Coastal concrete structures are subjected to more frequent extreme events such as hurricanes, sea level rise, and storm surges due to climate change. These extreme events occur within a short period of time and may be recurrent several times during a typical design life time of 25, 50 or 75 years. Currently, these non-stationary extreme design loads are treated as rare events in the design codes without taking into account of the effects of climate change. In addition, the local effects of climate change have not been addressed by the current design codes. As a result, the ASCE/SEI 7 committee on “Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures” is targeting ASCE/SEI 7-28 which will be published in 2028 with a new Chapter 36 on “future conditions” to deal with future climate scenarios. The performance- based design code of ASCE/SEI 7-28 will serve as a model design code for other civil engineering applications. This presentation starts with the basic concept of structural reliability and safety in accordance with ASCE/SEI 7, followed by evaluating the Demand in a changing climate with the focus on extreme wind speed and flooding loads in coastal areas. This presentation also addresses the Capacity by modeling the time-variant deterioration process of coastal concrete structure as a spatial and temporal stochastic process that is accelerated by non-stationary climate variables. Finally, this presentation discusses the best practices in defining Safety Margin through developing risk acceptance criteria with consideration of climate change, where all of the safety, economic, environmental, and social aspects are explicitly included. A practical example of a new concrete pier design with consideration of climate change will be presented for illustration purposes.
