介绍了气候变化对桥梁的潜在影响，并结合了近70篇研究论文的发现，以构建其可能的适应技术的广泛清单。尽管这项研究着重于桥梁，
