ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractThis paper examines the life-cycle wind resistant performance of a constructed long-span suspension bridge in the coastal region of China, aiming to quantify the multisource time-variant effects and uncertainties and…
On April 11, MIT announced five multiyear flagship projects in the first-ever Climate Grand Challenges, a new initiative to tackle complex climate problems and deliver breakthrough solutions to the world…
AbstractSpatial and temporal variability of streamflow due to climate change affects hydrological processes and irrigation demands at a basin scale. This study investigated the impacts of climate change on the…
When we think of climate change, one of the most dramatic images that comes to mind is the loss of glacial ice. As the Earth warms, these enormous rivers of…
AbstractClimate change increases the frequency and intensity of certain kinds of natural hazard events in alpine areas. This interdisciplinary study addresses the hypothetical possibility of relocating the residents of three…
AbstractTo assess the impacts of climate change on water resources, hydrological models are the most commonly used to simulate future flows. Hydrological model calibration is typically based on historical hydrometeorological…
AbstractRoad infrastructure is engineered to perform through constant exposure to climatological stressors. Due to climate change in particular, expected rises in the average ambient and extreme temperatures, pavement performance might…
AbstractClimate change impacts on hydrological processes can affect reservoir operational performance. Hence, the reservoir operation model, based on historical climate conditions, may not guarantee sustainable water resources management in the…
AbstractBarge transport operations on the Mackenzie River, a major transportation corridor in the Northwest Territories, are impacted by multiple sources of uncertainties. In particular, the impacts of climate change on…
At MIT, it’s not uncommon to see groups navigating campus with smartphones and measuring devices in hand, using the Institute as a test bed for research. During one week this…
