Performance of Natural Gas Systems during the 17 October 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake

这项研究计划是收集10月17日北加利福尼亚州(洛马普列塔)地震的易腐烂数据的倡议的一部分。其目的是收集有关地下天然气分配系统性能的数据。这些数据至少包括关于地震对天然气设施的破坏的信息、关于天然气系统维修类型和程度的数据、应急和恢复工作的文件，与地震有关的与天然气有关的火灾数量的数据，以及关于地面严重位移或沉降区的信息。江口博士负责为地震工程研究所对洛马普里塔地震的勘察工作收集有关天然气系统的初步信息。

This research program is part of the initiative to collect perishable data resulting from the 17 October 1989 Northern California (Loma Prieta) earthquake. The objective is to collect data on the performance of underground natural gas distribution systems. These data include, as a minimum, information on earthquake damage to natural gas facilities, data on the type and extent of repairs to natural gas systems, documentation of emergency response and recovery efforts, data on the number of natural gas-related fires associated with the earthquake, and information on areas of severe ground displacement or settlement. Dr. Eguchi was responsible for collecting preliminary information on natural gas systems for the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute reconnaissance effort for the Loma Prieta earthquake.
