Análisis estratigráfico de una zona con alto riesgo al deslizamiento por medio de métodos de prospección geofísica

Abstract

On this work I present results of a research conducted in a zone with high risk to suffer a landslide, located in the neighborhood of Campo Cielo in the town of Comayaguela in Francisco Morazan, Honduras, in February 2013. The research was conducted using the geophysical prospection methods of Seismic Refraction, and Electrical Resistivity. In this study, it was selected as a primary method the Method of Seismic Refraction, since the propopse of the study was to analize the stratigraphic structure of the study area, looking for zones that might be susceptible to have a landslide. The results for this study in comparison with the results obtained with the Electrical Resistivity Method, allow us to identify the zones that are susceptible to have landslides, and at the same time to estimated the thickness of the loss sediment layer, which were estimated at six (6) meters thickness around the crown of the landslide and ten (10) meters in the base of the landslide.
