The purpose of this experimental work is to determine the correlation between the laboratory CBR and the index and mechanical properties of the soils of the Marcos Espinel parish of the Píllaro canton, Tungurahua province. For the investigation, 12 soil samples were taken from different roads of the parish, a rectangular pit of 1.50 m x 1.50 m and 1.00 m deep was made, removing the topsoil layer, taking an altered sample of approximately 30 kg at each point. Field and laboratory tests were carried out to know the type of soil and its characteristics, when the tests were completed, the results were analyzed and 22 correlations were obtained between the properties of the soil whose coefficient of determination varies between 50 percent and 97 percent, that is say are acceptable correlations. The results obtained through the correlations serve as a guide for preliminary pavement designs and that the tests carried out serve to evaluate the quality of the terrain for subgrade, sub-base and pavement base, and will also contribute to the zoning of the different types of soils in the area, Píllaro canton, Tungurahua province.
