Estudio de suelos para análisis del talud Cerro Dos Bocas, parroquia rural San Juan de Cerro Azul del cantón Atahualpa

Abstract

The studies carried out in this work lead to respond with technical and experimental criteria a due analysis of slopes with which in a civil work it is necessary to carry out. What is proposed are results that will serve for further analysis with respect to the determination of the characteristics of soils on slopes. With the methodology carried out and based on other fundamentals found, new knowledge was obtained regarding the studies of soils appropriate for the determination of their characteristics. The study began with the recognition of the site in the Dos Bocas sector where the elaboration of the calicata would later be carried out. Then the respective sampling was carried out which, as indicated, was obtained at every half meter of depth until reaching one and a half meters. In the end, these were transferred to the laboratory for their respective analysis. Laboratory tests were carried out in due time which presented results for each soil characteristic; These are: mechanical characteristics, classification and compaction of soils. The properties of the soil interpret that the slope located near the Dos Bocas sector has a soil with low density, low plasticity, classified as a dirty soil of clayey-silty sand, and characterized as cohesive. Analysis after the results reveal that the slope has a soil where its characteristics greatly influence its instability. Under this criterion, mitigation measures are established that help reduce the effects of slippage by increasing stability throughout its design.
