Use of Recyclable Materials, Alternative for Hydraulics

Talking into account the influence of the scouring on the slope of the Pacho - La Palma route K21 + 900), a physical model was realized with the objective of evaluating the dissipation of energy between a conventional and non - conventional structure with tires out of use. For this, a comparison was made between the energy presented for different cases of protection of the slope, the first case not protected, the second case was protection with bags and finally with tires out of use. For the realization of the physical model we took into account the similarity laws of Froude that made a more adequate relation to scale the model to optimal conditions of modeling. By means of information from the Charco Largo station, a series of annual maximum flows and river bathymetry were obtained in the study area. Finally, the modeling was performed and the energy curves were plotted for each case, establishing that structure presents the greatest energy dissipation for the study area.
