Abstract

In this study, we estimated predominant period of an H/V spectrum in Palu City, Indonesia, by using microtremor single station observations. Sulawesi Island, eastern Indonesia, is located at the junction between the converging Pacific-Philippine, Indo- Australian Plates and the Eurasian Plate. One of the major structures in Central Sulawesi is the Palu- Koro Fault system, which extends NNW-SSE direction and cross-cuts Sulawesi along more than 300 km from the North Sulawesi trench passing southward through Palu Bay then turn to the southeast, connecting to the Matano and Lawanopo Faults and further eastward both faults join to Tolo trench. Several earthquakes have been known along Palu-Koro Fault system such as Gimpu earthquake (1905), Kulawi earthquake (1907), Kantewu earthquake (1934), and offshore Donggala earthquake (1968) which caused tsunami that destroyed 800 houses and killed 200 people at Donggala district. Palu City, located at the northern tip of Palu depression, is a capital of the Central Sulawesi Province. It is located in the active seismic zone of the Palu-Koro fault. Spectral ratios for horizontal and vertical motion (H/V) from single-station microtremor records were used to identify the predominant periods of the ground vi- brations. Understanding the parameters of predominant period[s] and seismichazard is important for mitigation and environmental planning of the Palu region. Keywords: H/V spectrum, predominant period[s], microtremor single station observation

Abstract

Microtremor is currently considered the foremost tool in site effect studies. The ground motion is estimated with microtremor observations, meaning that subsoil mechanical properties and geometry are evaluated and from them an estimate of local amplification is computed. Here, the ground motion is studied by the site effects of seismic hazard zonation of urban areas in Yogyakarta City. The main purpose of this paper is zoning the geological engineering features and assessing seismic of the research urban area. In this regard, the microtremors are measured at 274 sites by single station sampling method and Nakamura technique. The microtremors of all over the city are processed by a model of Mitutoyo-GPL-6A3P. The amplification factor generally ranges between 0.70 and 5.56 and the natural frequency normally varies between 0.40 and 3.30 Hz. The information layers are prepared in GMT used for detecting the zonation of potential seismic hazard. The shear wave velocity is calculated in 12 existing drilling sites based on the geotechnical approach of SPT for soil condition. To study the ground motion, geological engineering condition is investigated using amplification factor, natural frequency, shear wave velocity maps which are analyzed using densely single microtremor observation and SPT from existing drilling sites. Keywords: Ground motion, amplification factors, natural frequency; H/V spectral ratio, microtremor observations, Yogyakarta Urban

Abstract

Analysis that is based on geostatistics eliminates many corresponding defects and limitations compared to classical statistics which have been developed by random distribution theory of processes and variables. Interpolation is important for local analysis by GIS, because many maps used for GIS operation are made by interpolation. In this research, two different methods which is Kriging method and Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) method was examined for developing Digital Elevation Model image. Each method’s advantages and disadvantages were considered. The study are, Kepil, is within Kulon Progo physiographic and stratigraphic area, located in the western part of Yogyakarta city. This area is located close to the Java Island Subduction Zone, hence influence of tectonic plate movement is relatively dominant. Geological structures become a main factor that shapes the recent morphology. This study area also has many settlements and has high weathering and erosion rate. Lineaments are extracted based on Digital Elevation Model to provide assistance in delineating geological structures. The structural geology analysis and an understanding of tectonic phase of the area provide useful information for geological map- ping. Accuracy of lineament depends on extraction and imagery parameters used. In this study, the extraction was conducted by two different raster methods, namely Kriging and Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) with the same resolution of 30 meters. Lineament extracted automatically (digitally) with certain parameter settings. Keywords: Kriging, inverse distance weighted, interpolation, lineament, random distribution, digital elevation model.

Abstract

The Soripesa prospect area is located at Maria village, Wawo district, Bima region in the eastern part of Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. This area is a part of Cenozoic Calc-alkaline volcanic inner Banda- Sunda Arc. There are five main polymetallic epithermal quartz veins in the Soripesa prospect area, namely, Rini vein, Jambu air vein, Dollah vein,Merpati vein, and Arif vein. The dominant lithology is a lithic-crystal tuff of andesitic and dacitic composition and bedded limestone. Major oxides and trace elements were analyzed by using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) to identify the host rock geochemistry. The main veins are hosted by andesitic and andesitic/ basaltic volcanic host rocks. Major elements compositions are affected by alteration. Based on the trace element data, host rocks of all veins were formed in the volcanic arc basalt (VAB) and island arc basalt (IAB) tectonic settings. Host rocks of Rini vein contain higher amount of precious and base metal elements (Zn, Cu, Pb, and Ag.etc.) than those of other host rocks. Keywords: Soripesa prospect area, lithology, tectonic setting, mineralization.

Abstract

The high demand of clean water supply and groundwater usages in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia has caused the lowering of groundwater table of about 3 m in average since 1984. This condition is caused by the increase number of groundwater pumping in this city relate to the rising of the urban population, economics condition, education and cultural activities, change of land use and increase number of hotels on this famous tourism city in Indonesia. Therefore, it became necessary to assess the optimum yield from the groundwater system beneath this city which can still preserve the recent level of shallow groundwater. This is important because most of the people in this city depends their daily water supply from shallow dug well. In order to assess the safe yield, a groundwater modeling is conducted. The data used on this modeling was taken from previous research and also primary data collected during this research such as; aquifer geometry, aquifer characteristics, shallow groundwater level, water usage/pumping wells discharge, river discharge and surface water level, and climate data. Prediction of the impact of groundwater pumping was made by increasing the water usage/pumping wells discharge on several scenarios. The result of this modeling shows that the optimum yield of the aquifer beneath Yogyakarta City area is about 125,000 m3/day. Keywords: Optimum yield, groundwater usage, groundwater table, pumping, urban population, shallow dug well.

Abstract

The roadway in Karangjati, Ngawi Regency, East Java, Indonesia, which is underlain by expansive soil, is susceptible to damage due to volume change. This research aims to improve the engineering properties, such as consistency limits, compressibility, and undrained shear strength of the montmorillonite dominated soil in this area using an electrokinetic stabilization method. Four electro-kinetic experiments were conducted using different electrolytes (calcium chloride or pure water) under different conditions (no-flow or flow water). The results show that, pH values of all soil samples decreased at anolyte and increased at catholyte. Atterberg limits of the soil samples were found to increase, where the liquid limit (LL) range of 79.72– 86.14%, plastic limit (PL) 25.22–30.80%, and plasticity index (PI) 53.28–60.92, liquidity Index (LI) 0.91–1.08. The compression index Cc was 0.50– 0.742. Undrained shear strength of treated soil range of 7–11 kPa. Moreover, strengthening degree of the treated soils achieve 304–556%. The soil improvement was achieved by decreasing the Atterberg limits, and compressibility and increasing the undrained shear strength. Applying calcium chloride and flow water condition were the most effective methods for the soil improvement. The mineralogical compositions of the soil samples did not change after the treatment. Keywords: Electro-kinetic stabilization, electro chemical injection, clayey soil improvement.
