Transcripción del abstract original del autor: In this paper, a new method is developed for evaluation of earthquake resistance of buried pipelines. Not only the strength of pipeline materials but also the shape of pipeline networks, the seismic response of the ground, and the effect of liquefaction are taken into consideration to evaluate actual earthquake resistance of existing buried pipeline networks. Using this evaluation method, weak points of pipeline networks can be picked up and rational measures against earthquakes can be achieved for existing pipelines.
