Abstract :
The seismic safety of city gas supply has been the major research topic of the writers in past decades. To avoid earthquake hazards due to leakage of gas from breakage of buried pipes, a real-time safety control system, SUPREME, has been deployed and put into practical use. SUPREME employs 3,800 new spectrum intensity sensors and remote control devices to achieve quick gas supply shut off. It monitors the earthquake motion at a large number of sites on a real-time basis, interprets the data, and assesses gas pipe damage in order to decide whether or not the gas supply should be interrupted. The present paper first describes the philosophy behind this system. Second, it describes the performance of the system during the recent Taiwan earthquakes as well as more significant design earthquakes. This system represents the state-of-the-art of computer-operated safety measures, achieved by advanced geotechnical engineering.
