OpenSRA

Welcome to the OpenSRA homepage. OpenSRA started as a research project funded by the California Energy Commission. The goal of the first research project was to create a user-friendly desktop application to assess the seismic risk of natural gas pipelines in California. The development of OpenSRA continues to expand with the implementation of state-of-the-art sensing technologies into the risk framework, and with the application to other utilities (e.g. water and electric). Future updates will be included on this homepage.

OpenSRA1

OpenSRA (now referred to as OpenSRA1) was the initial research project that investigated the seismic demand and fragilities of natural gas pipelines throughout California. These demands included liquefaction, landsliding, lateral spreading, ground shaking, and fault displacement. Fragility curves for above-ground infrastructure, buried pipelines, and storage facilities were created and implemented into the program.

OpenSRA2

OpenSRA2 builds on the software developed in the OpenSRA1 project. This project specifically investigates state-of-the-art sensing technologies and identifies how they can help inform the analysis performed by the software. This project will also provide guidance about monitoring technologies that natural gas infrastructure owners can understand and implement quickly. A complete systems approach that includes sensors, field data collection, data management and analysis, and risk assessment will be implemented.
