Seismic Reliability Analysis of Utility Networks


Abstract eng:
Utility systems are essential for assuring a high standard of life in developed countries. Water, electricity and roads are just some of the classical examples. Earthquakes can cause extensive and unforeseen damages to those infrastructures where the mutual dependence of structural and functional failures may give rise to domino – like effects. In the paper, it will be shown that the problem of analyzing the seismic reliability of water, electric power and transportation networks can be treated following the same approach, presenting a complete computational procedure, able to carry on both scenario and probabilistic analysis.
