SVIM: A Program for Seismic Vulnerability Index Determination and HVSR Data Processing
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science(2019)
Abstract
The seismic vulnerability of an area is important to be determined in order to reduce the risk of earthquake disaster. Ones need to calculate the values of dominant frequency and amplification from the Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR). Currently existing software for HVSR data processing, Geopsy, does not include seismic vulnerability index calculation. Using Geopsy, ones also need additional software for mapping purposes. From that problem, we introduce a Graphical User Interface (GUI) program for seismic vulnerability index determination and Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) data processing and plotting the results into a map of the study area. The program is called SVIM (Seismic Vulnerability Index of Microtremor). The program has been built using Matlab and successfully tested to 21 microtremor data points acquired in Lamteuba, Aceh Besar, Aceh, Indonesia. We compared our results with those resulted from the calculation by using Geopsy and validated using coefficient correlation. The validation shown that the correlation coefficient of seismic vulnerability index was 96,40%, the correlation coefficient of frequency was 84,19%, and the correlation coefficient of amplification was 95,80%. We conclude the SVIM program can be used for seismic vulnerability index determination and HVSR data processing. The mapping part will be included in the SVIM software so that the users can easily obtain the necessary map.
