Study uncovers underground climate change as a silent threat to global cities
A groundbreaking study conducted by Northwestern University has revealed a concerning link between climate change and the shifting earth beneath urban areas. The research demonstrates that as the ground temperature rises, it undergoes deformation, resulting in increased ground movement and cracking due to expansions and contractions. These phenomena pose long-term risks to the durability and operational performance of structures.
