Course Outline - School of Civil Engineering USM

Objective
Who Should Attend
Recent earthquake events in Sumatra
have posed threat to infrastructure in
South East Asia including Malaysia. This
course provides an opportunity for the
building industry to understand the
effects
of
earthquake
and
gain
knowledge on how to consider them in
structural design.
This course will be useful to:
9 Engineers and Technical Officers from
Government Agencies & Local Authorities
9 Architects
9 Managers & Consultant
9 Contractors and Property Developers
9 Academicians
who are involved in the design, construction and
development of building structures
