Abstract	Climate change is one of the biggest challenges that the global community faces. The changing climate may lead to the infrastructure bring exposed to unprecedented climate with an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as more intense rain events and flooding, extreme winds, landslides, and other hazards, that could result in infrastructure damage and failure (Stocker et al., 2013). The consequences of failure can be quite significant and cause fatalities, injuries, and illnesses, disruption or loss of service, increased costs to infrastructure owners, and unforeseen costs to infrastructure users, and considerable negative socioeconomic impacts to the governments.
