This paper considers an approach to improving the service performance of fiberglass composite pipelines under seismic conditions by modifying the thermosetting binder with plasticizing and toughening additives aimed at increasing fracture toughness and reducing the material’s tendency to brittle failure under alternating-sign and impulse actions. The relevance of the study is driven by the fact that conventional pipeline materials (steel, reinforced concrete) have significant limitations when op
