Mechanical Properties of a Soil with the Addition of Pine Ash and Eucalyptus, Baños Del Inca - Cajamarca

Abstract

Many cultures in the mountain region have indirectly stabilized their soils or paths on their paths. In the case of Baños del Inca – Cajamarca, the people or community members of the area indirectly add pine and eucalyptus ashes to their paths; This research aims to evaluate the physicalmechanical properties of a soil in the area of Baños del Inca – Shaullo Chico. The research is quantitative in nature, experimental in nature, having a base sample of a soil without adding any type of ash and then with each type of ash that is extracted from Shaullo Chico and from that the addition of 2% and 4% of pine and eucalyptus ash, to obtain the Proctor and the C.B.R; The standard sample obtained a PROCTOR of 1.61 g/cm3 and CBR of 1.55 g/cm3, with 2% pine ash in Proctor it reaches 1.80 g/cm3 and CBR with 1.74 g/cm3, 4% pine ash 1.90 g/cm3 and in CBR with 1.89 g/cm3, at 2% eucalyptus ash in PROCTOR 1.94 g/cm3 and in CBR at 1.90 g/cm3 and at 4% eucalyptus ash PROCTOR 1.62 g/cm3 and CBR 1.73 g /cm3, the difference between the highest value achieved in the standard sample being 16.79% with 2% eucalyptus ash; It is observed that there is an increase in soil resistance with the addition of eucalyptus and pine ash, as well as an increase in CBR, concluding that there is an increase in both pine and eucalyptus CBR.
