Seismically caused failure of buried lifelines can result in disastrous events. Due to the grave consequences of those failures in past earthquakes, the need for reliable models examining the dynamic response of lifelines under earthquake excitation grows. In the present work, a methodology is developed to analyse the damage risk of buried lifelines exposed to seismic wave propagation. In order to perform this analysis, a three-dimensional numerical model is developed to describe the dynamic response of pipelines embedded in soil. Thereby, the emphasis is placed on three topics: the incorporation of dynamic soil-structure interaction, the advanced modelling of seismic excitation, and the over-all consideration of uncertainties.
