Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine theresistance to unconfined compression by stabilizing soils with eucalyptus leaves; for this purpose, a pre-experimental design was applied in which 18 samples obtained from the Chacapalpa, La Oroya district were used. The eucalyptus leaves were obtained from the UNCP university city. The procedures for compression and unconfined tests, were according to Peruvian technical standards formed into two groups.  The strenghts found were 0.97 and 1.99 kg/cm2 for moisture contents of 14.24 to 16.13 expressed in percentages. Therefore, the resistance of the soil with the use of eucalyptus leaves in dry conditions improves considerably, showing its stability and reduction of soil deformations.
