Análisis y diseño de estabilización de taludes para mitigar el movimiento activo de la zona Chirimoyo que afectan a la línea de conducción de agua cruda del sistema de agua potable de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

The geological - geotechnical problem that presents the section between the abscissas 32 + 600 and 32 + 900 in the sector of the Chirimoyo ravine, which is the study area of ​​the present thesis, is affected by the phenomenon of mass movement; Which is directly affecting the raw water pipeline of the Drinking Water Master Plan of the city of Laja. The causes of these movements are due to the strong periods of rain, deforestation, strong slopes, soil type, etc. The Chirimoyo area was divided into two sectors; High tuberous sector located on the left bank (downstream) of the Chirimoyo gully and gabion wall sector located on the right bank (downstream) of the gully, where the Chirimoyo gully divides the area under study Between the abscissas 32 + 600 and 32 + 900, the denomination given to these two parts was used to have a better location when we refer to the studies and solutions that will be given to the Chirimoyo area. In order to know the physical and mechanical properties of the soils in the research area, several field and laboratory studies were carried out. With the UTG UCG technicians, several field visits were made, the same that made all the observations and acknowledgments, to give the technical solution to the problem of instability of the tatudes that affect the line of conduction in the Chirimoyo sector.
