This book presents new studies by a group of researchers and practitioners to address many geotechnical challenges, based on the state-of-the-art practices, innovative technologies, new research results and case histories in construction and design towards safer infrastructures. The book provides an advancement in technologies to incorporate the impact of global climate change, world's population is rising fast and the rate of urbanization on civil infrastructures. Papers were selected from the 5th GeoChina International Conference 2018 - Civil Infrastructures Confronting Severe Weathers and Climate Changes: From Failure to Sustainability, held on July 23 to 25, 2018 in HangZhou, China.
