Water Pipeline

The seismic damage and loss of service of pipeline engineering may have great influence on the society, so the seismic research of pipeline engineering had always been highly valued. In this paper, the seismic damage characteristics of pipeline and vulnerability of water pipeline system in Wenchuan earthquake are analyzed, some revelations have been presented. The seismic capacity of pipeline engineering in some towns and cities was not adequate, the pipeline systems suffered great losses in Wenchuan Earthquake, and effective seismic countermeasures should be considered in design and construction of water pipeline system in order to improve this situation.

Seismic Vulnerability Analysis

Dam damaged is one of common forms about lifeline engineering after earthquake raids. Based on the analysis of the seismic damaged conditions of 825 dams in Mianyang City, this paper establishes a dam’s seismic vulnerability matrix that suite for the Chinese specification. Compares the Mianyang city’s earth-rock dam seismic vulnerability matrix with the ATC-13’s that based on Delphi method, the vulnerability of dams in the Wenchuan earthquake is quite different with ATC-13’s, earth-rock dams of Mianyang City appear to be more vulnerable during earthquake. Base on date of seismic vulnerability matrix in Mianyang city, vulnerability curves are established. The vulnerability curves that fitted by beta function can be used to predict Chinese earth-rock dam’ seismic damage.

Seismic Vulnerability Analysis

Augmenting the flexural strength of columns in the seismic design of reinforced concrete (RC) moment resisting frames is a key measure among all the detailing procedures of seismic capacity design, which induces the desirable beam side-sway mechanism for the structure to dissipate energy during a strong earthquake. The objective of this paper is to assess the influence of various strong column factors which is employed to perform seismic vulnerability analysis to the seismic performance of a six-story deterministic RC frame structure. Seismic vulnerability analyses indicate that augmenting the flexural strength of columns is an effective measure to improve seismic performance of RC frame structures. Increasing strong column factor improves the displacement capacity of structure and induces the biggish grads between the different damage limit states, which provide caution to prevent the abrupt collapse of structure during a strong earthquake. Seismic vulnerability curves provide the quantitative criterion for evaluating the seismic performance of structure and choosing appropriate target strong column factor.

Water Supply Pipeline

Water supply pipeline system is a key issue in urban lifeline engineering, and the seismic assessment for the system damage is of significant importance. In this study, method of seismic damage assessment on underground water supply pipeline is introduced. With emphasis on the uncertainties of earthquake level, ground condition, soil-pipe interaction and capacity to resist pipe deformation in longitudinal direction, the check point method is applied to the reliability study of water pipeline, and a case study is presented to show the implementation of the proposed model.

Important Significance

In order to know seismic damage characteristics of multi-story brick masonry structure and improve its seismic capability, five kinds of earthquake damage or collapse forms of multi-story masonry brick structure are summed up based on earthquake disaster survey, each of which is analyzed with mechanics. And the failure mechanism of each seismic damage form of multi-story brick masonry structure are proposed, which provides effective engineering experience for the seismic or anti-collapse design of multi-story masonry brick structure. The research has the important significance in improving the seismic capacity of multi-story brick masonry structure and reducing the earthquake casualties.
