Preliminary Earthquake Mitigation Planning to Improve Watermain Performance in Vancouver, B.C.
City of Vancouver's water transmission and distribution system is vulnerable to over 1,000 pipe leaks or main breaks from a probable large earthquake (about 7.5 M). Cast iron...

Philosophy for Treatment of High-Pressure Natural Gas Pipelines at Active Fault Crossings
Natural gas from fields in the overthrust belt of southwest Wyoming will be collected and transported to Southern California. The proposed Kern River Pipeline will transport gas to Daggett,...

Application of Lateral Spread Hazard Definition Using Liquefaction Susceptibility Index to the Design of Buried Pipelines
Recent liquefaction hazard studies have made use of relationships developed to provide direct estimates of liquefaction displacements interms of liquefaction susceptibility index (LSI)....

Gas System Repair Patterns in San Francisco Resulting from the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake
Leak repair calls in San Francisco were tracked immediately following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. This information was subsequently obtained from PG&E and examined for possible...

Identify the Marina User Market and Make the Customer a Part of the Planning Team: Designing and Managing for the User's Needs
A practical surveying method is described which allows a marketing firm to simultaneously - and quantitatively - analyze demographic market composition (for both upland and in-water uses)...

The Application of a Structural Analysis Program to Floating Dock and Guide Pile Design
The floating dock systems and guide piles used in marinas are often designed using over simplified analysis techniques. However, if the dock system is flexible or if either the soil conditions...

Loma Prieta Earthquake?Emergency Response and Restoration: Water and Sewerage Lifelines
Water and Sewerage systems performed very well with a few exceptions in the Loma Prieta earthquake. Pipeline damage occurred in unstable ground. Damage at treatment plants was due to sloshing...

Putting It Back
Before construction of the largest inclined turbines in the U.S., the Santa Ana River would carry storm flows out to sea, lost to the residents of water-poor Orange County. The area's...

Seismic Response and Vulnerability of Water Delivery Systems
The response and vulnerability of straight segmented buried pipelines subject to seismic wave propagation are investigated in this paper. Seismic damage to buried pipelines is briefly...

Serviceability of San Francisco Auxiliary Water Supply System
A method is developed for estimating the seismic serviceability of water supply systems. The method can account for uncertainties in earthquake, mechanical properties of soil and pipelines,...

Serviceability of Water Transmission Systems
This present paper deals with the vulnerability and reliability of a functionally as well as physically hierarchical lifeline system. Most major lifeline systems have this feature. For...

Pipeline Field Experiment at Parkfield, CA
A field experiment designed to investigate the performance of buried pipelines at a fault crossing has been constructed near Parkfield, CA. The site was chosen to capitalize on the predicted...

Graphical Demonstration of Serviceability Analysis
A graphical interactive computer program (GISALLE) has been developed using state of the art computer graphics to estimate the seismic performance of water supply systems. GISALLE is developed...

Lifeline Systems Reliability, Serviceability and Reconstruction
In this paper we present a brief outline of methods and results for characterizing the reliability and serviceability of oil pipeline systems. Further, we present an outline of methods...

Response Analysis of Crude Oil Transmission Systems
A preliminary analysis of the seismic response of continuous steel pipelines is presented. The Crude Oil Transmission System in the New Madrid Mo. area is choosen as an example. Assumptions...

A Practical Model for Forecasting Water Supply Functions at Time of the Earthquake
This study aims to construct a practical forecasting model for the seismic damage restoration of city water supply functions by using experts empirical knowledge as well as the functional...

Risk Assessment of Utility Network Systems Using Expert Opinions
This paper describes the application of an expert opinion and survey approach to the problem identification and risk assessment of engineering systems. The method of expert opinion for...

Advances in Pipeline Materials and Design in Europe and North America
This paper presents an overview of various developments in materials technology and design procedures in the Western Hemisphere over the last 20 years. Some projections for anticipated...

Recent Advances in Structural Rehabilitation Techniques for Underground Sewer Pipelines
A great challenge for the coming years, if not decades, will be the repair, renovation and renewal of the existing sewerage systems in the Federal Republic of Germany in the interest of...

Uprating an In-Service Offshore Pipeline
The Ekofisk to Emden 36-inch pipeline, transmits gas 275 miles from the Ekofisk field to Emden, West Germany, and has been in operation since 1977. The operator Phillips Petroleum Company...
