Abstract

In the last few years there has been a growing concern among engineers and some authorities in Malaysia regarding the seismic risk to critical structures and facilities. Seismicity of Malaysia is close to the most two seismically active plate boundaries the interplate boundary between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian Plates on the west and the interplate boundary between the Eurasian and Philippines Sea Plates on the east. Tremors felt along the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia originated from large earthquakes in the active seismic areas of Sumatra and Andaman Sea. This paper reviews briefly the results from the first part of the study in which a seismic hazard assessment for Klang Valley is obtained based on deterministic method geological aspects and soil conditions. The result represent future probable acceleration values to predict the possible localized of seismic factor for the area.
