Determination of earthquake prone zones at university of tadulako based on dominant periods and peak ground acceleration (PGA)

University of Tadulako is the largest State University in Palu City. When an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 Mw on September 28, 2018, occurred, many buildings were damaged and even collapsed at that time, even causing casualties due to the rubble. Research on the Local Site Effect is essential for the assessment of seismic hazard. In this study, the local site effect was analyzed using the HVSR method based on microtremor data. The predominant Period (To) ranges between 1.709 s to 3.816 s, indicates that this area consists of alluvium and has a very thick sediment layer. Another parameter calculated in this paper is the peak ground acceleration (PGA) with values from 0.914 g to 0.924 g. This value is the first indicated soil damage level due to ground motions. The results of this study can be used as a consideration in the development of regional spatial planning and building structures based on earthquake analysis.

LOCAL GEOLOGY AND SITE CLASS ASSESSMENT BASED ON MICROTREMOR DATA IN NORTH LOMBOK

Lombok Island is an active seismic area in Indonesia potentially hit by an earthquake due to located between two earthquake generators from the south and the North. Several large earthquakes rocked Lombok, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4 on July 29, 2018, and 7.0 on August 5, 2018. This study aims to determine the characteristics of the local site effect based on the dominant frequency value ( ), soil amplification ( ), sediment layer thickness (d), , dominant period (T0), and seismic vulnerability index ( ) and to comprehend the soil class (site class) based on the thickness of the sediment layer (d), and in the North Lombok region. The data used is secondary data from microtremor signal recordings in North Lombok Regency in 2018. Data processing used Geopsy software, and microtremor data were analyzed using the HVSR method. From processing the HVSR data, the dominant frequency value about (0.8 - 18) Hz, amplification value (1.7 – 9.7), dominant period value (0.05 – 1.2) seconds, seismic vulnerability index value (0.4 – 71) , and the value of in the study area (20.05 – 287.04) m/s. Based on microtremor analysis, the local site effect indicates that alluvium rocks caused stronger earthquake vibrations and more damage. Whereas the Kalibabak and Lekopiko formations caused fewer earthquake vibrations and less wear. Based on the dominant period and , area study classify as Site Class IV class E and Site Class III class D Copyright © 2021 IPR. All rights reserved.

ANALYSIS OF LOCAL SITE EFFECTS ON SEISMIC RESPONSE OF FRAME STRUCTURES SUPPORTED BY FOUNDATIONS AT DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS

Frame structures supported by foundations with different elevations (such as a structure on the slope) undergo different ground motions because of the local site effect. Seismic response of the structure under non-uniform excitation of ground motion is different from that under uniform excitation on upper embedding end or lower embedding end. Sites with the same height difference and different soil conditions were set up in this paper to subject them to ground motions related to different positions and the seismic response of structures built on the sites under uniform and non-uniform strong seismic excitation were compared. The results show that the predominant period and amplitude of ground motions on upper embedding end and lower embedding end are different and affected by soil conditions. The extent and law of amplification of shear force, displacement and storey drift of structures under non-uniform excitation differ from those under uniform excitation when soil changes from soft to medium-hard soil. In addition, the position and degree of plastic hinges change under non-uniform excitation compared to uniform excitation. The uniform excitation using the ground motion on the upper embedding end is not always safe for the frame structure supported by foundations at different elevations.

Intepretasi Lapisan Sedimen berdasarkan Ground Profile Vs dengan Pengukuran Mikrotremor di Kecamatan Pacitan

<p>Ketebalan lapisan sedimen pada suatu wilayah dapat menyebabkan local site effect ketika terjadi gempabumi. Hal ini dikarenakan ketebalan lapisan sedimen berpengaruh terhadap amplifikasi. Kota Pacitan berdasarkan formasi geologi berada pada Formasi Aluvium (<em>Qa</em>) yang didominiasi lapisan sedimen. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengintepretasi ketebalan lapisa sedimen di Kecamatan Pacitan berdasarkan model ground profile <em>Vs </em>hasil akuisisi mikrotremor. Akuisisi dilakukan pada 25 titik di Kecamatan Pacitan menggunakan <em>seimograph portable </em>TDS. Ground profile <em>Vs</em> hasil pemodelan <em>elipticity curve</em> menunjukkan bahwa nilai <em>Vs</em> bervariasi dari 153.11 m/s (Formasi Aluvium) sampai 1393.48 m/s (Formasi Batuan Terobosan Andesit). Model ground profile <em>Vs</em> lapisan kedua yang berkorelasi dengan lapisan sedimen berada pada nilai <em>Vs</em>&lt; 750 m/s dengan area di Dataran Aluvial Sungai Grindulu dan Teluk Pacitan. Ketebalan lapisan sedimen hasil analisa ground profile <em>Vs</em>, bervariasi dari 2.59 – 94.37 m. Lapisan sedimen paling tebal terdapat pada Formasi Aluvium (<em>Qa</em>) dengan ketebalan 94.37 m, dan lapisan sedimen paling tipis terdapat pada Formasi Jaten (Tmj) setebal 2.59 m. Lapisan sedimen dengan ketebalan lebih dari 50 m berada di kawasan Kota Pacitan, Teluk Pacitan dan Sungai Grindulu.</p>
