Utilización de granulo de caucho pulverizado proveniente de llantas usadas como solución para reforzar los suelos blandos de subrasante en la sabana de Bogotá

Abstract

The purpose is to establish new alternatives to improve the subgrade of soft grounds mixing it with powdered rubber. Powder rubber is a commonly unused material that is very harmful to the environment. We pretend to establish an efficient way to stabilize the grounds of the Bogotá flatlands, studying a variaty of related research and comparing the new method technically, economically and environmentally with the ongoing methods. The proposal is a methodology to use this material on a pavement located at the 60th avenue between the streets 26th and 42nd, where we test the method to improve the unstability problems present in that section of the Bogotá flatland.
