Abstract
The article deals with the problems of climate change and global warming, extreme climate phenomena, which present risk factors for the national economy, including construction. The causes that lead to the occurrence of the construction degradation phenomena are diverse and may be specific to improper exploitation, but also as a consequence of extraordinary natural phenomena or results from the humanity’s interrelationship with the environment. The degradation of the constructions is manifested by the gradual loss of the physical and functional qualities that characterize the aptitude for their exploitation, the degradation process manifesting itself starting from the contact surfaces of the constructions with the environment. Urban planning and the design of adequate infrastructure play an important role in minimizing the impact of climate change and reducing the risk to the human environment. The undertaking's measures, which will consider the potential impact of climate change on buildings, will provide opportunities for new markets for climate change-resistant technologies, machinery, materials, and products
Highlights
The effects of climate change cause global warming, generating huge losses for the economy of the Republic of Moldova
The causes that lead to the occurrence of construction degradation phenomena are diverse and may be specific to improper exploitation, as according to extraordinary natural phenomena or resulting from the humanity’s interrelationship with the environment [1]
Knowledge to action of these climate phenomena is extremely important, to foresee in the future measures to minimize the consequences in different areas of the national economy
Summary
The effects of climate change cause global warming, generating huge losses for the economy of the Republic of Moldova. The problem of conducting experimental research on reinforced concrete elements was raised, regarding the variation of air temperature and humidity when calculating the carbonation depth of the concrete protection layer of the reinforcement, given the action of the corrosive atmospheric environment of Chisinau, where - considered the high temperatures of March-November of 2020 (Figure 1 a). During this time of year, the relative humidity of the air varied in the range from 60 % to 87 %, due to the annual amount of rainfall of 355-615 mm or 70 % - 105 % of the norm (Figure 1 b)
