Cálculo del factor de seguridad de un suelo arcilloso parcialmente saturado ubicado en el cantón Pasaje

Abstract

The present titling work consists of the calculation of the safety factor of a partially saturated clayey soil located in the Pasaje city. For the elaboration of the same, laboratory tests will be carried out such as: limits both liquid and plastic, moisture content and simple compression, the latter with the purpose of obtaining data such as cohesion and the angle of internal friction of the soil, as well as soil density, these data will be used to apply the method given by Hoek and Bray ,1981. This method is applicable for the most part to rocky slopes, but it can also be used for soils with a high content of plasticity and circular faults, as in this case, the height of the slope and its angle, are other data. required to apply this method. The same one that starts from the value of moisture content, by which it indicates that it is a partially saturated soil and in the same way it reveals that the abacus to use is the one corresponding to 4, with which the value of the safety factor will finally be known as well as the stability of said slope.
