Abstract: In recent years, the occurrence of seismic natural disasters has threatened the post-fault performance of community lifelines in seismically prone parts of the world. Among all utilities, natural gas and electricity serve a significant portion of domestic energy consumption in residential regions. Meanwhile, due to their more proximity to seismic waves, underground natural gas networks seem more vulnerable to earthquakes, and their functionality can be disrupted for several days.
