Capacidad portante de los suelos, en arcilla y arena para vivienda de tres pisos en la Ciudad de Machala

Abstract

Civil engineering within society plays an important and almost indispensable role in its development, thanks to this science throughout history it has been possible to build great architectural works that to this day are world renowned. It is a discipline that is concatenated with other precepts or sub-disciplines to achieve success in the proposed projects, such is the case of the soil study, The same that realizing it in a proper and timely manner helps each construction last the estimated time without suffering premature damage that proves the safety and integrity of the people who inhabit the structure. In the city of Machala it is important that these types of studies be carried out, because due to its geographical location, a large part of the soil has a high water table, mainly in the southern area near the Pacific Ocean, so to build In a safe and efficient way, you must know the type of soil with which you will be working in order to act correctly in the face of the situation that arises. This project seeks to calculate the bearing capacity of two types of soil, the samples have been taken from two different sites at 3 depths; The tests have been carried out in the soil laboratories of the Technical University of Machala and the results have been obtained using Excel software that facilitates the execution of calculations, obtaining curves and other required data.
