摘要
The 7.4 Mw earthquake on 28th September 2018 in Palu City triggered a flow liquefaction phenomenon in the Balaroa and Petobo areas, contributing to significant casualties and building damage. This paper presents the results of a liquefaction study to map subsurface conditions in these areas using the multi-electrode resistivity method with the dipole-dipole configuration. The objective of this study is to understand factors controlling the flow liquefaction phenomenon. Based on the interpretation of 2-D resistivity images, the liquefied soil layers are characterized by lower resistivity values than the non-liquified layers. These contrasts of resistivity values form a gently sloping boundary between the liquefied and non-liquefied soil layers. The resistivity image perpendicular to the flow direction indicates the presence of a subsurface basinal morphology in the Balaroa area, suggesting that a shallow groundwater zone is present within the liquefiable soil layer. Thus, the subsurface topographical condition is the main governing factor of flow liquefaction phenomena during the 2018 Palu earthquake.
