Proceedings of the 1985 pressure vessels and piping conference. Volume PVP-98-4. Seismic performances of pipelines and storage tanks

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5768535

The seismic performance of lifeline components is a relatively new area of interest which has attracted an ever increasing number of researchers in the past few years. Lifelines are critical systems used to transport energy, water, power and to provide voice and data communications. This publication deals primarily with the seismic performance of buried pipelines and storage tanks. The purpose of this section of the Pressure Vessels and Piping Division Conference is to provide a forum for the discussion of the recent developments in lifeline earthquake engineering related to pipelines and storage used for water, chemicals, oil and gas. Papers are presented in the following topics: (i) Pipeline Response to Large Ground Movements; (ii) Seismic Performance of Lifeline Components; (iii) Lifeline Systems Response to Earthquake; (iv) Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction; (v) Seismic Response and Analysis of Pipelines.
