This report provides a record of lifeline performance during the
two most damaging U.S. earthquakes at the start of 21st century.
Information is provided on current seismic practice, on the seismic
resistance and vulnerability of different infrastructure, and on
the present understanding of engineers who design roads, bridges,
pipelines, and power systems. This monograph will be useful to
researchers, practicing engineers, and administrators interested in
the repercussions of building lifelines near earthquake faults, on
seasonally frozen soils, on loose sands and alluvium, and in
regions with complex or unknown seismicity. The Earthquake
Investigations Committee of the Technical Council of Lifeline
Earthquake engineering (TCLEE), American Society of Civil Engineers
(ASCE) was established to initiate, organize, train for,
coordinate, and evaluate the performance of lifelines following
earthquakes. It includes topics on the San Simeon Earthquake:
Seismology and Geotechnical Issues; Communications; Dams; Power
Systems; Gas and Liquid Fuel; Highways and Bridges; Airports and
Ports; Railroads; Water Systems; Wastewater Systems; and Emergency
Response. Topics on the Denali Earthquake: Seismology and
Geotechnical Issues; Highway System; Trans-Alaska Pipeline System
(TAPS); Airports; Water and Wastewater; Communications; Railways;
and Electric Power.
