Ground Rupture Effects on Critical Lifelines: Strengthening Buried Pipelines and Utility Conduits to Avoid Post-Quake Disruption
The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and the Network for Earthquake Engineering Consortium are pleased to present a 90-minute online webinar that outlines key findings and implications from new research on how to improve the design and construction of buried pipelines and conduits used for water, natural gas, liquid fuel, electricity, and telecommunications.
- Cornell professor Thomas O'Rourke will alert you to how high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes performed during seismic tests and outline implications for mitigating extreme loads associated with floods, landslides, tunneling, deep excavations, mining, and oil production.
- Brian Sadden of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission will provide a practitioner's perspective on how research results are being transformed into practice in the San Francisco Bay Area.
- Robert Zirlin of Insituform Technologies, Inc. will describe how existing pipelines can be retrofitted.
