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 “Turupamba”

Abstract

This project focuses on the characterization of the subgrade materials in non-urbanized areas of the city of Loja, applied to road infrastructure in the estate called "Turupamba" and the creation of a geotechnical zoning map. It began with the collection of information in the field and delimitation of the study area, was identified and Place coordinate sampling points to each 500 m radius to extract samples at a depth of 0.5 m, 1.00 m and 1.50 m, was conducted moisture content, particle size analysis, consistency limits, Proctor and modified CBR, breeding material for the abrasion test was considered: the DCP situ assays to characterize materials laboratory tests as used. With the analysis of results of the characterization of the subgrade materials geotechnical zoning map was drawn up to identify areas with homogeneous geotechnical characteristics according to soil physical-mechanical parameters identified.
