Diseño de estabilización del talud del km = 11 + 570 al 11+610 de la vía Villonaco Cera Taquil del cantón y provincia de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: On the Villonaco -Cera -Taquil road there are landslides on different slopes, representing a potential risk to adjacent towns and civil infrastructure.In this context, the present investigation allows determiningthe factors that influence the instability of the slope located on the Villonaco -Cera -Taquil road, between abscissas 11+570 and 11+610 of the canton Loja.The study was developed through the collection of information such as general characteristics, topography and geological analysisof the area. Premises that allow the identification ofconditioning and triggering factors that caused the instability of the slope. Subsequently, a detailed exploration of the subsoil was carried out, applying direct and indirect methods, to determine the physical and geo-mechanical propertiesof the soil.For its evaluation and modeling, the SLOPE/W 2016 software was used, which uses the limit equilibrium methods to calculate slope stability.The results established the conditions of stability by reducing the destabilizing forces that produce the movement, this is achieved by modifying the geometry of the slope, redistributingthe forces due to the weight of the materials, obtaining a stable configuration.
