This thesis involves the geotechnical field, from the study of soil mechanics to the design of a structure such as a retaining wall, in order to propose a solution to the risk of a future landslide in the Pasaje La Paz. The methodology used is quantitative, with a type of applied research and descriptive research design, present in the study of soil mechanics that served us for the design of a retaining wall. Referencing the Norma E.050, “Suelos y Cimentaciones“, an altered sample was extracted in a plastic bag to determine its physical properties, thus classifying our soil as silty sand SM according to the SUCS classification and A-2-4 according to the AASHTO classification. Additionally, the mechanical properties were identified with a sample remolded in the laboratory for the triaxial shear test Unconsolidated Undrained UU, which resulted in an angle of internal friction Ø = 26.3° and Cohesion C=0.20 Kg/cm2; in the chemical properties, the result of the tests showed that the agents present in the soil have a moderate level of chlorides and sulfates, while the presence of salts is high. Having determined that the bearing capacity of the soil is 1.27 kg/cm2, the pre-dimensioning was carried out based on pre-established criteria. Subsequently, the dimensions were defined for the L-shaped retaining wall without toe, with a height = 4.00 m, crown width = 0.50 m, screen height = 3.20 m, base = 3.20 m and footing height = 0.80 m. Finally, considering the Rankine method for the calculation of the acting forces, it was possible to verify that the Factor of Safety due to overturning is FSV= 3.65, the Factor of Safety due to sliding is FSD= 1.69 and that the load falls on the central third of the base. Based on the data found, the soil was improved with 30 cm thick reinforced material, thus complying with the admissible capacity in our design.
