LEKHA JITENDRA BHOYAR, SILKESHA GANESH KURREWAR, TANISH SUBRATO GHOSH, APEKSHA SAPAN DUTTA 03 02 Transportation infrastructure plays an essential role in economic development urban mobility trade emergency response and access to public services However roads bridges railway systems drainage structures and associated transport facilities are increasingly exposed to climatic stresses such as extreme rainfall flooding high temperatures landslides coastal inundation and severe storms Conventional transportation infrastructure is generally designed using historical climatic conditions which may not adequately represent future environmental stresses This study examines climateresilient design strategies that can improve the longterm sustainability safety and operational reliability of transportation infrastructure A scenariobased civil engineering assessment method is adopted to compare conventional design engineeringbased resilient design and hybrid resilient design integrating structural and naturebased solutions Major parameters considered include flood resistance thermal resistance slope and erosion stability service continuity drainage performance environmental sustainability and ease of recovery after extreme events The study indicates that improved drainage capacity climateresponsive pavement materials bridge hydraulic protection slope bioengineering permeable surfaces vegetationbased stabilization redundancy in transportation networks and continuous condition monitoring can substantially improve infrastructure resilience The analysis further shows that climate adaptation should be incorporated during planning and design rather than being treated only as a postdisaster rehabilitation measure A combination of conventional engineering and naturebased solutions provides the most balanced approach because it improves structural reliability while supporting environmental sustainability Climateresilient design can therefore reduce infrastructure vulnerability improve service continuity and support the development of safer and more sustainable transportation networks under changing climatic conditions Copyright (c) Journal of Science Engineering Technology and Management Science.
