Download or read book Acceptable Risk Processes written by Craig E. Taylor and published by Amer Society of Civil Engineers. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides the vital tools engineers and decision makers need to better understand acceptable risk processes and how those processes can enable them to develop risk reduction strategies and implement mitigation actions to reduce lifeline losses from future earthquakes. Because the disruption of lifelines from natural hazards has a direct impact on the worldýýýs regional economies and the health of its citizens, it is important to understand natural hazards, how they can impact lifelines, and what can be done to minimize the impact when they occur. These three elements and the processes used to act upon them affect decisions that involve acceptable risk processes. The topic of "acceptable risk" provides one way of bringing integrated systems risk evaluations for disaster explicitly into a decision-making context. Topics include technical issues; risk criteria issues; and communication, administration, and regulations issues.
Download or read book Fire Following Earthquake written by Charles Scawthorn and published by ASCE Publications. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepared by the Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering of ASCE. This TCLEE Monograph covers the entire range of fire following earthquake (FFE) issues, from historical fires to 20th-century fires in Kobe, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Northridge. FFE has the potential of causing catastrophic losses in the United States, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, and other seismically active countries with wood houses. This comprehensive book on FFE and urban conflagrations provides state-of-the-practice insight on unique issues, such as large diameter flex hose applications by fire and water departments. Topics include: History of past fires; Computer modeling of fire spread in the post-earthquake urban environment; Concurrent damage and fire impacts for water, power gas, communication and transportation systems; Examples of reliable water systems built or designed in San Francisco, Vancouver, Berkeley, and Kyoto; Use of large diameter (5 in.) and ultralarge diameter (12 in.) flex hose for fire fighting and water restoration; and Cost-effectiveness of various FFE mitigation strategies, with a detailed benefit-cost model. Water utility engineers, fire fighting professionals, and emergency response planners will benefit from reading this book.

Download or read book Advancing Mitigation Technologies and Disaster Response for Lifeline Systems written by James E. Beavers and published by Amer Society of Civil Engineers. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 1078 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Proceedings presents 107 state-of-the-art reports and results of studies by investigators who have analyzed and evaluated the effects of natural and technological hazards on lifelines. New research has been conducted on the seismic performance of lifelines, new standards and codes have been developed, and major lifeline projects have been rehabilitated, designed, and constructed. The lifeline performance of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline during the November 3, 2002, Denali Fault earthquake demonstrates how lifelines properly designed and constructed for severe earthquake ground motions can perform well. The Sixth U.S. Conference and Workshop on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering (TCLEE 2003) was held in Long Beach, California, on the 10th anniversary year of the 1993 Long Beach earthquake. The theme for TCLEE 2003: Advancing Mitigation Technologies and Disaster Response highlighted the need to focus all efforts on natural and technological hazards. Topics include: Lifeline Management and Policy Issues; Transportation System Preparedness, Response, and Recovery; Retrofit and Policy Issues with the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) System; Post-Earthquake Investigations and Lifeline Performance During Earthquakes; Lifeline Guides and Codes; Performance of Ports and Wharves; Water and Waste Water Systems and Components; The Trans-Alaska Pipeline and the 2002 Denali Fault Earthquake; Electric Power Guidelines and Performance of Equipment; Design, Mitigation, and Performance of Underground Pipelines; Seismic Hazard and Risk Issues; Seismic Risk Analysis of Highway Systems; Geotechnical Lifeline Issues; and Innovative Mitigation of Bridges.

Download or read book Lifeline Earthquake Engineering written by Michael J. O'Rourke and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents recent advances in research, practice, post earthquake investigation, and public policy in lifeline earthquake engineering as a discipline and as a component of infrastructure rehabilitation. Written by utility engineers, consultants, managers, and transportation agency personnel from various nations, papers review newer emerging topics of lifeline interaction and socio-economic effects, as well as hazard assessment methods, analysis procedures, and design approaches. Topics range from bridge analysis and rehabilitation to bridge earthquake damage assessment, electric power and communications to gas and liquid fuels. Case studies and papers detail the seismic assessment of offshore pipelines; above ground pipeline response to random ground motion; bridge prioritization for emergency responses; inspection and rehabilitation of tunnels across faults; and spectral characteristics of vertical ground motion in the Northridge and other earthquakes.

Download or read book Infrastructure Risk Management Processes written by Craig E. Taylor and published by Amer Society of Civil Engineers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrastructure Risk Management Processes: Natural, Accidental, and Deliberate Hazards, discusses quantification of exposure and vulnerability of complex, spatially distributed systems, yielding estimates of local and system-wide potential losses, for different alternatives in multi-hazard decision situations. These situations require an integration of scientific, engineering, social, administrative, psychological, and political processes with advances, setbacks, and many uncertainties. This monograph consists of eight papers that illustrate work done to date and plans for work to be done on managing these risks for potable water, electric power, transportation and other infrastructure systems threatened by earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, severe storms, saboteurs, and various other hazards. This monograph, produced by the Risk and Vulnerability Committee of the Council on Disaster Risk Management (CDRM), is a sequel to a previous monograph, Acceptable Risk Processes: Lifelines and Natural Hazards (2002), published by ASCE. Topics covered include: Hazard Issues; Systems Evaluation Issues; Risk Criteria Issues; and Systems Management Issues.

Chapters 6 - 11 explain typical system configurations and overall operation of the following lifelines: power, water, sewage, transportation, communications, liquid fuel and natural gas systems. System facilities and equipment are described for each lifeline, including their role in overall system operation and their seismic performance. Detailed guidance is provided for their investigation. Chapter 12 discusses tanks and emergency power, facilities common to many lifelines. The appendices present check lists in a form that can be used as field guides during investigations. report writing, and references to reconnaissance reports.
