Defensas dinámicas sucesivas para zonas amenazadas por caída de rocas del cerro San Eduardo, Guayaquil.

Abstract

The present research has its origin in the events that occurred in the area where the study was conducted. These backgrounds refer to the fall of rocks and the flow of debris in Cerro San Eduardo, which negatively affects the communities surrounding the hills, putting human life at risk, the vehicles that circulate through the streets next to it and the road infrastructure. Due to the reasons stated, the use of dynamic defenses placed successively to control rockfall is proposed, to provide protection against the threat of risk. For this, a bibliographical survey of the pertinent topics about the area, regulations such as the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, of Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil, and characteristics, components, and the schematic design of the defenses through the European Guide is conducted. of Technical Approval (ETAG 027). The schematic approach of the defenses is obtained through tables, graphs and photographs obtained in the technical visits to the proposed places, to which the placement of two successive dynamic defenses in Zone 1 and four successive dynamic defenses in Zone 1 is proposed. two; whose dimensions and characteristics are developed in the content of the document.
