Abstract
Have performed experiments using HVSR method utilizing smartphone sensors to determine the natural
frequencies and amplification in determining the vulnerability index of an area around Hasanuddin University
Campus. HVSR method is very useful in conducting microzonation building damage due to earthquakes and other
shock factors by processing recorded data using Geopsy software by generating curve H / V. From the experimental
results found land value natural frequency (fo) that is 0.905 Hz, amplification (Am) 0.946, and soil vulnerability
index (Kg) 0.988 so it can be concluded trial areas classified as areas that do not damage the buildings due to
earthquakes or other shocks because it has the maximum value of amplification is less than one that associate with
low soil vulnerability values.
Keywords: HVSR method, dominant frequency, amplification, soil Vulnerability.
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Physicsal Parameter
Land is defined as a material consisting of
aggregate (granular) solid minerals that are
chemically bound to each other with the empty
spaces between the grains are filled by liquids
and gases. Land has some characteristics that are
divided into three groups including the physical
properties, chemical properties and biological
properties. The physical properties of the soil is
often associated with the mechanical properties
of the soil, especially soil vulnerability index
somewhere. Daryono et al. [1] states that an area
that has a low natural frequency characteristics,
are particularly vulnerable to the dangers of an
earthquake wave vibration long period. It can
threaten damage to existing buildings on it.
Superficial soft soils may cause amplification
at a site. Modifications of incoming earthquake
wave characteristics result when these pass
through soil deposits. Site effects are therefore
dependent on the medium itself and on the
stratum boundary depths. As well as strata
properties, amplification may also result from

B. Microtremor
Microtremor actually based on ambient niose
recording to determine characteristic of dinamic
value (dumping frequency and natural
frequency). Mikrotremor surveys required to
obtain a recording of ambient ground vibrations.
The ratio of horizontal to vertical spectrum can
then be used to determine the predominant
frequency / resonance (f0) and the seismic
amplification factor (H / V).
II. METHODOLOGY
A. Method
The method that use in order to complete this
studies was Nakamura [5] technique which is
alternatively known as the HVSR method. The
method consists of first recording several minutes
of 3-component ambient noise vibrations, and
performing a Fourier transform on each
C. Device Sensitivity
The sensitivity of device is also need to be
measured to know how sensitive the device that
we use. Ryan et al.[8] research show that the five
devices were used to collect instantaneous
accelerations as same as used for this research,
recorded by the SWAY Software in a steady state.
Repeated measures were recorded in both screenup and screen-down positions with the device
laying flat and angled to 60-degrees. In the flat
position, screen-up and screen-down mean
accelerations were -1.0074g (+0.0202g) and
"event"[5].

IV. CONCLUSION
Based on the results of experiments
conducted, it was found that the location of the
placement tool has value 0,905Hz dominant
frequency with a maximum amplitude reaches
0.946 while the value of 0.988 Kg. This indicates
that the calculation is based on experiments that
are not classified as areas prone to damage
buildings because amplifikasinya <1 are
associated with low soil susceptibility values.
