Abstract:

In this research, it is proposed to stabilize the soil surrounding the water and sewerage networks with sodium chloride to avoid the formation of holes produced by leaks that cause fines dragging that weaken the soil and cause collapse, a phenomenon known as piping or internal erosion. The soil was characterized by the SUCS and AASHTO methods, carrying out the tests of sieving granulometry, sedimentation granulometry, consistency limits, and natural humidity. The compaction test was carried out by means of the modified Proctor test on the standard sample and the samples with the addition of NaCl, to obtain the maximum dry density and humidity, using them as a reference in the unconfined CBR.
