- Abstract
- These proceedings document the results of the Fourth U. S.-Japan Workshop on Earthquake Disaster Prevention for Lifeline Systems held on August 19-21, 1992, in Los Angeles, California. The theme of the workshop focused on "Future Directions for Research, Application, Design of Lifeline Systems." Technical topics discussed include: effects of solis on lifeline components; seismic design and retrofit of lifeline systems; dynamic response and analysis of lifeline systems; repair and rehabilitation of lifeline systems; system reliability methods for lifeline systems; post-earthquake damage detection procedures; socioeconomic and environmental impact of lifeline system failure; and emergency and disaster response management of lifeline systems. Thirty papers were presented in two days of plenary sessions; 16 papers from Japan and 14 papers from the U. S.
