In he field of civil engineering and road and rail construction, the stability and durability of the subgrade play a critical role in the safety and maintenance of roads. The subgrade, as the lower layer of a road structure, must be able to withstand traffic loads and resist adverse environmental factors. In this context, the use of recycled materials, such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) fibres, has emerged as a sustainable and economically viable alternative to improve the geotechnical properties of the subgrade. PET fibres, obtained from recycled plastic bottles, have the potential to strengthen and stabilise the subgrade. However, despite the increasing attention to the incorporation of PET fibres in road and rail construction, there is still a lack of solid understanding of how this material influences the geotechnical properties of the subgrade under specific conditions. The geotechnical variability of roads, highways, and local soil characteristics make it essential to evaluate the behavior of the subgrade when adding PET fibers in particular geographic and geotechnical contexts. The "Villa El Paraíso PG KM 0+00 A KM 1+010 - APV UVIMA - San Sebastián - Cusco 2023" road presents a relevant case study for this problem. This road section experiences a variety of climatic and geotechnical conditions that make it essential to investigate how the addition of PET fibers affects its specific geotechnical properties. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to carry out a detailed evaluation by means of numerical finite element simulation of the behavior of the geotechnical properties of the subgrade on the mentioned road when adding PET fibers in variable percentages. This evaluation will allow a more precise understanding of how PET fibers influence the stability and durability of the subgrade by means of numerical simulation. The outcome of this research will contribute to decision making within road construction and maintenance, especially regarding the incorporation of recycled materials such as PET fibers to improve road infrastructure in a sustainable and efficient manner.
