| Abstract: |
Malaysia is currently in the process of transitioning from non-seismic to seismic design. Existing Malaysian building codes do not require seismic loads to be considered. However, with recent seismic activity in Malaysia and nearby region, Malaysia is spurred into action to consider seismic loads. Seismic design brings with it unique considerations and challenges. This paper will examine the effects of seismic activity on structures and how they can be considered in design. Discussed in this paper are the considerations required for structures complying with Malaysian National Annex (MS EN 1998-1) which includes the response spectrum, modal analysis, modal combination, accidental eccentricity, load combinations and seismic design. Computer methods using the Esteem Structural Software will be presented. |
