The proposed methodology is based on the concepts of the critical state soil mechanics, and the number of passes is chosen so that the final state of stresses of the blasted layer is located below the critical state line of the soil, where a dilative response is expected. Field and laboratory results of a blast densification program conducted at a waste disposal landfill located in South Carolina, USA, are presented and used to evaluate the proposed approach. A step-by-step example is presented in detail for this purpose. This methodology could provide to engineers a rational manner to estimate how much improvement is required in the soil to meet the design objective of a particular project and the costs associated with it.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN Este trabajo presenta una metodología para cuantificar el grado de densificación por explosivos o número de detonaciones requeridos para prevenir licuación y flujo en suelos arenosos sueltos y saturados, en un determinado proyecto. La metodología propuesta está basada en los conceptos de estado crítico de mecánica de suelos, y el número de detonaciones se escoge, de tal manera, que el estado final de esfuerzos del horizonte dinamitado, se localice por debajo de la línea de estado crítico del suelo, donde se espera una respuesta dilatante. Se presentan y utilizan los resultados obtenidos de ensayos de campo y laboratorio de un programa de densificación con explosivos en un relleno sanitario localizado en Carolina del Sur, Estados Unidos, con el objeto de evaluar el enfoque propuesto. Se presenta un ejemplo detallado paso a paso con éste propósito. Esta metodología puede proveer a ingenieros una manera racional de estimar que tanto mejoramiento se requiere en el suelo para alcanzar las condiciones de diseño de un proyecto en particular, así como los costos asociados a éste mejoramiento.]]></p></abstract>
