Análisis de la influencia de la sobrecarga e infiltración frente a la estabilidad del talud ubicado en el barrio La Banda

Abstract

Abstract: The study was carried out on the slope located in the La Banda neighborhood of the city of Loja, which is currently under the effect of overload, after several tests it was identified that it is formed by a stratigraphy based on clay soils with high and low plasticity sand. The importance of the analysis was to evaluate the stability of the slope, against triggering factors such as infiltration and overload, which was developed in three different topographic profiles in order to identify the lowest FS value, the same as it was performed in simulations with geotechnical analysis softwares such as Slide and Phase2, the first evaluates the slope with limit equilibrium with the Spencer method, and the second with the finite element methodology, thus obtaining a result of slope instability against overload and infiltration, therefore, slope lowering and the construction of a gravity wall at the foot of the slope are proposed as a mitigation measure, which help stability.
