Correlación entre el CBR, DCP, propiedades índice y mecánicas en suelos de los cantones Píllaro; parroquias San Miguelito, Emilio María Terán y Baquerizo Moreno; provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

An exploratory inspection has been made in towns of San Miguelito, Emilio María Terán and Baquerizo Moreno, where 12 trials pit have been developed, and 4 for each one of towns, those that were used to field test like DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer) and density in situ; the next step was took samples and carried out to laboratory test that were: moisture content, granulometry, specific gravity, Atterberg limits, CBR; all of them were performed in the Laboratories of Testing Materials and Soils from Civil and Mechanic Engineering Faculty of Technical University of Ambato. Once all of tests had been completed and got the results, the soil samples extracted from the different towns were zoning based on the AASHTO, ASTM and SUCS standards. Subsequently, the correlations were done through the minimum square method, then this was interpreted and analyzed if the coefficient of determination is greater than 50 percent so that is an acceptable value of correlation.
