Análisis del sistema de construcción de la vía de integración barrial de la Ciudad de Loja

Abstract

The construction of the lateral passage of Loja, not having had a study of slope stabilization, so actually presents several mass movements and faults in the road. For the case study located at coordinates 9560475N 695501E (abscissa 4+511.00 – 4+561.00), a stability analysis was performed by the limit equilibrium method (Bishop ad Spencer), modeling with the Slope program, to determine the stability (safety factor) and in the MDC program, a reinforced concrete wall as a mitigation measure. For the global study, we took into account factors that trigger landslides and the geotechnical characteristics of the soil. Considering as a main factor the infiltration of waterr, as it flows through the existing fissures in this type of clay soils, the same that derives from the constructions of pits for animal consumption without any regulations, from the possible leakage of the drinking water pipeline network and from the nearby buildings lacking sanitary or rainwater drainage that discharge their water into septic tanks, in addition to the precipitation that in winter time saturates the soil more
