Caracterización de los materiales de subrasante en zonas no urbanizadas de la ciudad de Loja, aplicadas a obras de infraestructura vial en el polígono denominado “Borja”

Abstract

The project aims to make known the physical-mechanical characteristics of subgrade materials of non-urbanized areas of Loja city, applied to works of road infrastructure within the polygon of study called Borja. Characteristics such as: classification of soil and bearing capacity of soils, shall be drawn from existing materials to 1.50 meters deep in each of testpits that are strategically located and evenly distributed within the study area. With the information obtained will be created zoning maps of the study area based to soil types and maps depending on the bearing capacity of soil, with the purpose of create a database with the geotechnical properties of subgrade materials of non-urban areas. This database will allow develop a planning of future urban infrastructure of the city, in an orderly manner and technified, according to municipal ordinances, and design regulations existing
