SEISMIC HAZARD ASSESSMENT OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA USING FAR FIELD INTERPLATE AND LOCAL INTRAPLATE EARTHQUAKE SOURCES

The present work is to develop suitable attenuation relationship to estimate ground response for Peninsular Malaysia. Deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard assessments aided by a systematic logic tree incorporating both far-field and local sources and utilizing the ground motion (earthquake) data collected during the period 2004-2016 were conducted. Results showed that the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia is susceptible to higher hazard. However, This study concludes that the current strong ground motion parameters selected in most of the design are adequate.
