ISTT webinar Hazard Resilient Infrastructure and Lessons from the Turkey Syria Earthquake

ISTTHazard Resilient Infrastructure and Lessons from the Turkey-Syria Earthquake

Resilient underground infrastructure can accommodate large ground deformation from earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, adjacent construction, and subsidence. Professor O’Rourke will describe how ten new pipeline and conduit systems have been developed and commercialized using a protocol of large-scale tests and fault rupture experiments. Contributions from trenchless technology are discussed. The development and validation of analytical models for the soil-structure interaction of these systems are also described. Lessons learned from the Kahramanmaras, Turkey earthquake are summarized with respect to ground deformation effects on underground infrastructure.
