Post-Earthquake Liquefaction Vulnerability Mapping by Swedish Weight Sounding and Standard Penetration Test

. Irdhiani, Ahmad Rifa’i, Teuku Faisal Fathani, Agus Darmawan Adi

Abstract


On September 28, 2018, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck Palu City, Sigi Regency, and Donggala Regency in Central Sulawesi. It triggered liquefaction in different locations, including Balaroa, Petobo, Jono Oge, and Sibalaya; Typically, a significant number of studies conducted in the Balaroa region relied on a small amount of field test data to cover a rather large area. This research aims to map the liquefaction vulnerability by analyzing the data from both the Swedish Weight Sounding (SWS) and the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) in the Balaroa area. The SWS data was acquired through mapping using a systematic grid sampling method at ten different locations. The liquefaction potential was analyzed based on the N values by converting the SWS data (Nsw and Wsw) to Nvalues using the Inada equation (1960). Afterward, the analysis findings were verified by comparing them with the SPT data obtained from the same area. Based on the SWS and SPT data analysis results, all locations, including the adjacent areas, exhibited very high liquefaction vulnerability. In contrast, the SPT data indicated that the areas further from the spots exhibited low and very low liquefaction. The findings indicated that the occurrence of post-earthquake liquefaction in Balaroa and other regions within Palu City is prone to recurrence following earthquakes of specific magnitudes.
