Análisis de las correlaciones entre propiedades índice y mecánicas con la resistividad eléctrica de suelos granulares en la zona 3 de la ciudad de Ambato

Abstract

The experimental work developed an electrical resistivity study to later analyze it with the index and mechanical properties of granular soils in the city of Ambato, all the procedures that were performed during the project are indicated below. A macro project was formed indicating four areas of Ambato in order to reach a larger sample size of the research. A visit was made to the sectors where 10 points were selected for each zone, the same ones that were previously identified in previous titling works. At the identified points, field tests were carried out and samples were subsequently collected to perform the respective laboratory tests. With the results obtained through the tests, correlation regressions were established using the method of least squares used data processing software. Correlation values that had a sensible relationship and those that had a correlation value greater than 50 percent were chosen. Finally, 30 correlations were found with R2 correlation coefficients that comprised between 61 to 96 percent, which indicated that the electrical resistivity method is reliable and in a certain economic way to find certain index and mechanical properties of granular soils.
