Seismic setting
Located within stable Sunda plate, sandwiched between Java trench to W and S Philippine plate and trench to E.
No large historic quakes in Singapore, 5 quakes with M>5 in Sunda plate between 1964-2000
Largest seismic threat - Java trench and Sumatra fault 300-400 km to the SW, last quake on section directly adjacent in 1861 (M8.5)

Singapore earthquake risk
A large event (M>7.8) on Sumatran subduction zone or a M7.5+ eq on Sumatra Fault at distance of ~300 km could generate destructive ground motions in Singapore
Current building design codes based on BS8110 code—no provision for seismic loading
High rise structures most at risk from long period ground motion due to large distant quakes

Earthquake Risk – Other Hazards
Triggered fires – Fire following earthquake,
– 1906 San Francisco “Firestorm”, densely packed woodframe buildings, failure of water system due to liquefaction
Liquefaction – water-saturated sandy soils, particularly land fill, ground turns to “quicksand”
– ports, coastal roadways, airports
Landslides – strong shaking trigger for near unstable slopes
Tsunamis hazard
