Malaysia and Singapore have adopted Eurocode 8 (EC8) for the seismic design of building
structures. The authors studied the seismic hazard modelling of the region surrounding …

In late 2017, the Malaysian National Annex (NA) to Eurocode 8 (EC8) was released and
enacted following some 13 years of deliberations and preparations. The authors of this …

This paper first critically reviews a seismological model and then a three-segment curve
model (in log-log space) to model the Qf relationship is proposed to overcome the potential …

During undrained cyclic loading of clayey soils, continuous pore pressure build-up changes
the effective stresses and decreases the stiffness and strength of the soil (eg Vucetic and …

The use of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) system is currently preferred because LRT is
sustainable, improves travel options and facilitates swift mobility in urban areas. Hence, the …

Malaysia is to adopt Eurocode 8 (EC8) in the seismic design of building structures. Some
members in the authorship of this paper have been researching into the seismic hazard …

The prediction of earthquake ground motions in accordance with recorded observations
from past events is the core business of engineering seismology. An attenuation model …

There has been numerous seismic hazard studies so far that includes Malaysian territories.
However, there is a need to assess how reliable those studies are. Two main potential …

This paper provides recommendations for setting performance requirements for the seismic
design of building structures in Hong Kong. Fundamental issues relating to the required …

Loading protocols have been developed for quasi-static cyclic testing of structures and
components. However, it is uncertain if protocols developed for conditions of intense ground …
