This book was released on 2003-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides checklists to screen for seismically vulnerable water and wastewater facilities. The checklists facilitate seismic vulnerability assessment for water and wastewater system components, and provide useful information for improving loss mitigation programs. The report was prepared by the Water and Wastewater Committee of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquakes Engineering (TCLEE). A brief overview explains the checklist format and organization. Checklists are presented for five categories of water and wastewater system facilities and components: Surface Facilities and Components; Storage, Distribution, and Collection Components; Treatment Facilities and Components; Support Equipment; and Administration, Operations and Maintenance Facility Contents.

This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepared by the Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering of ASCE This TCLEE Monograph provides guidelines for the seismic evaluation and upgrade of water transmission facilities, including aqueducts, tunnels, canals, buried pipelines, elevated pipelines and their appurtenances. Topics covered include the performance of these facilities in past earthquakes; geotechnical issues; performance criteria; risk analysis; analysis methods; and a series of case studies. The guidelines can also be used for the design of new water transmission facilities. The case studies cover seismic designs and retrofits for the Mokelumne Aqueduct, the Contra Costa Canal, the Borel Canal, buried pipes at fault crossings, and auxiliary water fire fighting systems. The case studies also examine post-earthquake operations, financial issues, and the benefits of seismic retrofits.

This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 920 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquakes represent a major risk to buildings, bridges and other civil infrastructure systems, causing catastrophic loss to modern society. Handbook of seismic risk analysis and management of civil infrastructure systems reviews the state of the art in the seismic risk analysis and management of civil infrastructure systems. Part one reviews research in the quantification of uncertainties in ground motion and seismic hazard assessment. Part twi discusses methodologies in seismic risk analysis and management, whilst parts three and four cover the application of seismic risk assessment to buildings, bridges, pipelines and other civil infrastructure systems. Part five also discusses methods for quantifying dependency between different infrastructure systems. The final part of the book considers ways of assessing financial and other losses from earthquake damage as well as setting insurance rates. Handbook of seismic risk analysis and management of civil infrastructure systems is an invaluable guide for professionals requiring understanding of the impact of earthquakes on buildings and lifelines, and the seismic risk assessment and management of buildings, bridges and transportation. It also provides a comprehensive overview of seismic risk analysis for researchers and engineers within these fields. This important handbook reviews the wealth of recent research in the area of seismic hazard analysis in modern earthquake design code provisions and practices Examines research into the analysis of ground motion and seismic hazard assessment, seismic risk hazard methodologies Addresses the assessment of seismic risks to buildings, bridges, water supply systems and other aspects of civil infrastructure

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utility managers are always looking for appropriate tools to estimate seismic damage in wastewater networks located in earthquake prone areas. Fragility curves, as an appropriate tool, are recommended for seismic vulnerability analysis of buried pipelines, including pressurised and unpressurised networks. Fragility curves are developed in pressurised networks mainly for water networks. Fragility curves are also recommended for seismic analysis in unpressurised networks. Applying fragility curves in unpressurised networks affects accuracy of seismic damage estimation. This study shows limitations of these curves in unpressurised networks. Multiple case study analysis was applied to demonstrate the limitations of the application of fragility curves in unpressurised networks in New Zealand. Four wastewater networks within New Zealand were selected as case studies and various fragility curves used for seismic damage estimation. Observed damage in unpressurised networks after the 2007 earthquake in Gisborne and the 2010 earthquake in Christchurch demonstrate the appropriateness of the applied fragility curves to New Zealand wastewater networks. This study shows that the application of fragility curves, which are developed from pressurised networks, cannot be accurately used for seismic damage assessment in unpressurised wastewater networks. This study demonstrated the effects of different parameters on seismic damage vulnerability of unpressurised networks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Seismic risk analysis and systemic vulnerability assessment provide useful information to emergency managers for preparing mitigation measures, emergency response and recovery from an earthquake. The goal of this study is to integrate seismic risk analysis with evacuation modeling and first responders operations to understand the systemic vulnerability in an urban area. This involves: (a) modeling evacuation for a moderate seismic zone, (b) developing a framework for earthquake evacuation planning, (c) modeling destination choices in the aftermath of an earthquake and (d) analyzing the systemic seismic vulnerability of transport infrastructure and emergency response services following an earthquake.A shelter model is developed for a region of moderate seismic activity. Shelter demand is estimated by a binary discrete choice model. The method is demonstrated for the city of Montreal. The results of the choice model are compared to those obtained with the HAZUS methodology which underestimates shelter needs. The shelter demand model is integrated with the transportation model. The microscopic model is applied to evaluate traffic performance following an earthquake. The microscopic model estimates that most of arterial and access roads of highly vulnerable boroughs in downtown Montreal are highly congested in the aftermath of an earthquake due to the increase in demand and the presence of debris and damaged infrastructure. This study also applies discrete choice models for the behavior of evacuees in the aftermath of an earthquake using households as the unit of analysis to inprove current estimates of shelter needs. The model considers heterogeneous mixtures of population in terms of income and ethnicity from different parts of the city of Montreal. The Stated Preference method, using various hypothetical scenarios of shelter choice game in the event of a large earthquake, is applied to collect information on destination choices. Analysis of the collected data on destination choices reveals that age, ethnicity, income, types of accommodation, household with children, road condition, building damage, distance from home to shelter and power outage are critical attributes to influence the destination choices of households. The presence of debris can reduce significantly the capacity of the road network following an earthquake. A procedure to evaluate some of the impacts of earthquake generated debris is proposed in this study. A probabilistic model is developed and validated to estimate roadside debris generated during an earthquake and to evaluate the impact on systemic seismic vulnerability of transportation networks and emergency facilities. This methodology is applied to the LaSalle borough of Montreal. This study evaluates the response capability of emergency facilities (hospital and fire stations) of the study area following a major earthquake in order to assess the systemic vulnerability. Systemic seismic vulnerability is high for the areas with maximum damage on buildings and transport infrastructures, and located far away from the emergency facilities. Findings of this study can help to identify critical emergency services and components of road infrastructure for evacuation, emergency response and recovery of affected communities from an earthquake. This information can be used to develop various emergency response plans for earthquake scenarios and identify and prioritize critical components of the infrastructure for seismic retrofits." --
