Estudio de asentamientos por consolidación instantánea, primaria y secundaria en suelos arcillosos de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

This work is focused on the study of instant settlements, by primary and secondary consolidation in clay soils of the urban expansion zone of Loja city. To do this, the edometric test was carried out in order to obtain the parameters that allow the determination of the settlements. By means of the municipal cadastre the study area was delimited to the sectors of PROURVI, Colinas Lojanas, Ciudad Victoria and Carigan, in which twelve samples were made to determine the more sensitive clays to constant loads of different magnitude. The load, discharge and recharge curve of the consolidation test for each sector was obtained, which was essential for the settlements calculation. With the results obtained it is determined that the most unfavorable sector for construction is Carigan, followed by Ciudad Victoria, PROURVI and finally Colinas Lojanas.
