To date, frequent seismic events are seen to cause major destruction to the countries that are hit by great Earthquake with magnitude greater than 7 Scale Richter. These kinds of disasters are unpredicted and may give negative impacts for structures and human. However, the consequences of seismic can be mitigated by characterizing the hazard that m...
Conference Paper
The Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste flake was used in concrete with partial replacement of 15%, 25% and 35% by volume of conventional fine aggregate. Four batches of concrete specimens including one without plastic aggregate, for comparison purpose, were prepared. All the concrete specimens were tested for its different mechanical properties...
Conference Paper
Tunnel form building is frequently utilised by contractors and developers in constructing high rise building due to its rapid construction process and cost-effective method. However, the capability to cater earthquake load is still questionable. In Malaysia, most of the existing buildings were constructed using BS8110 without any provision to earth...
