Correlación entre el CBR, DCP, las propiedades índice y mecánicas en los suelos de la parroquia Río Verde del cantón Baños, provincia de Tungurahua.”

Abstract

The purpose of this present experimental work is to determine correlations between the laboratory CBR and the index and mechanical properties of the soils of the Río Verde parish of the Baños de Agua Santa canton, Tungurahua province. Twelve places were selected for sampling, these places are strategic points adjacent to the road, at least 500 meters away for the collection of samples from the pits in which different types of soils were obtained. For the tests carried out in-situ, the Dynamic Penetration Cone and the Ottawa Cone and Sand were used for field density. The laboratory tests carried out were: Atterberg limits, the determination of specific gravity, the granulometry, the compaction test for modified Proctor "B" and the CBR test. When processing the data, the CBR, the DCP and the index properties are correlated to obtain the equations and coefficients of determination, choosing the resulting values greater than 50 percent.
