Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim to test whether the results of the inversion of the HVSR curve can be used as complementary data for N-SPT values in classifying areas according to site classification. The inversion result in the form of shear wave velocity (VS) is then compared directly with the N-SPT data in several boreholes. Ellipticity curve method is used for inversion. The data generated in this study are dominant frequency, Amplitude Peak, and H/V curve as a result of the HVSR analysis performed on microtremor data. Furthermore, an inversion was carried out on the H/V curve by taking into account secondary data in the form of borehole, shear wave velocity, density and poisson ratio for each type of lithology. The dominant frequency value obtained has a value range of 0.33 to 17.15 Hz. The Amplitude Peak obtained in the study area has a value range of 1.81 - 11.4. The inversion (VS) value has a range of 110.5 m/s - 400 m/s, so it is included in the classification of Soft Soil, Medium Soil, and Hard Soil and Soft Rock. The correlation of and N-SPT show that inversion method with HVSR analysis of microtremor data is quite reliable as supporting data for N-SPT. Considering cons of drilling, the method used in this study can be a new alternative for use in construction projects because it can be carried out at a relatively low cost, and is quite simple in terms of data acquisition and processing.
