This study evaluates the efficiency of the Terrasil additive in stabilizing clay soils by applying concentrations of 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% in the Cachimayo-Chinchero section. Tests were conducted on two types of soil samples, selecting sample 2 for the final analysis due to its lower initial CBR compared to sample 1, which represents more unfavorable conditions and a greater stabilization challenge. The soils in this region exhibit high plasticity and fine content, which compromises the stability of road infrastructure. Through laboratory tests, such as granulometry, Atterberg limits, maximum dry density, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR), the properties of samples treated and untreated with Terrasil were compared. The results show that Terrasil concentrations of 3% and 4% significantly increase load-bearing capacity, with initial CBR values of 3.9% at 0.1” and 4.2% at 0.2” penetration, rising to 14.0% at 0.1” and 15.9% at 0.2”, achieving improvements of over 250% and 275%, respectively, compared to the initial values. These improvements are essential to ensure the durability of the planned infrastructure in high-traffic areas. The application of Terrasil provides an effective and sustainable solution to stabilize clay soils in regions with challenging geotechnical conditions, contributing to safer and more durable road infrastructure.
