About the Event

Structures are designed to provide safe service and operation.  The safety of the designed structures is affected by the temporarily as well as spatially varying natural hazards such as wind, snow, and ice accretion. Dr. Xuebin Zhang will give an overview talk on past and future changes in Canadian climate focusing on aspects most relevant to infrastructure adaptation and resilience. Prof. Han-Ping Hong will discuss the historical trends of the characteristics of the extreme wind speed, ground snow load, and ice accretion thickness and their use for structural design code making. The potential impact of the effects of climate change on setting the design wind load, snow load, and ice load in future design codes for a tolerable failure probability will also be discussed.
