Estudo preliminar de caracterização geotécnica para projetos de fundações de edifícios em Caucaia-Ce

Abstract

The exploration and modifying the environment they live in, is part of human activity. The development of engineering has led to the adaptation of human life to the most diverse environments, enabling it to expand the earth's surface. In this process, the mapping has gained increasingly more prominent role, especially with the emergence of new technologies, it has as a fundamental characteristic the representation of information and data about the physical environment, making it a key element as a guiding tool for planning and management agencies and governmental entities within their territories, to prevent natural disasters and promote environmental preservation and sustainable development as well as for the implementation of projects of public or private engineering. The present work is a preliminary study concerning the basement of the city of Caucaia / Ce, located in the metropolitan area of Fortaleza and therefore considered expansion area due to intense urban growth capital. This study has as a fundamental step, the creation of a spatial representation of information generated by the collection of polls to percussion made by a medium-sized company and by conducting surveys on the auger to collect material for testing profiles in the laboratory. This information will provide insight for the development of a charter of foundation indicative of the type of foundation works best for small, medium and large in each of the five districts selected for the study (Caucaia headquarters Catuana, Guararu, and Mirambé jurema). As this is a preliminary study, the types of foundations indicated for each district should not be accepted as definitive, being mandatory to carry out more detailed and specific studies before the final choice of type of foundation to be used in the construction of a work in a particular location.
