    Análisis y evaluación de las propiedades físicomecánicas de suelos mediante el desarrollo de un software específico, aplicando la normativa AASHTO y ASTM
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2022-09) Merino Jiménez, Steven David; Pérez Maldonado, Ruth Lorena
    The present research work consists of the development of a program coded in a graphical interface in an appropriate software, for the processing of data from soil mechanics tests: natural moisture, field density, granulometry, Attemberg limits, SUCS and AASHTO soil classification, modified Proctor, and California Bearing Ratio, having as input data the information collected from performing such tests. For the creation of the program it was necessary to review the different criteria of the tests according to AASHTO, ASTM, INEN standards, in order to standardize the calculation processes both manually and using the program. The verification and demonstration of the validity of the results was carried out by checking the manual calculation and the program, analyzing three samples taken, obtaining a null error, which verifies that all the information obtained with the program is totally reliable. As a result, a soil manual and coding algorithms were elaborated.
