It is well known that earthquake-induced liquefaction can cause remarkable damage to buildings. A recent disaster involving liquefaction in Palu damaged buildings and infrastructure and has become the focus of many researchers. Detailed study of liquefaction is necessary in order to have a good understanding and direct mitigation efforts for the future. In this study, the liquefaction potential of sands with various grain size distributions was analyzed. The research was experimental using a laboratory sieve shaker. The samples were taken from six areas near important facilities. From this, the relationship between grain distribution and liquefaction potential could be plotted and this information could become an important input for liquefaction mitigation efforts in sandy sediment areas.
