Análisis del comportamiento de suelos finos por infiltración y su relación con el movimiento de masas

Abstract

Abstract: The behavior of fine soils by infiltration and its relationship with mass movement in a slope, located in the "San José de Panamá" sector, in the city of Loja, province of Loja, Ecuador, was analyzed: UTM 17 S 9560200 N; 695600 Ε. The following were carried out: "in situ" tests (infiltration velocity using the mini-disk infiltrometer), laboratory tests (physical-mechanical characterization of the soil and resistance to soil cutting). With the data obtained, thematic maps of infiltration velocity were created by means of free software to relate the capacity of the soil to absorb and retain water, with other important factors such as: slope, precipitation, type of soil and the speed of movement of the soil floor It was determined that the type of soil in the study area is composed of high and medium plasticity clays, as well as highly compressible silts. It was determined that the study area presents different values of infiltration velocity, and that there is a relationship between this infiltration and the landslide.
