Subgrade soils characterization data, for correlation of geotechnical variables on urban roads in northern Colombia.

ABSTRACT: Within the variables relevant to the design of a pavement structure, the subgrade soils should be considered, which must be characterized in order to determine their mechanical properties and their bearing capacity. However, in developing countries such as Colombia, where the resources available for the design phase of a road project are very scarce, simplified and low-cost techniques should be used while delivering fast results, in order to be able to determine the geotechnical characteristics of soils. Therefore, it is necessary to look for correlations between the different geotechnical variables of subgrade soils. This document contains a database with the main physical characteristics of the soils. To collect these data, 46 geotechnical survey were carried out through several urban ro
