Review on Coastal Liquefaction at Sabah Bays
Soil liquefaction is a phenomenon that occurs when the soil loses strength. During the incident, especially when there was an earthquake, it caused the soil to behave like a liquid and caused the ground to lose the ability to bear its structure. Fortunately, none of the events occurred in Sabah province. However, in the gulf and coastal zones of Sabah and there is a need to identify the state of its soil structure that has potential to liquefaction especially areas close to the fault zone. The scope of the study will focus along the coastline of Sabah’s bay. Liquefaction factor is determined using the Factor of Safety (FS) calculation where if the FS is more than 1.0, therefore no need for any liquefaction consideration, however if the FS value is less than 1.0, then it will be classified as liquified soil. At the end of the study, it can be summarized that one location is found to be fully exposed to liquefaction. Furthermore, other bay areas show the signs of liquefaction only at a depth of 0.9 m meters below the ground. Nevertheless, three other locations in West Sabah showed no signs of liquefaction. This study presents an easier method for evaluating liquefaction involving simple calculations, and the results obtained using the techniques are rather acceptable.
