Thepotential damage to lifelines from even moderate earthquakes can havesignificant and widespread effects on community well-being. Recently, under thesponsorship of the United States Geological Survey, researchers from Californiacooperated with a utility in Utah to analyze the seismicsafety of natural gas facilities in Utah. They identified pipelinesby system importance, size, and material, and then assessed theprobability of structural damage to these components. These estimates, whichreflect knowledge of Wasatch Front fault mechanisms, and an abilityto model numerous seismic events by computer, are yielding significantknowledge of possible piping responses.Project results included the number andlocation of possible...
