Abstract

The Yogyakarta Basin can be defined as NE – SW elongated depression zone of 20 km in width and 45 km in length, trending from Yogyakarta City in north to the Indian Ocean in south. The local geologic and soil conditions have a great influence on the intensity of ground motion and earthquake damage. Local site effects play an important role in earthquake-resistant design and must be accounted for on a case by case basis. Local site conditions can profoundly influence all of the important characteristics such as amplitude (peak acceleration, velocity and displacement), frequency content and duration of strong ground motion. The extent of their influence depends on the geometry and material properties of subsurface materials. Therefore, subsurface investigation was carried out through nine boreholes throughout the basin. Based on drill-logs, collected samples and laboratory test results, the subsurface soil profiles of nine areas in the basin are simplified for future strong ground motion simulation. Five subsurface layers in Tampuran, Krajan areas and six subsurface soil layers in Watu, Jl. Parangtritis, Wijirejo areas and seven layers in Jl. Parangtritis, Karang Semut, Bambang Lipuro areas and eight layers in Pranti area, have been simplified and the geotechnical properties of each layer have been evaluated as well. Keywords: Basin, Yogyakarta, depression, ground motion, earthquake.

Abstract

Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CSS) is alternative of reducing atmospheric emissions of CO2. The concepts of CO2 storage refer to the injection of carbon dioxide in dense form into aquifers, which basically must meet several conditions. Three types of geological formations that can be used for the geological storage of CO2 are oil and gas reservoirs, deep saline formations and unmineable coal beds. Indonesia has 60 Tertiary basins, however that great precautions must be taken for selecting particular sedimentary basin in Indonesia for carbon dioxide storage because of high possibility of leakage and the need to find deep formations as CO2 host since the geothermal gradient is high. One possibility to find proper basins is by selected “mature” basin as the detailed geological conditions are well known. Candidates are are North East Java or South Sumatra Basins. Keywords: Carbon dioxide capture, storage, emission, basin.

Abstract

Geological sequestration of CO2 inside deep geologic formations is revolutionary among several other initiatives to combat the global warming. This method is already approved globally as a reliable and likely to be the only option that will allow removing CO2 in large enough quantities over short enough times to make a real difference. The first step of any geological CO2 storage projects is to select appropriate sedimentary basins in which CO2 will be injected and stored temporarily or permanently within permeable geological layers. The criteria for site selection methods are here explained based on summary from stateof-the-art research findings now exist. This method is planned to be applied for a more detailed mapping of potential sedimentary basins in Indonesia and neighboring regions. Keywords: Sequestration, sedimentary basin, geological layers.

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

Abstract

Groundwater quality in Yogyakarta city has become the major concern due to the presence of heavy metals originated from batik home industries, slaughterhouses, and leather factories, especially in shallow groundwater. In response to the above problems, the naturally abundant zeolite and bentonite in Sidomulyo and Bandung areas were respectively sampled along with the metal-containing groundwater in Yogyakarta urban area for batch adsorption experiment. Before put into experiment, the zeolite and bentonite were characteristically investigated by means of XRD, SEM, chemical composition, and physical property analyses. Also, they were thermally activated to improve their qualities in terms of increase in CEC, whereas the groundwater was analyzed for heavy metal concentrations (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Zn) and its physical property. Five logarithmic amounts of this modified zeolite or bentonite were separately and incrementally introduced into the same three solutions of heavy metals. After the experiment, all the solutions were re-analyzed for the rest of heavy metals to figure out the optimum adsorption capacity of zeolite and bentonite. The outcomes of this experiment will be beneficial in enhancing the groundwater quality for consumptions in Yogyakarta city as well as other places in Indonesia, and will also imply the zeolite and bentonite in commercialization. Keywords: zeolite, bentonite, groundwater, heavy metal, adsorption

Abstract

In the last two decades, urbanization has transformed Yogyakarta City expanding beyond its administrative area with about one million inhabitants. The City sited on shallow unconfined aquifer has rapidly changed without appropriate access to sanitation and piped water supply. Until now, only 9% of the urban population is served by sewers system and less than 30% of urban population have access to clean water which supplied by the local public water-work. Most of the urban population depend on shallow groundwater for much of their water supply. Regards to the massive used of on-site sanitation systems in the city, contamination of nitrate in shallow groundwater is predicted to occur and surveys of domestic dug wells have revealed a widespread nitrate contamination of the groundwater. Comparison of groundwater nitrate and chloride concentration from several old data and the latest data shows clearly an evidence of the increasing of nitrate concentration and nitrate leaching in the shallow groundwater under Yogyakarta City overtime. Considering the trend, it is no doubt that most of nitrate concentration under urbanized area in the Yogyakarta City will be greater than 50 mg/L in the next several years, if appropriate management action to deal with the on-site sanitation system is not conducted.

Abstract

Maximum magnitudes of earthquake potentials are estimated for Yogyakarta depression area by using the faultlength and earthquake magnitude relations for fault specific seismic sources. For estimation of maximum earthquake magnitude, the fault specific seismic sources are modeled as 18 normal faults and 6 strike-slip faults sources referring the geological map of McDonald, 1984 and Rihardjo et al., 1995. For the present area the subduction zone earthquakes are expected to happen in the offshore region regarding the study on the seismicity of the region and the focal mechanisms of the past earthquakes. So three area sources are also assumed for this region and the possible maximum earthquake magnitudes for these sources are determined by probabilistic approaches.

Abstract

July 17, 2006 tsunami which occurred in Indian Ocean had swept most of the south coast of Java, especially at Pangandaran area, West Java. The tsunami wave transported and deposited sediment known as tsunamiite, with various compositions. Three different textural characteristics have been recognized on the tsunami sediment deposit. First type is on the tsunamiite found at West Pangandaran Beach, which is darker than the older beach sediment and separated by erosional surface. The sedimentary structures are parallel lamination and current ripple. The grains have no fining trend in vertical as well as lateral direction. Whereas the second type is found at East Pangandaran Beach, which is brighter than the older beach sediment and also separated by erosional surface. The sedimentary structures are cross lamination on the lower layer, parallel lamination on the middle layer and massif on the upper layer. The grains have no fining trend in vertical and lateral direction Benthic foraminifera is one of organism which is transported and deposited as tsunami deposit on the coast. Ammonia beccarii, Elphidium advenum, Amphistegina lessonii, Cibicides sp., Biginerina irregularis, Bolivina plicata, Bathysiphon sp., Nodosaria andQuinqueloculina were found in the recent tsunami deposit from Pangandaran. Based on the benthic foraminifera contents, it can be inferred that the sediments came from lagoonal until deep sea (abyssal) environment.
