Abstract:
The serviceability of water supply networks (WSNs) under seismic loads has significant importance for estimating the probable losses and the impact of diminished functionality on affected communities. The innovation presented in this paper is suggesting a new strategy to evaluate the seismic serviceability of WSNs, utilizing their operational physical mechanism. On one hand, this method can obtain the seismic serviceability of each node as well as entire WSNs. On the other hand, this method can dynamically reflect the propagation of randomness from ground motions to WSNs. First, a finite element model is established to capture the seismic response of buried pipe networks, and a leakage model is suggested to obtain the leakage area of WSNs. Second, the transient flow analysis of WSNs with or without leakage is derived to obtain dynamic water flow and pressure. Third, the seismic serviceability of WSNs is analyzed based on the probability density evolution method (PDEM). Finally, the seismic serviceability of a real WSN in Mianzhu city is assessed to illustrate the method. The case study shows that randomness from the ground motions can obviously affect the leakage state and the probability density of the nodal head during earthquakes.
