Pasantía técnica en Geotecnia, en la empresa INGETEST IE SAS de la ciudad de Sogamoso

Abstract

This internship has three scenarios in which a cognitive and directional contribution is made. Firstly, activities in soil geotechnical engineering are carried out with scope only to the exploratory conditions and the performance of laboratory tests (consistency, granulometry, natural moisture, field densities, one-dimensional consolidation, uniaxial strength, specific gravity by pycnometry), the results obtained are supported by technical parameters in formats that are subsequently delivered to the Geotechnical Engineer who evaluates the type of foundation and the level of slump, plus the other conditions contained in the reports that must be conclusively reached in a geotechnical study of soils for foundations.

Secondly, construction materials engineering refers to the resistance that a concrete should have, based on the setting time at 7, 14 and 28 days. Results are presented for 470 cylinders, where the value of resistance to failure, the type of failure and whether the resistance obtained complies with the setting period are characterized.

Thirdly, several of the formats in Geotechnics of soils, quality of materials for concrete cylinders and other engineering activities developed by the company are improved in the sense of exposing a greater number of parameters with a better explanation, for the furthest understanding of the client.

Finally, chapters 4 and 5 describe each one of the cognitive elements of the areas and the way they impact positively or negatively in the business exercise INGETEST IE SAS, and what concerns the relationship and leveling of the academic contributed from the University to the student, and vice versa.

Keywords: Geotechnics, soil laboratory, concrete strength, formats, parameters.
