Seismic behaviour of low-ductile moment resistance frame under far field earthquake excitations considering soft-storey phenomenon

Most of current Malaysian’s structures have not been designed for designs did not consider seismic excitation effect. Since Malaysia’s geography is far from earthquake prone region, the tremors, mostly non-lethal can be felt. The effects of seismic excitation on the stability and fragility of the bu...
