Study of Liquefaction Potential at Sabo dam Construction on Poi and Bangga River, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi

Abstract

The Palukoro fault, an active sinistral fault that cuts through Sulawesi Island, was the cause of the earthquake and liquefaction disaster in Palu and Sigi Regency in 2018. A series of studies related to liquefaction have been carried out since then but more focused on the west side of the Palu River. This research will raise the potential for liquefaction on the eastern side of the Palu river, precisely in the sabo dam area at Poi and Bangga River. These rivers are located on the opposite side of the Sibalaya liquefaction area. Liquefaction potential was calculated using the Simplified Procedure Method based on NSPT values. Fifteen and twelve boreholes are located at Bangga and Poi rivers, respectively. The qualitative analysis assessed the criteria of vulnerability based on geological factors, groundwater levels, and seismicity. The Liquefaction Potential Index method was used and calculated using several earthquake scenarios based on historical data and potential earthquakes of The Palu-koro fault. Based on LPI analysis, the Poi River has meager potential at the middle stream area and moderate level potential at the downstream. Bangga River has moderate to high liquefaction potential downstream and low to very low potential at the middle stream.

Stability Analysis of Toll Road Embankment Induced by Liquefaction In Klaten Regency Based On FEM Numerical Simulation

“…PGA Max is the PGA of bedrock with the most significant risks (combination of the PSHA and DSHA methods). Like previous studies, the bigger the earthquake, the greater the potential for liquefaction [11]. The worth of modified PGA at site (PGAM) is 0.3733g.…”

“…Liquefaction susceptibility depends on soil density, groundwater level, and distribution of soil particles [10]. The more significant earthquake, the greater the liquefaction potential that can happen [11].…”

Liquefaction potential analysis based on standard penetration test in coastal area (Case study: Loh Buaya, Rinca Island, Indonesia)

“…This liquefaction potential analysis used the simplified procedure by Idriss-Boulanger [23] according to 8 SPT boreholes. It procedure has also been applied in Jono Oge-Paneki River [24], Gumbasa Irrigation Area [25] dan Bangga River [26] for liquefaction potential. The second is to determine the Liquefaction Severity Index (LSI).…”

Effects of Soil Liquefaction to Foundation Bearing Capacity Based on Empirical and Numerical Simulation

“…Based on previous study, research area has liquefaction potential at several points, where the area generally has shallow ground water levels, has soil layer of sand, and located close to the source of a strong earthquake. In the case of the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake, the closer the building was to the epicenter of the earthquake, the greater the damage experienced [9] [10]. In the planning report, several typical designs have been carried out that will be used on the elevated road structure at the research location.…”
