- Abstract
- The report is the product of a joint research effort by scientists in the United States and the People's Republic of China. The report discusses damage to buried lifeline systems, resulting from four recent severe earthquakes--the 1971 San Fernando, California Earthquake, the 1975 Hai-Cheng, China Earthquake, the 1976 Tangshan, China Earthquake, and the 1978 Miyagi-Ken-Oki, Japan Earthquake. Common types of damage to buried pipeline and factors influencing them are listed.
