Abstract


In general, liquefaction occurs in areas with high seismic activity and saturated, loose, sandy soil. The Soekarno-Hatta International Airport is situated in an area with a medium to high potential for earthquake occurrence. This paper aims to predict the liquefaction potential around the third runway of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. The liquefaction potential analysis was conducted using the Idriss-Boulanger method, calculating the liquefaction safety factor to a depth of 20 m. There are 54 locations for which N-SPT bore log data and soil laboratory tests were used in this analysis. The variation of Peak Ground Acceleration used in the analysis was obtained from the earthquake risk map of Indonesia. Furthermore, the liquefaction potential zone was mapped using QGIS, considering the Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI), Liquefaction Severity Index (LSI), and Liquefaction Severity Number (LSN). The results show that there is no significant difference between LSI and LSN, and a slight difference in favor of LPI. Several locations have the potential to experience liquefaction, especially in the central, northeastern, and slightly southwestern parts of the runway construction area.
