Estudios de asentamientos por consolidación instantánea, primaria y secundaria en suelos limosos y arcillosos de la Ciudad de Zamora

Abstract

Abstract: The present work presents the study of settlement by consolidation in clays and silts of Zamora city expansion zones, where it was determined the necessary parameters to predict the soils behavior when applying load. The studied areas are Benjamín Carrión, Jorge Mosquera, El Mirador and Santa Rosa; where altered and unchanged samples were extracted to obtain their physical and mechanical properties, and to be able to establish the settlement quantity when interacting with a structure. In conclusion, with the parameters obtained through the different tests, the magnitude of instantaneous settlement, settlement by primary and secondary consolidation was determined, with which it was determined the sector most vulnerable to undergo deformations with the application of load.
