ca FEATURE Preview of National Annex to EC8: f, 1 Seismic Loadings for Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak INTRODUCTION In April 2013, a technical paper entitled, Recommended Earthquake Loading Model For Peninsular Malaysia was published in IEM Jurutera, This was followed by a publication in IStruct Conference 2013 (held in Beijing and ‘Shanghai) under the ttle Earthquake Loading Model in The Proposed National Annex To Eurocode8 For Peninsular Malaysia, both of which were presented by Professor Nelson Lam (refer to Figure 1). In both papers. the Preliminary Hybrid Seismic Response Spectrum Model for Peninsular Malaysia was presented internationally for the first time. sana Conference 2013 pope “Farad Ltn Moth rp Nao nest ara fr eee arrngua Nelson Lam Depron of nascent. “The Univesity of Mou, Figure 1: Front cover of Itucté Conference 2013 paper From the April 2013 IEM workshop on earthquake and the two technical papers published in 2013, the following are the key points to note: 1. The use of 2,500-year return period and displacement based approach for seismic analysis. 2. One unified stendardised seismic response spectrum model developed for the whole peninsula 3, Twortier site factor approach to account for local conditions, In the IEM workshop on "2-day Workshop on Recommended Earthquake Loading Model in the Proposed National Annex to Euro Code 8 for Sabah, Sarawak & 32. | JURUTERA Soptomber 2014 bye Prot M,C. Hoo Updated Model for Peninsular Malaysia", held on 1éth-17th July, 2014, the’ updated preliminary design spectrum for Peninsular Malaysia, and a newly established preliminary design spectrum for Sabah and Sarawak were introduced, The report gave a brief introduction into the three response spectra mentioned above, for 2 return period of 2,500 years of seismic wave transmission at bedrock level PENINSULAR MALAYSIA For the distant earthquake model, the Uniform Hazard ‘Spectrum (UHS) developed by Papin et al (2011) was, modulated to incorporate the latest updates of Ground Motion Prediction Models. For the local earthquake. 2 deterministic design scenario of M6 at R=20km, based on global hazard model was recommended, reconciling with the world average of intraplate earthquakes for 2 return period of 2,500 years, ‘The updated model was revised from the proposed 2013 Design Spectrum Model for Peninsular Malaysia to cater, for better understanding of local intraplate earthquakes ‘and modulated comer periods. Combining both distant and local hazards, the updated model was presented in both displacementbased and force-based formats, and expressed algebraically. in a manner similar to EC8 peak ‘ground acceleration format. Figure 2a below is the displacement spectra, and figure 2bis the acceleration spectra, From the figures. up to period ‘of 2s, the spectra is controlled by the local earthquake. after 2s the distant earthquake controls. ‘SARAWAK With reference to Kuching. Sarawak. earthquakes of magnitude 3.5Mb to 5.3Mb have occurred within 500 km from Kuching. There are some major faults in the State, including the Kelwait Fault and Bukit Mesing Fault Figure 3). A single unified response spectrum for Sarawak is recommended. using the same principle as that for the Updated model for Peninsular Malaysia, such thatthe local and distant models are regulated using the displacement format (Figure 4a) end presented both in displacement and EC8 peak around acceleration format (Figure 4b). As seen in the figure, the design spectrum for Sarawak is controlled by the local earthquakes.FEATURE = Ue er cauetanmqaten Tm Sty oor = vem etn rar RS) cea 006| — ——Dscenee eat sesso Feteamat pres 70) 06s: RSO(m) oo 003} 02: oor os i 15 2 23 3 ss 8 aS 8 i) Registore in cdl PO CHNT 32 HINT ELECTRIC. ‘THEBIGGESTLY COMPONENTS MANUFACTURER IN (CHINA AND REGISTERED UNDER SHANGHAI STOCK ‘EXGHANGE (REG: 60187) Figure 2a: Displacement format of Design Spectrum mode! fr Peninsular Molaysia vette) —0= Devan tere 8 8) ca entne —Darscenee nat sceeeFet ene pte TC) Scone cere 20081) >) Ue sauces ma ty) 0 oS 1 45 2 25 3 35 4 45 To) ‘Figure 2: ECB pk ground ecceleration format Deion Specrum model or Penis Malaysia Local seismicity and distance reference to Kuching Sarawak errr rs Pee eC EL TS area paren set rer Prenat Figure 3: Kuching Reference Distance fo aut zones SABAH Since Sabeh is very near highly volatile, earthquake-prone countries ‘such as Indonesia anc Philippines, the chances of an earthquake happening there cannot be taken lightly or overruled.

CONCLUSION itcan be concluded that Hybrid Design Response Spectrum for Peninsular Malaysia is @ combination of short and long distant earthquake with ‘@ peak ground acceleration of 0.19 for a return period of 2,500 years at bedrock level 1. Hybrid Design Response Spectrum for Sarawak is dominated by local earthquake with a peak ground acceleration of 0.1g for a return period of 2,500 years at bedrock level. 2. Hybrid Design Response Spectrum for Sabah is dominated by long distant earthquake with a peak {ground acceleration of 0.189 for a return period of 2.500 years at bedrock level 3. Preliminary structural cost increase (excluding foundation) is only 3.4% for a 10-storey building. mt 1 Prot. MC.
