Abstrakt: A fault called as Lembang Fault is known as one of the most potential faults in West Java of Indonesia that could trigger earthquakes with magnitude up to Mw 7.0, especially in Bandung Region. This study presents analysis of ground response of Bandung Regency subsoils due to predicted earthquake triggered by Lembang Fault, West Java Province, Indonesia. Site investigation is conducted in the study area. The ground motion analysis is conducted to predict potential ground motion that could happen in the study area. The spectral matching method is employed to generate ground motion in the study area. Furthermore, one-dimensional seismic ground response analysis is performed to observe site response during earthquake. The results show that several sites could undergo amplification and de-amplification. If a Mw 7.0 earthquake happens, the damage intensity level varied from VIII to X could happen. The results also indicate that spectral acceleration at ground surface tends to be critical at long period. Therefore, the implementation of seismic design code for earthquake resistance design should be concerned in the study area. In general, the result of this study could deliver a recommendation to local government to consider earthquake in the study area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
