      The design of structures and infrastructure facilities has typically assumed a future climate that is much the same as today’s. However, a changing climate and the resulting more extreme weather events mean those climate bands are becoming outdated, leaving infrastructure operating outside or at the limit of its tolerance levels.With its evaluation of a host of assets in the built environment, Climate Change Effects on Infrastructure: Advanced Tools for Monitoring, Mitigation, and Lifecycle Optimization instructs readers how to assess and predict structural vulnerabilities resulting from climate change as well as ensuing hazard patterns using mathematical tools and data-driven models. The carefully compiled contributions also comprehensively survey the latest technological developments and the most useful approaches to counteract and/or prevent damage and connected socio-economic risks.The volume proves to be an even more invaluable resource thanks to its real-world application examples that spotlight the urgency of further investigations into the implementation of cost-effective and sustainable adaptive measures that can enhance or extend the reliable performance, durability, and efficiency of structures and infrastructure systems throughout their entire lifecycle.

      Building Information Modeling or BIM has been widely applied to new construction projects, but is less used to used to support renovation activities. Building Information Modeling for Renovation and Refurbishment: A Practical Guide addresses that issue and provides a practical guide centered around well-defined use cases of applying BIM to demonstration projects.The authors have worked on the European Union’s Horizon 2020 funded BIM-Speed project where they developed more than 20 such use cases with demonstrative implementations on real-world renovation projects. The use cases were also formalized as standard BuildingSmart International use cases.The book provides a more accessible and general description of a selected number of the most important of these use cases for renovation practitioners. Additionally, the book will discuss requirements for information management and BIM implementation planning for renovation projects to allow for the seamless implementation of use cases on projects.

      Despite this rising enthusiasm among post-graduate students and R&D practitioners for new data-driven techniques in civil engineering, no comprehensive references book exist that introduces such techniques to the civil engineering audience and explores the applications of these techniques in civil engineering. Consequently, this enthusiastic audience often refers to textbooks published in other engineering disciplines to learn the fundamentals of data science techniques; and then refers to journal and conference articles to learn the civil engineering applications of these techniques.This approach often leads to familiarizing the readers with a set of techniques that suit other engineering disciplines and using irrelevant engineering examples. Additionally, this approach ignores the unique characteristics of civil engineering problems (e.g., empirical data limitation).This book addresses these limitations by providing the first reference book on data-centric civil engineering to introduce advanced data science theories to the civil engineering audience. This book uses a variety of problems from the different fields of civil engineering (e.g., transportation, structure, and construction) and considers the unique limitations that civil engineers deal with in their research and practices.
