Abstract

Pembentukan daratan pesisir sangat dipengaruhi oleh proses sedimentasi dari material hasil rombakan. Proses sedimentasi pada masa lampau dapat dikaji dengan mempelajari sungai purba sebagai media transportasi material. Survey geofisika metode electrical resistivty tomography dilakukan untuk investigasi sungai purba di Ulee Kareng Banda Aceh. Untuk memetakan sedimen dan geometri sungai purba, pengukuran electrical resistivity dilakukan di sepanjang dua lintasan dengan panjang 240 meter dan spasi elektroda 2 meter. Proses inversi model resistivitas 2D telah dilakukan pada masing – masing lintasan data yang terukur. Hasil electrical resistivity tomography mampu membedakan batas – batas antara setiap lapisan sedimen yang terendapkan di lokasi paleochannel. Sedimen paleochannel secara jelas diidentifikasi dari distribusi nilai resistivitas yang lebih tinggi (15.2–31.6 Ω.m). Berdasarkan interpretasi dari metode electrical resistivity tomography area persawahan merupakan lokasi sungai purba pada masa lampau. The formation of coastal area is influenced by sedimentation process. The sedimentation process along the coastal line in the past one can be explained by studying existence of paleochannels located around the area. Deposition of the sediment along the coast is carried by river activities in the past. We have investigated paleochannel structure in Ulee Kareng, Banda Aceh using electrical resistivity tomography survey. The measurements were performed along two profiles with 240 meters and 2 meters spacing between electrodes crossing the paddy. The method measured apparent resistivity data along the profiles. The 2D resistivity models were inverted from the apparent resistivity data using Res2Div program. The inverted models clearly show indication of paleochannel structure based on distribution of resistivity values within the subsurface. The paleochannel area was characterize by high resistivity i.e. 15.2–31.6 Ω.m.

Abstract

Aceh is a region of tectonic activity, characterized by high seismicity. This inherent seismic hazard endangers the stability of vertical structures, such as mosque towers. The objective of this study is to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the Main Tower of the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque by estimating its natural frequencies and damping ratios. These parameters are used to evaluate the structural vulnerability of the mosque. The study obtained data from multilevel microtremor measurements on each floor of the tower. These measurements were analyzed using two methods. The Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) method identified the dominant frequency in the basement. The Random Decrement Method (RDM) determined the natural frequency and damping ratios at each level of the structure. The results indicate that the natural frequency of the tower ranges from 1.16 to 4.32 Hz, with a damping ratio of 0.91% to 22.97%, which is within the established range for reinforced concrete structures. The substandard value can cause the building to oscillate easily when earthquake shocks occur. The analysis identified the upper floors, specifically 3 and 4, to be the primary sites of resonance, with ratios reaching 11-12%. The significant negative correlation between height and natural frequency indicates that the upper part of the structure is more prone to low-frequency earthquakes. The implications of this study are significant in light of their potential to enhance the understanding of the structural resonance risks and provide a technical basis for planning mosque towers in earthquake-prone areas.
