Proceedings of the Sixth China-Japan-U.S. Trilateral Symposium on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering held in Chengdu China May 28a''June 1 2013. Sponsored by Beijing University of Technology China; Kanazawa University Japan; University of Southern California U.S.A.; Southwest Jiaotong University China; Shanghai Institute of Disaster Prevention and Relief China; Research Institute of Lifeline Engineering Inc. Japan; Lifeline Network Kansai (LiNK) Japan; American Society of Civil Engineers Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering (TCLEE) U.S.A.; International Association of Chinese Geotechnical Engineers (IACGE) U.S.A.; and the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

This TCLEE Monograph contains 86 peer-reviewed papers covering recent developments in lifeline earthquake engineering involving water wastewater gas and liquid fuels electrical power telecommunications and transportation systems.

Topics include:

• seismicity ground motions and site effects
• seismic performance modeling evaluation and design of infrastructure systems
• seismic reliability and post-earthquake serviceability
• recovery and resilience of lifeline systems
• hospitals
• lifeline interactions
• fire following earthquake
