  4. 2. Adaptation of road drainage structures to climate change

    Author : Zahra Kalantari; Lennart Folkeson; Steve W. Lyon; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Climate change is expected to lead to more frequent extreme precipitation events, floods and changes in frost/thawing cycles. The frequency of road closures and other incidents such as flooding, landslides and roads being washed away will probably increase. Stronger demands will be placed on the function of road drainage systems. READ MORE

  5. 3. Road structures under climate and land use change : Bridging the gap between science and application
