Lifeline Performance
Paperback
Publication Date: 31/07/1999
On January 17, 1995, the Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake struck the Kobe, Japan, area. The earthquake and subsequent fires resulted in 6,300 deaths, 30,000 injuries, the destruction of 150.000 buildings, and left 300,000 homeless. The estimated direct economic losses of USD200 billion are the largest ever observed from an earthquake. Damage to transportation, water and gas, power, and communication systems was phenomenal. This monograph discusses the earthquake performance of power, communication, water, and gas systems, in addition to railways, highways, and airports. Chapters on geotechnical and strong ground motion, and performance of lifelines in hospitals are also included. For each of the lifelines, facility damage is described and, where information is available, the effect of facility performance is discussed. Reports identify lessons learned and recommendations for research.
