Earthquake Design of Underground Structures

as only a layman, i would'nt think think seismic loads would be much of an issue unless it's on a fault line. i would use flexible lines for intake and outlet lines.

may be you are correct but the moment when we have to submit calculations to the department, we can't say that those are not needed.

yes, i understand your postion. there's people on this site that can point you i n the right direction, but probably not the definate answer you need. i think you will have to find the information from the local authories.

Waiting for Experts advice...
