Evaluación geomecánica del macizo rocoso para el diseño de explotación de materiales de construcción de la cantera La Virginia de la provincia del Azuay

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of the research is to carry out the Exploitation Design of the "La Virginia" quarry, located in the DugDug Parish, Paute Canton, Azuay Province, this project is based on the collection of topographic and geological information of the area of interest, as well as as well as its main technical, operational, economic parameters that will guarantee optimal exploitation in order to assess the quality of the rock mass. simple, ultrasound that indicated a resistance between very good and good. The stability of the slope is stable with a safety factor of 1.3 in the best conditions and with the worst it is 1.17, which means that it is in the appropriate range for an exploitation design. For the quarry exploitation design, the technical parameters to consider are: the slope angle, the height and the number of banks, the safety berm, the work platform, as well as the operating parameters where the technical characteristics will be studied. of the machinery to be used.
