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.

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.
