Peru has a great diversity of climates currently being affected by the long-term heating of the earth. Several factors, such as environmental pollution caused by plastic waste and the lack of recycling procedures implemented by industries, can trigger global warming creating weather phenomena like “El niño,“ which occurs when the Pacific Ocean's waters get warmer than usual around the coast of Peru and Ecuador, generating several natural disasters. For this thesis, we have studied the Santa Eulalia basin, which in 2017 was affected by this phenomenon and saw an increase in rainfall, causing floods that destroyed homes, agricultural fields, and livestock. This has created havoc on communities with inadequate engineering defenses that protect them against flooding. Our research aims to reuse discarded plastic to reinforce cyclopean concrete, ultimately improving the mechanical properties of the walls we use for riverside defense. To achieve this, we used HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS models to calculate the river's maximum flow, the scour level to define the wall height, and the data obtained in other investigations about concrete reinforced with plastic fiber to determine which of our four protection alternatives will prevail: Gabion walls, sheet piling walls, cyclopean concrete walls with and without plastic fibers. Comparing technical, economic, environmental, and social criteria allows us to conclude that the best alternative as a river defense is cyclopean concrete reinforced with recycled plastic fibers.
