Correlación entre el CBR y las propiedades índice y mecánicas en los suelos granulares, de las parroquias Cunchibamba y Unamuncho, cantón Ambato. provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

A visual exploration was carried out on the roads of Cunchibamba and Unamuncho, where were 12 excavations were done in order to perform the DCP test (Static Dynamic Penetrometer) and field density; then, we proceeded to take the samples necessary to obtain the data provided by laboratory tests, which are: moisture contents, granulometric analysis , specific gravity, Atterberg limits and CBR, the same that were made in the Materials Testing and Soil Mechanics Laboratories of the Faculty of Civil and Mechanical Engineering of the Technical University of Ambato. Once all the tests were completed, with the obtained results, the soil was classified, based on the AASHTO, ASTM, and SUCS standards. Afterwards, the correlations were made using the least square method; correlations with a r² coefficient greater than 50% were considered acceptable and were analyzed and interpreted.
