SEI and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have published a five-report series examining how future hazards and changing conditions may influence the design, performance, and resilience of buildings and infrastructure. The publications address future hazards, future load effects, engineering design guidelines and criteria, adaptation and resilience. Topics include hazard projections, future design loads, nonstationary reliability, structural capacity degradation, material durability, geotechnical conditions, and resilience planning. The complete report series is available free of charge:
