摘要信息
In this talk, Dr. Meguid will explore the significant challenges posed by climate change to the longevity of transportation infrastructure. It begins by defining kev concepts, including the nature of transportation infrastructure and the fundamentals of climate change. Emphasis will be placed on how geo-structures (highway/railway embankments, buried culverts, etc.) are increasingly vulnerable to climate-related shifts such as temperature fluctuations and changing precipitation patterns. Central to the discussion will be the conventional design of transportation embankments highlighting the role of introducing geosynthetics in these structures to mitigate risks. The presentation will evaluate the limitations and potential of various moisture contro.methods under different conditions. The talk will conclude with reflections on the current state of design and the need for new models to address the evolving challenges posed by climate change.
