Dynamic Characteristics And Seismic Performance Of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Experiencing 5 June 2015 And 8 March 2018 Sabah Earthquakes

Staff quarters of S.M.K. Ranau and officer quarters of Hospital Ranau that were damaged during a Sabah earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 on 5 June 2015 were repaired in 2016. However, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.2 struck Ranau, Sabah again on 8 March 2018, thus it is unknown for the present...
