Description
  • In El Salvador during the rainy season or when major earthquakes affect the area, processes like mass movements, liquefaction, erosion and floods affect the territory leaving environmental, social and economic damages. The volcanic tephras called %22Tierra Blanca Joven%22 (TBJ) which is a product of the last plinian eruption of the Ilopango Caldera are the more problematic region in the Metropolitan Area of San Salvador. In El Salvador during the summer and rainy season the groundwater level remains low in most of the areas, this means that the soils in the country are unsaturated and there are capillary forces that act on the soil structure making that an “apparent cohesion” (suction) improve the strength of the soil; this circumstance makes that the slopes are almost vertical and temporally stable, but will collapse when wetted or during seismic events. To that problematic is possible to add that the majority of the water pipelines are in bad condition and when they fail is possible to expect the collapse of entire streets or houses. Wetting of the soil is likely to occur following construction development, because evaporation is reduced by covering the ground surface with a structure. For unsaturated soils the use of two independent stress variables: net stress and suction are needed. Suction values of TBJ “G” unit of the proximal facie were obtained using pressure plate, tensiometer and filter paper to obtain a Soil-Water Retention Curve (SWRC); the use of this curve into finite elements software can help to obtain the shear strength and permeability properties. For monitoring, the use of Quickdraw tensiometers (suction) and TMS3 (soil moisture content) is proposed, because it could be a way to build a field methodology for early warning system for the slopes for urban planning and risk assessment.
