"Risk Evaluation and Climate Change Adaptation of Civil Engineering Infrastructures and Buildings"
This book, published in English and French, brings together a selection of the scientific results of the RI ADAPTCLIM project (International Network on Risk Assessment and Climatic Adaptation of Civil Engineering and Buildings Works). Funded by the Pays de la Loire region in France as part of the 2014 Stratégie Internationale call for projects, research teams from the scientific group LiRGeC (Centrale Nantes, Univeristy of Nantes, IFSTTAR, CSTB) and several international partners contributed their human, experimental and digital resources.RI-ADAPTCLIM was established to study the short- and medium term effects of climatic conditions on buildings, infrastructures and the ground. Following an integrated, interdisciplinary and multi-physics approach, the researchers proposed decision support tools that would increase the resilience of structures and buildings against the impact of hazards due to climate change.
