Be going to + if clause

Hi teachers.

What kind of structure do these sentences have?

I'm going to get very wet if that bus doesn't come soon.
I'm going to be late if the train doesn't arrive on time.

It is future the first part, but then the second one has an if clause.
Is there a grammatical name for these kinds of structures?

Thanks in advance
