Impact of Sea Level Rise due to Climate Change and Anticipated Consequence of Slamming Forces on Deck Elevation of Port Structures-An Assessment

SUDIPTA CHAKRABORTY, Kambekar A.R, Arnab Sarma

Abstract


The research methodologies for on climate change, particularly the deterministic factors have undergone gradual changes during last few decades in respective IPCC’s Assessment Reports. The original concept of emission scenarios (2000) was reconsidered as socio-economic scenarios till AR4, later appraised as Representative Concentration Pathways till AR5 based on Radiative Forcing, the capacity of a gas affecting the change in energy (trajectories not emissions) in the atmosphere. Lately in AR6 the criterion is assessed in terms of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and scenarios projected up to 2100. The resultant sea level rise also has undergone multiple changes in their forecast, especially due to the uncertain and fast changes in the dynamics of melting of ice-sheets. This paper calls for evaluation of impact of sea level rise on critical infrastructure in Ports and Harbours in view of the fingerprint of uncontrolled and rapid increasing of melting of ice. The criticalities on marine structures have been reviewed and the concern is emphasized.
