Evaluar los parámetros elástico -mecánicos del subsuelo para la caracterización geotécnica mediante la interpretación de Vp y Vs de sísmica de refracción para el dique del depósito de relaves Quimi.

Abstract

Abstract: The characterizationof the elastic-mechanical parameters based on indirect data by means of the seismic refraction method is a geophysical method, it allows to define the geotechnical parameters to study the elastic behavior of the layers of the subsoil and with it define the physical mechanical properties of the materials where an engineering work is going to be implanted. The physical parameter used is the speed of propagation of the Vp wave that travels through the subsurface materials as a function of its density. This parameter will provide information on the geomechanical characteristics of the area in which they are applied. The measured indices maintain correlations with the geological nature of the various horizons, and their respective depths and thicknesses can still be known. The data obtained allowed to characterize the geotechnical properties of the subsoil of the foundation of the dam of the QUIMI tailings deposit, where the tailings will be deposited as a result of the extraction of ore from theMirador mine, which will withstand load and pressure in situ during the filling phase of the dam.
