Análisis de capacidad de carga del suelo después de la aplicación de columnas de grava en la ciudad de Guayaquil

Abstract

The study assessed the bearing capacity of the soil after installing gravel columns in an area planned for a building in Guayaquil, where geotechnical conditions are deficient. Field tests and analytical calculations were conducted to compare soil properties before and after the intervention. The results showed that gravel columns significantly improve load capacity and reduce uneven settlement, providing a more stable foundation for construction.
