Caracterización de los materiales MERI producidos en la excavación de los túneles del corredor vial Chirajara – Fundadores

Abstract

This research will focus on the characterization and reuse of MERI materials “natural thermal materials, transition materials, weathered rock, jointed rock and healthy rock from the excavation and construction of the tunnels” between the Chirajara – Fundadores road corridor. For the implementation of the project, a mixed methodology will be used, since it will be developed from the observation, analysis and interpretation of the variables obtained and some physical and mechanical properties of the excavation materials will be determined. Finally, this study analyzes that the components of said extracted materials, due to their detailed characterization through laboratories and tests, makes it clear that not all the material extracted from the excavation of a tunnel should end up as final disposal in a ZODME and that if has new proposals, the MERI-T should not be considered rubble, residue, waste or leftovers.
