In this article damage to pipelines from both the direct and indirect effects of earthquakes are shown to be least in bedrock, intermediate in coarse‐grained Sediments, and maximum in fine‐grained sediments. If maintenance and repair costs after an earthquake are considered in a route selection for a pipeline, a more expensive route may be more desirable from the long‐term Standpoint.
