Abstract
Ecuador is exposed to seismic events, which cause a reduction in soil resistance due to vibration loads and their effect is the landslide. This work analyzes the stability of the soil slopes that are located on the abscissa 25 + 280 and 63 + 040 of the Garrapata - Santa María road located between the Chone and El Carmen cantons of the Manabí province, through the determination of the safety factor using the GeoSlope software, performing a dynamic and pseudo-static analysis, to observe the variations that exist when applying horizontal forces (Kh). In addition, the comparison of the Fellenius, Bishop, Janbu and Morgenstern-Price limit equilibrium methods was carried out based on the SPT results, which allowed classifying the soil strata. The results of the triaxial test determined the geotechnical parameters such as cohesion and friction angle.
