The paper presents damage of buried pipelines built according to current procedures, observed few months after the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake. The paper illustrates pictures from a visual inspection through remote-controlled camera of an important buried pipeline of the sewage pipeline network of Bazzano, near L’Aquila, of some km length. Almost all the pipes made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and high-density polyethylene have shown significant out-of-roundness. The survey shows a limited damage of the concrete made pipes, with some sections experiencing a more considerable damage, likely due to a slip of the nearby fault of Bazzano. The most severe damage at the gasket between pipes is ascribed to curvature or elongation, imposed by the earthquake to the ground. Seismic load conditions listed in the Eurocode 8 for a buried pipeline are presented and discussed. The visual inspection of the pipeline system provides experimental validation of the calculation models based on Eurocode 8 for the most significant conditions in the design process: the ground rupture and the different ground motion from point to point (wave-passage effect).
