Análisis y rediseño estructural de muro deslizado en la Unidad Educativa Lauro Damerval Ayora de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: In order to attend the stability of a containment element in the Educational Unit "Lauro Damerval Ayora" in the city of Loja, the evaluation and redesign of the unstable structure was carried out based on the sizing and geotechnical parameters such as friction angle, cohesion, among others, obtained from in situ and laboratory tests such as: Standard Penetration Test, Geophysical Prospecting Test by Refraction Seismic and Triaxial Compression Test. The modeling of both the existing wall and the redesign of the proposed wall was performed in Geo5 software and considered important variables to be mentioned such as: seismic conditions and existing overload; determining that the failure of the wall was due to the lack of a perimeter drainage system that can lead the waters in such a way that they do not saturate the soil where the retaining element was implanted; the redesign of the proposed wall is presented with the respective drainage system to ensure the stability of both the wall and the coliseum.
