Análisis de las zonas estables e inestables mediante la identificación de los movimientos de ladera presentes en el barrio Ciudad Victoria en la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: This qualification work is aimed at carrying out the "Analysis of stable and unstable zones by identifying the slope movements present in the Ciudad Victoria neighbourhood in the city of Loja". Therefore, field and office work was carried out, including the lithological map of the study area, description of outcrops, topographical survey, opening of pits to obtain samples, where through the tests it was possible to obtain the geotechnical properties of the materials. Laboratory tests determined that they are MH or OH soils and Cl type soils, with moderate soil permeability. According to the stability map, it shows that the soil in the Ciudad Victoria neighbourhood has a very high instability condition, due to a high morphology as a consequence of soil saturation, erosion of the lithological materials and low cohesion, as a consequence of the fact that in the higher parts of the neighbourhood there is greater instability as a consequence of rainfall and the accumulation of underground water.
