Modelación reducida de taludes en suelo utilizando anclajes como sistema de refuerzo

Abstract

This paper presents the construction of the equipment that allows you to experience models in small size slopes. The equipment consists of a rigid frame.The laboratories were conducted to granular sandy soil, used to model the slopes. Laboratory tests such as moisture, grain size, specific gravity, direct shear, standard proctor, unit mass, unit weights and absorption were performed. These lab tests helped in the identification and classification of the properties that are in the granular sandy soil used in the project. After having soil characteristics and armed equipment, it proceeded to make the modeling of embankments on the machine. It started modeling a slope which does not present any kind of reinforcement. A distributed force was placed, which made the slope shows a series of failures. The reaction was shown to identify the essential characteristics of the slope. It was necessary to identify the types of anchors that were used as stabilization system. Then slope modeling was performed by applying a stabilizing system. Several tests were carried out taking into account variables such as the length and number of anchors. Laboratory traction was also performed on the universal machine, the material used in the anchors.
