Abstract

At early in the morning of May 27, 2006, people of Yogyakarta was stroke by earthquake and mostly heavily damaged building are in lowland or Yogyakarta depression where is occupied by the Young Merapi sediments. The magnitude of earthquake is Mw = 6.2 and USGS rapid moment tensor shows that this earthquake was due to strike-slip fault movement.Seismic history of Yogyakarta area shows that Yogyakarta was stroke by several earthquakes with different epicenter location. At least two earthquakes stroke the area, that is in 1876 and 1943. The damages are similar to the damages of actual earthquake. Yogyakarta depression is mostly covered by Young Merapi sediments that consist of tuff, volcanic ash, breccias, agglomerate and lava with Quaternary in age. The thickness of this sediment is up to 100 m.Our reactive work was to establish firstly zone of damage. For this purpose, we made aerial photograph along the most damaged area. In the same time one of our teams go to the field to measure the cracks, and the other teams to observe liquefaction, hydro geologic measurement, and observation on landslide induce by earthquake. Secondly, we must understand the soil properties and its thickness, because in seismic history it was a similar damage on the same area due to earthquakes however the earthquake epicenters were different. For this purpose we utilize the method of micro-tremors. We also made some drilling until 60 m each, measuring seismic velocity on bore hole, and magneto telluric measurement. We also have helped by Kyushu University in installing micro seismic net work. The research was followed by either undergraduate and graduate students. Fortunately our research was financed by AUN/Seed Net – JICA. Some of the results were published in a book entitled The Yogyakarta Earthquake of May 27, 2006. Another outcome is the Maps of Microzonation and Earthquake Hazard of Bantul Area that dedicated to Bantul people.Based on aerial photograph observation and field observation on Bantul Regency, especially along the Opak River, and to Wonosari to the East, there was no surface ruptures, so there is no fault on surface. Interpretation of aftershock data was showing the difference cluster. There is still open problem in determining either epicenter or aftershock location. The damage building was interpreted as due to its geologic setting, non engineered building, and close to epicenter of earthquake. This heavily damaged building are located on the Young Merapi sediments at Bantul Regency and lake deposits at Gantiwarno and Bayat area where it can amplify the surface seismic wave. It implies that Peak Ground Acceleration according to Indonesian National Standard should be modified in Yogyakarta area.Keywords: Earthquake, seismic, epicenter, micro-tremor, microzonation

Abstract

Application of GPR, RedExplorer1.4 and GeoStudio2004 have been used to evaluate the overall stability condition of a steep slope along Kalibawang irrigation channel km 8.5, Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta Special Province, Indonesia, that this slope slid down in 1990 and was restabilized by cut to be gentler and covered by shotcrete. Topographic map and engineering geological map in scale 1:2000 have been established prior to the detail investigation. Three drilling logs with in-situ test, SPT and CPT, and samplings have been made and sent to soil mechanic laboratory for index properties tests, and a slope profile along the main axe will be also created for stability analysis through GeoStudio2004. Moreover, GPR has been used to run on a full slope surface to detect the distribution of fractures and/or cavities behind the shotcrete and the results have been interpreted by the aid of RedExplorer1.4.Three profiles showing the rate and depth of fractures and/or cavities are established whereas the slope stability analysis through GeoStudio2004 is the next target of the research. The author is expecting the result from the integration of GPR interpretation and GeoStudio2004 to figure out the overall stability with respect to its existing conditions and its own geometry. Keywords: GPR, GeoStudio2004, overall stability, fracture and/or cavities.

Abstract

Conglomeratic rocks in East Johor are found in the separately three formations that are the Murau, Tanjung Leman and Linggiu Formations. The Murau Formation is characterized by cobble to boulder grained breccia with very angular to angular and disorganized clasts. It was deposited by fan-delta system in the sub-aerial to shallow marine environment. The Tanjung Leman Formation consists of pebble to cobble grained conglomerate with rounded to subrounded and organized clasts. It was deposited by braided river system in the sub-aerial environment. Both formations outcropped in eastern coastal of Johor. The rudaceous rocks of the Linggiu Formation consist of pebble to cobble-sized clasts with sub angular and disorganized texture. It present as subordinate rocks within sandstone dominant in the central part of East Johor and was deposited by debris flows in the shallow marine environment. All these rudaceous rocks were interpreted as Palaeozoic in age ranging from Late Carboniferous to Late Permian. Those rudaceous rocks indicated that since Late Carboniferous, palaeogeography of East Johor was a continent with subaerial to shallow marine depositional environment. Keywords: Conglomerate, Palaeozoic, East Johor, subaerial, shallow marine.

Abstract

For the theoretical simulation or prediction of strong ground motion, it is prime importance to get information of underground structures, especially for sedimentary layers overlying on bedrock, like in Yogyakarta Basin. The Standard Penetration Test, Spectral Analysis of Surface Wave (SASW) and other geotechnical properties are used to estimate S–wave velocity structures in this basin. SPT tests were conducted at nine sites and SASW measurements were performed at seventeen sites. As a result, the S-wave velocity structures of top 30 m depth had been evaluated in each site. The average shear wave velocity v30 s had been successful estimated and the sites are classified into three types; soft soil, medium dense soil and hard soil. All sites where SPT performed are on soft soil according to their v30 s . However, according to v30 s from SASW measurements, 10 sites are located on medium dense soils type, 5 sites on dense soils and 2 sites on soft soils. The acceptable equivalent S-wave velocitystructure is observed by comparing the results from SASW and geotechnical approach in Imogiri, Bambang Lipuro, Pundong (Watu, Pranti) and Pandak (Wijirejo) areas. Keywords: Ground motion, underground structure, sedimentary layer, SPT, SASW, Pundong
