How Aseismic Design Will Shape Future High-Rises

Ir Dr Leo K K LEUNG will share his expertise in Earthquake Engineering, covering both the fundamentals and the theories that drive it, and will apply his critical insight to explain why a newly built tower in Bangkok, located nearly 1000km away from a recent earthquake’s epicenter, collapsed. Common sense suggests that while a 7.7 to 7.9 magnitude earthquake is significant, the seismic energy and waves traveling over 1000km would lead to much lower ground movement and energy at the location of the collapsed building. Yet, this newly constructed tower suffered a total catastrophic collapse. Let’s explore together and uncover the true causes behind this unexpected disaster.

The speaker can share with us his precious insight in Earthquake Engineering in this seminar with CABE Hong Kong Chapter. His discernment and perspective views on this matter will be insightful to us all.
