At present, situations can be observed in which the terrain undergoes constant changes due to climatic, geological, seismic factor s, and other natural phenomena, causing movements that cause the slope to fail. Therefore, each engineering project must have as its main objective to ensure the integrity of the end user, intervening appropriately in an optimal design for each situation, since this depends on the characteristics, conditions, and needs of each project, without leaving aside the necessary air or ground logistics. The engineering project on which the thesis is focused is the “Integral Rehabilitation of the Huancayo Huancavelica Railway“, where the section of study chosen is between the Mariscal Cáceres and Acoria stations. This section analyzed presents landslides or debris flow that gradually increase due to the vibrations caused by the passage of the train; furthermore, there is evidence of the absence of support structures and the lack of maintenance in the progressive km 86+154 to km 86+208. This problem brings with it the lack of access for passengers and/or transport of merchandise and minerals, to the towns that the railway line connects. Faced with the problem in question, there are several options for structural reinforcement to improve the bearing capacity of the soil and even from a more general view there are different types of retaining walls. Therefore, an optimal solution to our problem is the use of reinforced soil as a support structure. The design of the reinforced soil wall for the section studied was carried out considering the theory of limit equilibrium of the methodology of “Design by Allowable Stress Design“ (ASD - Allowable Stress Design) based on the recommendations of the guide FHWA-NHI- 00-043 and the considerations in the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) design method. The ASD methodology consists of evaluating the external and internal stability in all the resistance limit stresses, while the global stability and the vertical or horizontal displacement are evaluated in the service limit states. For the analysis of the stability of the wall, the software SLIDE (limit equilibrium) and PLAXIS (finite elements) were used, in which it is concluded that the proposed design of reinforced soil wall for the railway structure in the studied section is stable since the values of the Safety Factors (FS) exceed the minimum values and the horizontal displacement does not exceed the maximum allowed value recommended by the Federal Highway Administration in publication FHWA-NHI-00-043.
