Advances in Civil Function Structure and Industrial Architecture contains the Proceedings of 5th International Conference on Civil Function Structure and Industrial Architecture (CFSIA 2022), which was held on January 21-23, 2022, in Harbin, China. The Proceedings of CFSIA 2022 is intended to share scientific research results and cutting-edge technologies in the field of civil function structure and control engineering. Researchers, practitioners and academics in these disciplines will find the book useful. Over 90 papers are featured. Many topics are covered, but the contributions may be seen to fall into one of six broad themes of the conference, namely: (i) Engineering Structure (Engineering Advanced Technology, Engineering Structure and Seismic Resistance, High-rise Building and Large-span Structure, Bridge Engineering, Special Structure, Construction Technology, Monitoring and Control of Structure, Cartography and GIS, Concrete Structure, Construction and Control, etc.); (ii) Intelligent Building (Predictive Maintenance, Converged Networks, Wireless Retrofit, Biometric Integration, Computer Management System Engineering, Building Equipment Automatic Control System Engineering, etc.); (iii) Smart City (Intelligent Construction, Intelligent Transportation, Risk Management and Decision Making for Intelligent Construction, Intelligent Building Automation Control System, etc.); (iv) Structural Seismic Resistance (Structural Seismic Design, Earthquakes and Ground Motions, Building Site, Foundation and Basis, Principles of Structural Seismic Design Calculation, Seismic Shear Adjustment and Minimum Seismic Shear Requirements, etc.); (v) Monitoring and Testing (Steel Structure Stress Monitoring, Stress Change Monitoring for Large Construction Projects, Structural Health Monitoring, Foundation Pit Monitoring, Temperature Monitoring for Large Volume Concrete Pouring, etc.); (vi) Engineering Facility (Machinery Facility, Electrical Facility, Stationary Facility, Non-standard Facility, Compressor, Continuous Transmission Facility, etc.).

Climate change has been identified as one of the greatest threats to humanity of all times. In addition to producing adverse environmental conditions such as rising sea level, drought, crop failure, vector-borne diseases, extreme events, degradation of water/air quality and heat waves, climate change is also considered a threat multiplier that leads to local and international conflicts and armed interventions. Urban areas may bear the brunt of climate change, as they are the centers of human habitation, anthropogenic stressors and environmental degradation, and the ensuing health impacts are of grave societal concern. The papers in this volume span a suite of climate change repercussions, paying particular attention to national security and human health aspects. It is an outcome of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop held during April 28-30, 2011 in Dubrovnik, Croatia, sponsored by the NATO Science for Peace and Security Program. The contributions cut across the elements of modeling, natural, political and social sciences, engineering, politics, military intervention, urban planning, industrial activities, epidemiology and healthcare.
