Fundamental Source‐to‐Site‐to‐Structure Study of Seismic Impacts and Hazards for part of South‐East Asia covering Sumatra, Java and the Malay Peninsula

This is a continuation of an ongoing project to develop large scale 3‐D computational models which can perform `source‐to‐site‐to‐structure' simulations, starting with the rupture on an earthquake fault,

followed by the propagation of the resulting seismic waves from the fault to engineered structures of interest.

The study encompasses the development of a regional seismo‐tectonic model and the computational resources to perform large‐scale wave propagation analyses. The results will provide fundamental insights into the expected ground motions arising from different scenario earthquakes. They will also be useful for assessing the effects and hazards to buildings and infrastructure in Singapore and regional urban cities.
