Abstract
Recently, it has become clear from observational evidence that global warming is progressing. In Japan, many coastal structures were designed in the late 1950s. In the future, coastal structures must be designed by taking into account the changes in forces accompanying with the future estimated changes in sea level rise and wave due to global warming. However, safety performance evaluation of coastal structures under future climate conditions is scare. This study evaluated the effects of changes of coastal environment factors on the safety performance of coastal structures by using a reliability method of Level 3, and proposes an adaptation method to keep the present safety level.
