Upcoming 2024 Fazlur Rahman Khan Distinguished Lecture: Michel Ghosn on Design and Safety of Structures in a Changing Climate

October 10, 2024

We are excited to announce the next lecture in the prestigious 2024 Fazlur Rahman Khan Distinguished Lecture Series, featuring Michel Ghosn, Professor of Civil Engineering at The City College of the City University of New York. This insightful lecture, focused on the impact of climate change on the safety and design of civil infrastructure systems, will be held on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at 4:30 PM EDT via Zoom.

Titled “Design and Safety Assessment of Structures and Infrastructure Systems Subjected to Extreme Events in a Changing Climate,” Professor Ghosn’s lecture will explore the fundamental principles behind structural code developments, highlighting the challenges posed by increased climatic hazards. As our environment changes, the risks to infrastructure grow, requiring adjustments to design standards. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how current reliability-based approaches can be adapted to account for these nonstationary climatic hazards.
