| Popis: | The aim of this paper is to estimate the response spectra for moderate seismic area in Sarawak, Malaysia. In the present study, the response spectra for Miri district, in Sarawak, has been obtained by using 1-D equivalent linear site response analysis at 114 borehole locations. All the borehole sites are classified based on average shear wave velocity (Vs30) as per Malaysia National Annex to Eurocode 8 (MNA-EC8) site classifications using the geotechnical relationship. In this study, the input motion was selected from Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER-NGA) online database compatible with target response spectra of Sarawak at engineering bedrock by considering the seismic hazard map for 2475 years as return period and by following the 475 years return period as shown in (MNA-EC8). From the results of this study, it was found that the maximum response spectral acceleration (response spectra with 5% damping) is 2.25 g, 3.25 g and 1.7 g at the ground surface for MNA-EC8 site classes C, D and E respectively. It was also found that the results are under the provisions of seismic design code of Malaysia. The suggested results in this study can be used as a reference in Malaysia to support the MNA-EC8. |
