Effectiveness of Water Supply Pipeline Systems Using Ductile Iron Pipes and Seismic Resistant Joints against Heavy Rain and Typhoon Disasters in Japan
Publication: Lifelines 2022
ABSTRACT
Natural disasters such as floods and slope failures due to heavy rainfalls and strong typhoons have frequently occurred in recent years in Japan. Many water supply pipelines were damaged by deluges and debris flows. No damage, however, was observed for water supply pipelines using ductile iron pipes and seismic resistant joints, which are referred as Earthquake Resistant Ductile Iron Pipes: ERDIPs, originally developed for earthquake countermeasures. The purpose of this paper is to clarify why ERDIPs were effective against deluges and debris flows. To this purpose, the behavior of ERDIPs installed in the liquefied ground at the site of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake was studied. Then, the behavior of ERDIPs that were actually undamaged by floods and landslides was clarified in the same way. Finally, the use of hazard maps to create a water supply pipeline that is resistant not only to earthquakes, but also to storms and floods is proposed.
