GMT : 02/11| 15:00 - 16:30 Paris : 02/11| 16:00 - 17:30 New Delhi : 02/11| 20:30 - 22:00 Tokyo : 02/12| 00:00 - 01:30 Sydney : 02/12| 02:00 - 03:30

Chair : Mr. Joseph HARTMANN, English secretary of PIARC TC 4.2, USA

Bridge resilience to natural hazards including climate change and winter conditions can be represented as a combined measure of bridge mitigation and its recovery after natural hazards. With regard to road bridges, concerns associated with climate change are the extreme variation of air temperatures, extreme wind due to hurricanes and typhoons, sea level rise, frequency and intensity of rainfall and associated flooding, and so on. For this session, papers which describe mitigation and measures for increasing resilience to climate change and winter conditions are invited and discussed.
