Professional Series :

Seismic Design and Earthquake Engineering (Part 3 of 5) :

Lessons learnt from 2015 Sabah earthquake

Synopsis

On 5th June 2015, an earthquake with a moment magnitude of 6 hit Ranau, Sabah, Malaysia. The earthquake damaged several public buildings such as schools, hospitals, hotels, and mosques. The reconnaissance reports showed that the main reason for the seismic-induced damage to structures and infrastructures in Sabah relies on the fact that they were not designed and detailed for seismic actions.

The main aim of this webinar is to present the observed damage to the structures and infrastructures and discuss their reasons in detail. Besides, the requirements of seismic design codes to avoid such damage will be explained. In addition, retrofitting methods that can prevent observed damage in the future will be explained and discussed. This webinar is beneficial for design engineers in consultant companies and architects.
