Abstract
A big earthquake may induce flow liquefaction phenomena in lowland areas made up of sedimentary deposits. To understand the factors controlling such a hazard, it is necessary to have knowledge of the sub-surface geological conditions of the liquified area. This paper presents the results of a series of seismic refraction measurements in Lolu Village where flow liquefaction occurred during the 2018 Palu-Donggala earthquake. The results of seismic refraction tomography indicate the presence of horst-graben structures, probably associated with the localized pull-apart basin. The results of this study suggest that the sub-surface geological structure is also a governing factor for the occurrence of flow liquefaction phenomena in an area with a complex fault system.
