Description: Economic growth security and sustainability across Europe are at risk due to ageing railway infrastructure systems. At present the majority of such systems are aging and some have even reached their initial design lives. These issues align with a major challenge in civil engineering: how to restore and improve urban infrastructure and built environments. Policy environmental and physical barriers must be addressed and overcome. The complex and interconnected nature of the problem means that there is a need for academia industry communities and governments to work collaboratively. The challenges posed by extreme events from natural and man - made disasters are urgent. Rail Infrastructure Resilience: A Best - Practices Handbook presents developed improvement methods for rail infrastructure systems toward resilience to extreme conditions. It shows how best to use new information in the engineering design maintenance construction and renewal of rail infrastructure resilience through knowledge exchange and capability development. The book presents the outcome of a major European research project known as the Risen project. Risen aimed to enhance knowledge creation and transfer using both international and intersectoral secondment mechanisms among European Advanced Rail Research Universities and SM Es and Non - EU leading rail universities providing methodological approaches and practical tools for restoring and improving railway infrastructure systems for extreme events. Edited and written by members of this project this book will be essential reading for researchers and practitioners hoping to find practical solutions to the challenges of rail infrastructure resilience.
