The earthquake vulnerability of a utility system.

Material type: Text

TextPublication details: Chicago, Ill. : Institute of Technology, 1992Description: [4] pDDC classification:

363.3495 21

Subject: Describes a method to assess the earthquake vulnerability of a utility system and presents an example application. Southern California Edison (Edison) recently applied this method to its system. First, the seismic hazard of the system is modeled. Next, the damage and operational disruption to the facilities are estimated. The approach described herein formulates the problem so that the best documented and judgmental information on the earthquake performance of a utility's components can be utilized. Finally, the activities and estimates of the time necessary to restore the system to different levels of service are developed. This method of analysis provides a realistic picture of the resiliency of utility service, not just vulnerabilities of various types of equipment
