INFLUENCIA DEL TAMANO DE PARTICULA Y ANALISIS GEOTECNICO EN ESTABILIDAD DE TALUDES PARA CANALIZACIONES

This article addresses a project located in the southern region of Guatemala City, specifically in Villanueva, aimed at protecting a new infrastructure intended for an industrial park. The initiative integrates hydraulic and geotechnical aspects, focusing on the stability and sustainability of gabion structures for managing flows from the Platanitos River and soil recovery. The impact of stone particle size and the application of polymeric coatings on the gabions was analyzed, using digital tools for hydraulic design and slope stability evaluation. The methodology included a detailed hydraulic analysis, followed by a slope stability design that considered safety factors and the interaction of water in the channel. A pseudo-static analysis was conducted to verify the structures resistance under dynamic conditions, highlighting the importance of evaluating stability in the presence of water.
