Abstract;It is essential for disaster prevention to quantify the earthquake vulnerability of urban infrastructures in consideration of their life cycle. As part of a five-year study on this subject, presented in this article are: the refinement of prediction of strong motions, examinations into actual performance of nonstructural components, rational evaluation of RC building structures in consideration of foundation-structure interaction, effects of total earth pressure on pile forces, and development of a systematic procedure for the estimation of life-cycle cost for large-scale lifeline network.
