The global climate is undergoing an unprecedented rate of change, which is anticipated to have direct or indirect impacts on the functionality and service life of civil structures and infrastructural systems. Given that our built infrastructure has a long-term lifespan and traditional design theories and assessment methods are based on historical stationary climate conditions, there is a need for renewed design and assessment approaches to address the rapidly evolving climate scenarios. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety, functionality, and resilience of structures as well as mitigate potential losses resulting from climate-related damages throughout their service life, it is imperative to consider the influence of climate change. This Special Collection aims to bring together the latest research on how climate change affects the resilience of civil structures and infrastructural systems.
