Estudio de la estabilidad de talud de la estación de servicios P&S del cantón Sozoranga, Provincia de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The present investigation focuses on the analysis of the stability of the slope under the station P&S service located in the Sozoranga canton, belonging to the province of Loja, with the in order to propose a viable mitigation measure, both economic and constructive. For him During the development of the work, both field and laboratory tests were used. to terrain topography, SPT tests, vertical electrical sounding (SEV) and shear test directly, to make a compendium of information corresponding to the stratigraphy of the soil, geomechanical properties of the soil and the conditioning and triggering factors that compromise the stability of the slope. Based on the information obtained and using the Slide2 software analyzed the stability of the natural slope, obtaining a safety factor lower than that suggested by the NEC equal to 0.95. While modifying the geometry of the slope to through the terrace, it was possible to stabilize it, obtaining a safety factor equal to 1,095. Finally, an estimate was made of the cost that would be generated by the implementation of this corrective measure, obtaining a value of $11,707.24.
