Análisis de la variación de los parámetros de resistencia al corte en suelos de sitios de préstamo de Calderón, la Loma y Chillogallo de la ciudad de Quito, con diferentes grados de compactación y contenidos de humedad, mediante el ensayo de corte directo

Abstract

The purpose of the research carried out in this article is to know the parameters of shear resistance by varying the degree of compaction and moisture content. Soil samples were extracted from Calderón, La Loma and Chillogallo loan sites in a natural state (unaltered blocks) and altered soil, for the different tests proposed. In the soil mechanics and geotechnics laboratories, the tests of granulometry, Atterberg limits, natural density, specific gravity, modified Proctor were carried out by varying the degree of compaction of 80%, 90% and 95%, in turn also the optimal moisture content of 95% and 101%, in order to then determine the parameters of cohesion and internal friction angle of each sample in the direct shear test. All the results obtained were analyzed, mainly those of direct shear, in order to observe how the shear resistance parameters vary and provide correct correlations and conclusions.
