Correlación entre el CBR, DCP, las propiedades índice y mecánicas en los suelos de las parroquias: Baños de Agua Santa y LLigua del cantón Baños de Agua Santa, provincia de Tungurahua, Ecuador.

Abstract

The following titling project aims to determine the different types of soil found in the two parishes located in the Baños de Agua Santa canton where the studies were carried out, to subsequently determine the correlation between the DCP, CBR and the index and mechanical properties of granular soils. In the parishes of Baños de Agua Santa and Lligua, four and two roads were chosen respectively, in each road, two pits were made with dimensions of 1 square meter by one meter deep and at a distance of 500 meters between each pit, in order to perform field tests such as: Dynamic Cone Penetrometer, field density with Cone and Ottawa sand to subsequently collect 50 kilograms of soil sample and to determine the different types of laboratory tests such as: granulometry, Modified Proctor Test, CBR among others and obtain knowledge of what types of soils are found in these parishes and thus be able to analyze statistically and determine correlations. The results provide a zoning of the different soil types found in these two parishes of Baños de Agua Santa canton. Likewise, the Baños-Runtún road was chosen to carry out the TPDA study for a period of 20 years. With all the data obtained, we proceeded to carry out two designs of flexible pavements in the 'DISAASHTO-93' program.
