Evaluación del suelo de cimentación de la estructura principal del colegio de bachillerato Adolfo Valarezo

Abstract

Abstract: One of the problems that occurs in most structures is due to the uncontrolled pressure exerted by the superstructure on the foundation soil. The lack of support capacity of the soil causes a number of pathologies in the structures. In order to know the causes that generate the pathologies in the main structure of the Adolfo Valarezoeducational unit, the need arose to evaluate the foundation soil; With this purpose, the research raised the objectives to carry out the geotechnical model based on the properties of the soils, to establish the soil-foundation contact pressures under static and dynamic conditions, to evaluate the admissible capacity by shear and performance, as well as to carry out the sliding analysis of the structure. From the results obtained, it was determined that the soil under the foundations are clays of medium andhigh plasticity (CL and CH), of medium to soft consistency and medium compressibility, with a water table located at the level of the rudeness. Electrical resistivity tomography indicates that the soil is composed of saturated clays and silts.
