Seismic Analysis on Multi-Storey Steel Structures in Malaysia

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of earthquake in low, medium and high rise structures in Malaysia. Structural design in Malaysia may overlook the significance of earthquake loading as earthquakes rarely happen in Malaysia region. The occurrences of several tremors in neighboring countries such as Philippines and Indonesia have triggered a series of vibrations which were felt on some of the buildings in Malaysia. This study shows the analysis of low, medium and high rise steel structures subjected to earthquake loading in provision of Eurocode 8 EN 1998-1:2004.
