Análise de estabilidade de encostas no município de Guaramiranga (Ce) e soluções de engenharia

Abstract

The work that follows is a study of the mountain region in the municipality of Guaramiranga with geotechnical approach. Mountainous regions have different challenges of engineering compared to flat lands. The steep slopes, soil characteristics and moisture present an obstacle in the design and construction of civil infrastructure and superstructure. With the development of the mountain region of Baturité in recent decades, especially by Guaramiranga tourist attraction, increased the number of habitations and road access in urban and rural areas. As a result, they are several reports of landslides in various parts of the region. This work uses, in its methodology, parameterizations with accessible information in the literature in its methodology in order to perform a preliminary study. It is important say that, to obtain the accuracy required for an engineering project, several tests have to be done. After choosing the slopes of study and definition of parameters of soil strength, natural specific weight, geotechnical profile and relief, we proceeded with the study of slope stability for translational rupture of infinite plane surface and rotational rupture of circular surface. The results were organized and discussed about the possibility of slip and magnitude of the problem. Finally, some proposals of engineering solutions were made as an effort to contribute with the technical and economic viability for the preventing of accidents involving damage to property and human lives. The result indicates the need for in-depth studies through public investment in question.
