Seismic detailing, a compromised principal for seismic design in Malaysia

The main aim of seismic design is to estimate seismic induced actions on structural components and ensure that the seismic resistance systems can cater such actions safely. This has been achieved through either force based concept, practiced in conventional building codes, or performance based seism...
