Engineering Methods for Precipitation Under a Changing Climate
“Engineering Methods for Precipitation Under a Changing Climate” by J. Rolf Olsen is a collection of selected papers from the ASCE Workshop held in Reston, Virginia, on May 30, 2017. Published by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2020, this edition spans 135 pages and is presented in English. The book focuses on engineering design strategies for managing precipitation extremes and floods, addressing the challenges posed by a changing climate.
Readers will find seven peer-reviewed papers that explore various engineering methods for designing infrastructure capable of withstanding extreme weather events. The topics discussed include approaches to uncertainty in engineering design, the determination of acceptable risk, and the collaboration between engineers and climate scientists to address the need for accurate climate information and projections. This report serves as a valuable resource for practitioners and researchers dedicated to maintaining functional infrastructure in the face of increasing precipitation variability.
Official synopsis Publisher
Selected papers from the ASCE Workshop on Engineering Methods for Precipitation under a Changing Climate, held in Reston, Virginia, May 30, 2017. Sponsored by the Subcommittee on Hydroclimatology and Engineering Adaptation of the Committee on Adaptation to a Changing Climate of ASCE
This collection contains seven peer-reviewed papers on engineering design for precipitation extremes.
Topics include engineering methods for designing for and managing precipitation extremes and floods throughout the life cycle of a building, approaches to uncertainty and how acceptable risk is determined, and interactions with climate scientists on engineering needs for climate information and projections. Also included is a report on the discussions held during the workshop and the conclusions and recommendations that were drawn.
This report provides information to practitioners and researchers working to ensure functional infrastructure while adapting to extreme precipitation changes.
