The theme of this symposium is “Adapting infrastructures to climate change and other emerging risks”. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. Building resilience into infrastructure materials and structures
2. Reducing the life-cycle carbon footprint of roads, bridges, tunnels, ports, airports, buildings
3. Preservation and monitoring against foundational risks of the built environment
4. Post-disaster or post-hazard recovery of infrastructures
5. Preservation and rehabilitation against infrastructure materials-related distresses
6. Remote sensing, online monitoring, and non-destructive evaluation of infrastructures
7. Structural reliability and safety
8. Infrastructure system response and resilience: robustness, recovery, resource allocation, etc.
9. Decision support and asset management
10. Regulatory framework and policy aspects of infrastructure resilience
11. Social technical or system-oriented aspect of infrastructure resilience
12. Infrastructure durability and performance in extreme climates
13. Permafrost impacts and mitigation strategies for transportation infrastructure
14. Challenges in materials and design for remote and Arctic infrastructure resilience

The main objective of the symposium is to provide a forum for professionals (from academia, industry, and government) to discuss infrastructure challenges and solutions, facilitating a productive peer exchange and a showcase of recent developments, practices, and advances. Participants can present either existing research or ideas associated with the symposium theme.
