Soil improvement for a subgrade using metallic “spark” – Cajamarca 2023

Resumen

This study seeks to address the need for innovation in the improvement of subgrades, highlighting the importance of the bearing capacity of the soil in the construction of infrastructure. This is why a detailed investigation is presented on the use of metallic spark as an innovative material to improve soil properties. The results obtained demonstrate a significant improvement in the CBR index (California Bearning Ratio), confirming the viability and effectiveness of this method. The conclusions highlight the potential of metallic spark to strengthen foundations, providing a solid foundation to develop more resilient infrastructure. The recommendations suggest expanding the research to various contexts and optimizing the application of the metallic spark. This study contributes to the advancement of geotechnical engineering, offering new perspectives for sustainable soil improvement in construction projects.
