Análisis de la estabilización del talud de la vía Gualaceo Uzhar San Juan, ubicada en el cantón Gualaceo

Abstract

Abstract: The Tarquigeological formation crosses the Gualaceocanton, whose main components are clays and silts, which on contact with water produce mass movement. For the stabilization analysis, several views were made to the analysis site, in order to identify the type of material, the main causes that caused the slope movement. By means of the topographic survey, the fault plane and the slope inclination were defined, fundamental factors to describe the type of landslide that affected the area.From the slope under study, several samples were extracted which were analyzed in the laboratory to determine the mechanical properties using the ASTM standard, and thus be able to obtain the classification of the soil, this classification was made with the AASHTO and SUCS standard. With the data obtained in the laboratory and using the slide and GEO5 software, the slope is modeled to obtain the optimal safety factor, which according to the Ecuadorian Construction Standard must be greater than 1.5 for the slope to work in stable conditions.
