Caracterización del suelo del sector Shucos

Abstract

The conduction line of the Drinking Water Master Plan of the City of Loja crosses a geological zone formed by two formations: Chiguinda unit (micacius schist, quartzite, metamorphic gneiss) and the Intrusive San Lucas (granodiorites altered), the soil in which it is Cemented the tuber and the anchoring structures are residual soils very prone to erosion. Most of the main branch line has been built in a half-slope section, passing through certain stretches of soils with deficient physical-mechanical characteristics that show geological instability and have generated landslides affecting the slope and anchors placed in view To give solution or solutions to the problem, it is necessary to carry out geotechnical studies, making a soil characterization, studying the physical and mechanical properties of the materials in the sector.
