Propuesta de un documento de apoyo para la supervisión de la construcción de muros de contención en sótanos

Abstract

This document's goal is to develop support for the supervision of the construction of retaining walls in basements of buildings, aligning with the standards of the Colombian Regulations for Earthquake-Resistant Construction. The variables that affect the use of materials and design parameters in the construction of these walls are identified, as well as a summary of the applicable factors and specifications. The understanding of the structural and normative characteristics, through the collection and analysis of secondary data. The research results highlight the importance of considering aspects such as the type of soil, the resistance of concrete and steel, and the dimensions of the structural elements. The main discussions revolve around the need for effective control in construction supervision, providing clear guidelines for the management of materials and specifications. The conclusions highlight the relevance of carrying out prior geotechnical studies and complying with regulatory specifications, which contributes to better stability and durability of retaining walls.
