Environmental factors in the design and management of sustainable civil infrastructure
Instructor: Stiros Stathis
Course code: B16114
e-class:
Course content:
- Classification of natural effects influencing civil infrastructure (atmospheric, hydraulic, tectonic, near-surface effects, biological, anthropogenic etc. effects) gradually or episodically, in different scales (nuisance to failure)
- Main characteristics of these effects, of their scale, influence field, frequency and of their impacts (traditional and new)
- Hazard, risk, exposure, vulnerability, impacts because of interactions and of secondary effects
- Examination of representative effects based on their scale, evolution, reputation and impacts, including georeferencing and time series
- Digital Data Bases of characteristics of natural effects; coverage, measuring techniques, uncertainties, analysis and evaluation techniques
- Monitoring (instrumental and visual) and estimation of possible evolution of various natural effects directly, or indirectly through observation of degradation of selected constructions
- Problems and approaches in the design and administration of resilient infrastructure because of impacts of natural effects, including leveraging of new social potential
