Are ductile iron pipes earthquake-resistant?

Ductile iron pipes have proven their outstanding performance in numerous earthquakes without damage. The origin behind the development of the S-type joint, the first of these earthquake-resistant joints (the mechanisms for connecting pipes), was the 1964 Niigata earthquake, which registered a magnitude of 7.5.

Why are earthquake-resistant pipes so important in Japan?

The importance of earthquake-resistant pipes in Japan was highlighted by the Kobe Earthquake in 1995. Following this event, the ratio of earthquake-resistant pipes among all ductile iron pipes increased significantly, from approximately 80% the year after the launch of GENEX to around 95% in 2017.

Do buried pipelines need earthquake resistance?

Buried pipelines are often subjected to damage by earthquakes. It is therefore necessary to take earthquake resistance into consideration, where applicable, in the design of the pipelines. In reclaimed ground and other areas where ground subsidence is expected, the pipeline design must also take the subsidence into consideration.

How do photovoltaic projects affect ecological corridors?

Ecological corridors not affected by Photovoltaic projects are more densely distributed in the east and south of the study area, while ecological corridors affected by Photovoltaic projects are more evenly distributed in the study area. 3.3. Effects of PV projects on the ecological networks 3.3.1. Effects on corridor patency

Is Kubota ductile iron pipe earthquake-resistant?

Kubota's ductile iron pipe, specifically the GENEX model, is earthquake-resistant. It was developed in 2010 and carries on the earthquake-resistant performance of S-type pipes. GENEX offers outstanding workability and an expected lifespan of 100 years.

Can earthquakes bolster the resilience of building structures?

Earthquakes, one of humanity's major natural challenges, are notoriously unpredictable and sudden, making accurate forecasting a formidable task. In response, researchers have devised a range of techniques to bolster the seismic resilience of building structures, achieving commendable progress in recent years.
