Description
Summary:Semarang, Central Java has seismic hazard potentials because of the existence of active faults such as semarang fault, ungaran 1 fault, and ungaran 2 fault. Based on geological conditions, this region consists of alluvium sediment, sedimentary rocks, and volcano deposits which could cause amplification when earthquakes occur. Dominant period, depth of sediment and engineering bedrock, and also surface PGA estimation is a mitigation effort to understand seismic hazard which was done in this research. The data used in this research is microtremor data that has been acquired by Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG). The writer's applied HVSR method using HVSRPY software to get the dominant period that is reciprocal of dominant frequency. The dominant period in Semarang city is obtained in the range 0.12-2.0s. Depth of sediment profile and engineering bedrock is obtained from H/V curve inversion that has been done in DINVER software. Depth of sediment with Vs value 500 m/s is obtained in the range 50-300 m. Depth of engineering bedrock with Vs value 750 m/s is obtained in the range 50-450 m. Surface PGA is obtained from calculation between bedrock PGA with site coefficient based on Vs30 classification. Surface PGA in Semarang city is obtained in the range 0,3-0,8 g. The scatter of dominant period and depth of engineering bedrock has the same pattern in the north and east that has greater value than in the south and west area in Semarang city. Pattern of surface PGA in Semarang city has greatest value in the south then gradually decreases to the north. So based on surface PGA, the south area of Semarang city relatively has greater seismic hazard than in the north. Nevertheless, the north and east area of Semarang city has a great dominant period and engineering bedrock has relatively high amplification potential in Semarang city
