Evaluación de la influencia del tamaño de agregado en la densidad seca máxima y contenido de humedad óptimo en suelos granulares mediante el ensayo proctor modificado en la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

During the development of this research, work has been done in a comprehensive manner considering the theoretical and practical way to determine the influence of aggregate size on the maximum dry density in granular soils to understand how changing the percentage of coarse aggregate can improve the properties. mechanics giving way to increasing the degree of compaction, determining through the Modified Proctor test defining the optimal humidity. This study promotes construction improvements by optimizing soil properties, benefiting the construction community by providing key data for project design and execution. By understanding how aggregate size affects soil density and moisture, more efficient and sustainable construction practices can be implemented.
