| Summary: | This research comes as a part of the recent initiatives in Malaysia to assess the
hazard posed by earthquakes. There have been numerous seismic hazard studies so far
that included Malaysian territories, thus there was a need to assess how reliable those
studies are.
Two main potential contributors to error were identified: 1) seismic hazard
analysis method 2) ground motion prediction equation (GMPE). The amount of
variations in predictions a faulty GMPE can produce is huge, thus this research
concentrates on assessing the available GMPEs and generating one specific for
Malaysia. |
