Abstract
The global Climate Change results to needs to re-evaluate
performance and durability of buildings. Future changes
in climate are expected to include additional warming,
changes in precipitation patterns and amounts, sea-level
rise and changes in the frequency and intensity of
extreme winds and rains. The most wide-spread serious
impacts are flooding, landslides, mudslides and
avalanches. All these risks have consequences on the
built environment that should be recognized as new
planning and design conditions in many countries.
