Abstract

City Gas system is an important urban infrastructure. Historical earthquakes show gas system is vulnerable in the earthquake. Earthquake damage of the gas system is mainly pipeline damage. Damage usually concentrated in low-pressure pipe and tube into the household, especially the joint pulling out or pulling off and pipeline rupture. How to assess the economic loss quickly of gas system after earthquake is an urgent problem. By collating earthquake damage data of gas system, the characteristics of earthquake damage are analyzed. The investigations of the pipeline repair cost and the broken road repair cost are carried out in Ningbo City. Then the repair costs for different diameters of different gas pipes are reasonably given. The results provide a reasonable data of earthquake economic losses evaluation for the gas pipeline system.
