Abstract

This monograph exposes a bibliographic review of the Materials used in the construction of lightened embankments destined for road works. The realization of a road project requires different stages that allow good planning and design in the presence of clayey, organic, volcanic and expansive soils, taking alternatives that do not generate greater cost overruns and delays, giving as a solution the construction of lightened embankments, with materials that Avoid overloading the foundation soil and changes in the chemical and biological properties of the soil that generate problems for the environment. Based on this, an analysis of the existing and ecological materials that allow the conformation of a lightened embankment with excellent benefits and low costs will be made, knowing all its operation and its construction process, finally the purpose is that the document is a starting point with the help of the state of the art for future projects, from materials that have been implemented in real life.
