This paper describes a simulation-based methodology being developed to model post earthquake restoration processes as part of the MCEER research on the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's (LADWP's) electric and water supply systems. Post-earthquake restoration models play an important role in estimating the economic impact of earthquake damage to lifeline systems. The focus of this study is on electric power system but in the future the proposed methodology will be extended to develop a multi-lifeline restoration model that can take into account the effects of infrastructure interdependencies on the restoration processes. This paper begins with a discussion of the available restoration modeling approaches, listing advantages and disadvantages of each. The new simulation-based methodology is described and key innovations that distinguish it from previous approaches explained. Then details of the preliminary model and plans for future work are discussed.

Post-earthquake restoration planning for Los Angeles electric power Ertuğrul, Zehra; Guikema, Seth D. (2006-08-01) This paper describes the application of a new discrete-event-simulation model of the post-earthquake electric power restoration process in Los Angeles. The findings are that (1) Los Angeles residents may experience power outages lasting up to 10 days; (2) what we call the power rapidity risk (the joint probability distribution of restoration of a specified number of customers in a specified amount of time) varies throughout the area; (3) there is a relatively high likelihood that more repair materials than ...
Post disaster temporary houses : the production of place in the case of 1999 Marmara Earthquakes in Kocaeli Baş, Sibel; Cengizkan, Ali; Department of Architecture (2011) This master thesis will be focusing on prefabricated temporary houses and settlements in Kocaeli – as a place-making process – throughout post disaster reconstruction period of 1999 Marmara Earthquakes. Main stimulant for this research is the lack of acknowledgement of transforming urban and social environments under the overwhelming forces of disasters both in academic and professional domains in the country. Appropriation and self-identification of temporary accommodation is a way of adaptation and a reac...
HORIZONTAL PRODUCER WELLS IN INSITU COMBUSTION (ISC) PROCESSES GREAVES, M; TUWIL, AA; BAGCI, AS (Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), 1993-04-01) A simple 3-D physical model has been developed to investigate the use of horizontal producer wells in in situ combustion processes. The semi-scaled 3-D model was a rectangular box with 40 cm by 40 cm by 10 cm dimensions. Dry in situ combustion experiments were conducted with three different well configurations: (1) a vertical injector and horizontal producer, (2) a vertical injector and two horizontal producers, and (3) injector and producer, both vertical. A matrix of 60 thermocouples was used to obtain te...
Investigation of the groundwater modelling component of the Integrated Water Flow Model (IWFM) Ercan, Ali; Dogrul, Emin C.; Kadir, Tariq N. (2016-01-01) The Integrated Water Flow Model (IWFM), developed by the California Department of Water Resources, is an integrated hydrological model that simulates key flow processes including groundwater flows, streamflow, stream-aquifer interactions, rainfall-runoff and infiltration. It also simulates the agricultural water demand as a function of soil, crop and climatic characteristics, as well as irrigation practices, and allows the user to meet these demands through pumping and stream diversions. This study investig...
Cost effect of earthquake region and soil type for office buildings in Turkey Kanit, Recep; Gunduz, Murat; Ozkan, Omer (Elsevier BV, 2007-10-01) In this study, the change in the load-bearing system cost of a reinforced concrete office building has been investigated in relation to the earthquake regions and soil types. Three different office projects each with five stories were investigated. The structural design calculations have been made according to four different soil types and four different earthquake regions. According to each combination, concrete, steel and formwork adopted approximations were calculated to reach the rough cost of each offi...
