Analysis of Ground Shear Strain (GSS) In Mapping, Liquefaction Vulnerability Potential Using HVSR (Horizontal To Vertical Spectral Ratio) Method. Case Study: Sepaku Subdistrict, North Penajam Paser Regency, East Kalimantan

Abstract

East Kalimantan has been designated as the new Capital Province of Indonesia. The criteria for determining the relocation of the nation's capital have passed various studies in the placement of a new state capital, one of which is by reviewing disaster aspects such as the risk of earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. Based on historical records of earthquakes that have occurred, East Kalimantan is not a completely safe area from potential earthquakes or tsunamis. By using the HVSR method, the authors tried to determine the value of Ground Shear Strain (GSS) in the research area, namely Sepaku District, Penajam Paser Utara Regency. The result show that there were three zones namely Zona A, Zone B and Zone C had GSS values in Sepaku Subdistrict with landslides, soil compaction and liquefaction potential, namely 0.4 - 0.54. The result of HVSR interpretation curve are based on the phenomenon of the resulting ground shear strain value in accordance with the geological conditions in the research area of the Sepaku Subdistrict, Penajam Paser Utara Regency, East Kalimantan in characterizing the soil profile in the study area.
