The main objective of this study was to create a Geomechanical Zoning Map for a polygon located in the northwestern area of Loja, based on the soil bearing capacity derived from lithological and topographic surveys, at a 1:6000 scale. The lithological map identified six zones with different soil classifications. DCP tests were conducted at six demonstration points, including one comparison point, to evaluate the bearing capacity. Results showed varying soil strengths, with the highest CBR value of 79.36% in the center of the polygon (ML lithology) and the lowest CBR value of 18.1% in the upper left margin (OH lithology). Overall, the soils ranged from good to acceptable in bearing capacity. It was also noted that approximately 70% of the polygon area is already urbanized.

摘要

The main objective of this study was to create a Geomechanical Zoning Map for a polygon located in the northwestern area of Loja, based on the soil bearing capacity derived from lithological and topographic surveys, at a 1:6000 scale. The lithological map identified six zones with different soil classifications. DCP tests were conducted at six demonstration points, including one comparison point, to evaluate the bearing capacity. Results showed varying soil strengths, with the highest CBR value of 79.36% in the center of the polygon (ML lithology) and the lowest CBR value of 18.1% in the upper left margin (OH lithology). Overall, the soils ranged from good to acceptable in bearing capacity. It was also noted that approximately 70% of the polygon area is already urbanized.
