Topic
This upcoming knowledge-sharing session offers a critical opportunity for professionals to enhance their practical understanding of seismic design, specifically tailored to the Malaysian context. As Malaysia continues to experience a growing awareness of earthquake risks, the implementation of Eurocode 8 (MS EN 1998) in structural design has become an increasingly vital component in ensuring the safety and resilience of buildings across the nation. This event aims to equip engineers with the necessary insights to navigate the evolving landscape of seismic considerations in construction.
Attendees will benefit from the valuable insights shared by a distinguished speaker, whose professional experience in government building design provides a unique perspective on the practical application of seismic principles. The session will delve into key aspects such as current seismic requirements, prevailing industry practices in Malaysia, and the latest research influencing earthquake-resistant design. This comprehensive approach will ensure that participants gain a holistic understanding of the challenges and solutions within the field.
Ultimately, this session seeks to foster greater awareness and spark meaningful discussions among engineers about the paramount importance of integrating robust seismic considerations into every stage of structural design. By promoting a deeper understanding and encouraging collaborative dialogue, the event aims to contribute significantly to the development of safer, more resilient infrastructure in Malaysia, capable of withstanding potential seismic events.
