Sliding of slopes is one of the most common and challenging issues in engineering. Various methods are used for their stabilization; however, a large portion of these involve reinforcements with synthetic materials. Currently, research is being conducted to replace these materials with natural fibers. This thesis proposes an innovative sustainable solution for slope protection using Cabuya fibers as material for the production of geogrids. Additionally, the process of obtaining and designing this geogrid is detailed. Experimental tests were conducted to measure the tensile strength and percentage of elongation of the fibers for verification. For the evaluation and analysis of the proposed solution, the study area corresponding to the Province of Talara-Piura was chosen. This province experiences a high rate of slope sliding due to seismic activity, geomorphology, gravity, and erosion, which adversely affect all residents of the region. Two sections of the most critical slope in that area were selected as the objects of study. The research was conducted in an exploratory and experimental manner, as it was necessary to go to the study area to collect soil samples to obtain the required parameters, as well as Cabuya fibers for the production of the geogrid. Subsequent evaluation was carried out through laboratory tests to determine the tensile strength and elongation of the fibers. Additionally, the safety factor of the natural and reinforced slope was evaluated and compared using the computational program Slide 6.0 based on the Spencer and Morgenstern-Price Method under static and pseudo-static conditions. According to the results obtained, it is confirmed that the Cabuya fiber-based geogrid is a potential option for slope stabilization, as the increase in the safety factor in both conditions is greater than 50% compared to their initial conditions.
