Lifelines Performance of the Mw 8.8 Offshore BIOBÍO,Chile Earthquake

author

Abstract:

The paper will provide a summary of all lifelines performance in this strong earthquake. The paper will discuss the damage, emergency response, and recovery of electric power, telecommunication, transportation (roads and bridges), seaports, airports, water and wastewater, and their facilities. The impact as a result of the lifelines service interruption will be discussed; most important is the discussion of lifelines interdependence. Each lifeline will be separated into its own section that presents the failure modes, emergency response, and recovery of service. Each section will end with observations and recommendations.

Performance of industrial facilities and lifelines during the October 23rd, 2011 Van, Turkey Earthquake

Damage to essential facilities (e.g. lifelines and industrial facilities) due to extreme loads may cause remarkable indirect impact as well as direct physical loss. Hence understanding seismic performance of essential facilities is very important in high seismic risk regions. On October 23, 2011 an earthquake of magnitude Mw7.2 occurred in Van province in eastern Turkey. Several damages occurre...

Accelerated nucleation of the 2014 Iquique, Chile Mw 8.2 Earthquake

The earthquake nucleation process has been vigorously investigated based on geophysical observations, laboratory experiments, and theoretical studies; however, a general consensus has yet to be achieved. Here, we studied nucleation process for the 2014 Iquique, Chile Mw 8.2 megathrust earthquake located within the current North Chile seismic gap, by analyzing a long-term earthquake catalog cons...
