Estudio del comportamiento Geomecánicade las turbas en la construcción de una vía de primer orden en la ciudad de Guayaquil provincia del Guayas

Abstract

Abstract: In the province of Guayas, geotechnical studies arecarriedoutwith the purpose of evaluating the geomechanical characteristics of the foundation soils, precisely at Km 15 of the Salitre road, Las Lojas Parish, Canton Daule. According to theoretical studies and evidence in other regions, it is presumed that the structures that could be accentuated in clay soils or peat may present affectations by excessive settlemenstsif preventive measures are overlooked during the construction process depending on the analyses carried out after the drilling. Terrains that show the presence of turbo or clay material are not suitable for the foundation of a structure, consideringthat this type of soils isheterogeneous and the advance that geotechnics hashad led to create new construction methods, trying to implement useful methodologies for analysis and subsequently present solutions and recommendations for this type of constructive obstacles.By means of in situ drilling and laboratory tests, geotechnical parameters are determined for peat or clay soils and thus make an analysis according to the capacity they have to withstand loads imposed by any type of structure.
