Abstract

This work presents an application of a simplified energy concept for predicting liquefaction potential based on data collected during the M_w 8.6 Bengkulu-Mentawai Earthquake in Bengkulu, City, Indonesia. A total of 38 sites are investigated through seismic data and soil characteristics. One dimensional seismic response analysis is then conducted to determine the peak ground acceleration within each soil layer of the study area. From the peak ground acceleration values, kinetic velocity values are generated. The maximum kinetic energy density due to earthquake shaking is determined using the simplified energy concept. The Empirical analysis is employed to predict liquefaction potential. The empirical analysis results are then correlated to kinetic energy density to generate equations that estimate liquefaction potential in Bengkulu City. Results show that a simplified energy concept can be used to estimate liquefaction potential. The performance of the proposed equations is generally consistent with documented liquefaction cases from around the world, and thus the framework implemented in this study can be adopted to calculate liquefaction potentials in other areas worldwide.
