Correlación entre el coeficiente de compresibilidad versus el porcentaje de humedad, relación de vacíos y el límite líquido de los suelos del barrio el Garrochal.

Abstract

The Garrochal neighborhood is in the stage of real estate growth urban and most of the soil is soft, so it is important to carry out soil studies and that they are complied with in order to avoid fissures and cracks due to differential settlements resulting from the levels of effort that occur in the foundations and the phenomenon of consolidation of soils. In this article to study the settlements that are produced by consolidation, one of the parameters is compressibility coefficient (Cc) because to avoid establishes the ratio of soil voids with the level of applied effort changes. In this research, a statistical correlation is made between the compressibility coefficient and some soil index properties such as liquid limit (wL), water content (w), void ratio (e) and specific gravity of solids (Gs). By obtaining altered and unaltered soil samples that were analyzed in the laboratory for their physical characterization and obtaining the compressibility coefficient using the CRS consolidation equipment (Constant Rate of Strain consolidation test). Finally, comparison and discussion of the statistical correlation was made with existing correlations obtained by different authors.
