Abstract
Several destructive earthquake events with large magnitude struck Central Sulawesi, Indonesia include on August 23, 1982 (5.4 Mw), October 25, 1983 (5.8 Mw), October 31, 1983 (6.0 Mw), July 22 1996 (7.0 Mw), September 28, 1997 (5.9 Mw), October 10, 1998 (6.1 Mw), May 4, 2000 (6.5 Mw), May 8, 2010 (5.8 Mw), February 15, 2011 (6.1 Mw), May 29, 2017 (6.6Mw) and September 28, 2018 (5.9Mw; 7.4Mw). Especially in the last incident, there was an interesting phenomenon, the occurrence of tsunamis with the cause of the mechanism of strike-slip and liquefaction with a deformation reaching several hundred meters. With the effects of the earthquake, this paper aims to review the earthquake side, especially the acceleration study in bedrock using the modified USGS PSHA software in attenuation (GMPE) and OpenQuake for 2475 years return period (2% probability exceeded in 50 years). The earthquake data used was the 1900-2016 earthquake catalog adopted by the Indonesian National Earthquake Study Center. The results obtained are earthquake acceleration using modified USGS PSHA generate greater value mainly in areas close to Batui Fault. In the combination analysis conducted at the end of this study, the acceleration range values are the same as the 2017 Indonesia Earthquake Map. Still, they have different zonation patterns in the central part of Central Sulawesi Province, where there is an enlarged zone of 0.6-0.7g.
