Abstract

The vulnerability of land in an area to earthquake ground motions is one of the factors causing damage caused by the earthquakes. The city of Surabaya, which is crossed by two active fault segments, needs an assessment to reduce the risk of being affected by an earthquake that might occur. The aims of this study are (1) to find out the distribution of Seismic Site Classes, (20 to know the distribution of the value of Seismic Amplification, and (3) to know the potential of liquefaction in the city of Surabaya. Surabaya city, which is geologically dominated by alluvium deposits, consists of soft soil (SE) and medium (SD) sites based on N-SPT30 and Vs30 data. The level of soil amplification against earthquakes ranging from 1 to 4. This occurs because the physical properties of the Surabaya City soil layer are dominated by alluvium deposits. Regions with more than 2 amplification values are located around the coastline on the North and East coasts of Surabaya City. Based on the potential liquefaction index value, Surabaya City is included in the region with a high potential for liquefaction with a potential liquefaction index value of more than 5.
