Risk Based Decision Support Model for Water Delivery Systems Subject to Natural Hazards
This paper presents a prototype model for analysis of potential damage and risk to water company systems in regions subject to earthquakes. Other hazards that produce loss to water distribution...

Impact on Water Supply of a Seismically Damaged Water Delivery System
This paper presents the damage evaluation of a water delivery system caused by the ground shaking in the event of an earthquake by using the LIFELINE-W computer program. The adequacy of...

Seismic Hazards in the Eastern U.S. and the Impact on Transportation Lifelines
In the eastern US seismicity is low, hazard is moderate, and risk is quite high, especially in metropolitan regions with vulnerable transportation systems typically not designed to resist...

Evaluation of Seismic Vulnerability of Highway Bridges in the Eastern United States
For high risk seismic zones such as California, the state-of-the-art in earthquake resistant design for new highway bridges has been well advanced, especially since the damaging 1971 San...

Transportation Lifeline Losses in Large Eastern Earthquakes
In December 1991 Applied Technology Council (ATC) and its subcontractor, EQE Inc., completed a 2-year Federal Emergency Management Agency-sponsored study to assess the seismic vulnerability...

Regional Evaluation of Transportation Lifelines in New York State with the Aid of GIS Technology
Regional evaluation of transportation lifeline facilities which may be impacted by seismic and other natural hazards is of great concern for purposes of emergency planning and response...

Seismic Hazard Along a Central U.S. Oil Pipeline
An integrated approach is used to evaluate seismic hazards at six sites where pipeline 22 crosses the major rivers in West Tennessee. On the basis of historical and instrumental data,...

Seismic Hazard Analysis for Crude Oil Pipelines in the New Madrid Seismic Zone
The seismic vulnerability of three crude oil pipelines in and around the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) is evaluated for a repetition of the 1811-12 New Madrid events. The seismic hazard...

Migration of Spilled Oil from Ruptured Underground Crude Oil Pipelines in the Memphis Area
This study evaluated the impact of an oil pipeline rupture in the recharge area of a West Tennessee aquifer. Two potential break locations were chosen in the alluvial valley of a main...

An Assessment of Environmental Costs Associated with Crude Oil Pipeline Damage Caused by Earthquakes
This paper presents a methodology for assessing the risk of environmental contamination from oil pipeline leaks caused by earthquakes. Risk is measured both as volume of oil released and...

Earthquake Countermeasures for Lifelines in the Central and Eastern United States
Seismic hazards affecting petroleum transmission systems in the Central U.S. and water and gas distribution systems in the Eastern U.S. are discussed. Experience during previous earthquakes...
