Response to vibration of a single pile embedded in remoulded Prai marine alluvial soil / Tuan Juliana Tuan Sulong

Peninsular Malaysia is located on the stable Sunda Shelf \vith low to moderate level of seismic activity. Even though the peninsular has not been seriously affected by any earthquake, some Northern areas were quite badly engulfed by the Tsunami of 2004. Frequent earthquakes in the region have als...
