Characterizing near-surface features of shallow shear wave velocity in the Way Ratai geothermal field
Environmental Earth Sciences(2024)
摘要
Passive seismic activity measurements in the Way Ratai geothermal field are needed to identify near-surface features. In addition to the ease of measurement, passive seismic methods can be an initial solution in characterizing geological conditions. This study aims to characterize near-surface features using the dominant frequency ( f_0 ) pattern and 3D modeling of the shear wave velocity ( V_s ). A total of 70 measurement points with intervals between points of approximately 500 m are scattered in the southern area of Mount Ratai. The f_0 curve was obtained using the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) method, while 3D modeling uses OpenHVSR. The characteristics of the surface rock layer identified by f_0 pattern is in the range of 0.2–2 Hz. Furthermore, the Kali Tiga and Margodadi fields show thick soft rock patterns near the surface, with an f_0 values between 0.6 and 0.8 Hz. The cross-section of the 3D model at a depth of 10 and 25 m is dominated by stiff soil layers, while at a depth of 35 m, it becomes very dense soil and soft rock. The characteristic of shear wave velocity ( V_s ) in the geothermal field influenced by the clay alteration near the surface, ranging from 175 to 350 m/s. These results can explain the possibility of a thick cap rock layer feature in the Way Ratai geothermal field.
