Kertas ini mengemukakan kajian awal terhadap penghitungan bencana gempa bumi bagi Semenanjung Malaysia yang mana melibatkan pembinaan peta pengezonan makro bagi dua tahap bencana, iaitu 10% dan 20% kebarangkalian terlampaunya dalam tempoh 50 tahun di batuan dasar bagi Semenanjung Malaysia. Analisis ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan kaedah statistik bagi nilai yang melampaui daripada Gumbel. Analisis ini juga meliputi pemprosesan data gempa bumi (seperti pemilihan magnitud yang konsisten untuk digunakan di dalam analisis dan mengenalpasti peristiwa–peristiwa kejutan utama) dan pemilihan fungsi atenuasi yang sesuai. Analisis menunjukkan bahawa puncak pecutan bumi (PGA) sepanjang Semenanjung Malaysia berkadar di antara 10 gal dan 25 gal bagi kebarangkalian dilampauinya 10%, dan di antara 15 gal dan 35 gal bagi kebarangkalian dilampauinya 2% dalam tahap bencana 50 tahun. Keputusan ini adalah lebih rendah sebanyak 50% hingga 65% berbanding analisis kebolehtentuan. Kata kunci: Penghitungan bencana gempa, pengezonan makro, hubungan atenuasi, kaedah Gumbel This paper presents the preliminary study on seismic hazard assessment which involved developing macrozonation map for two hazard levels, i.e. 10% and 2% probabilities of exceedance in 50 years for bedrock of Peninsular Malaysia. The analysis was performed using statistic theory of extreme values from Gumbel. The analysis covered the earthquake data processing (such as choosing a consistent magnitude to be used in the analysis and identifying main shock events), and selection of appropriate attenuation relationship. Results showed that, the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) across the Peninsular Malaysia range between 10 and 25 gal for 10% probability of exceedance, and between 15 and 35 gal for 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years hazard levels. These values were lower by about 50 to 65% than those obtained from deterministic analysis. Key words: Seismic hazard assessment, macrozonation map, attenuation relationship, Gumbel’s MethodDownloads
